Sandwiches

Sandwiches?

You gotta love it when your friends are in the New York Times' Dining Section! 'Alex Cocinera' (aka Alexandra Raij, chef at tapas bar 'Tia Pol') invited me to a sandwich potluck at her apartment this coming Friday. "bring enough for 12 people, make your favorite sandwich, I'd love to have you and your wife." Sounds great, but I hate making sandwiches. Last year, Alex had created a much publicized and very tasty "uni panini" - a mini baguette smeared with sea urchin and mustard oil. I could eat 3 or 4 of those, and I'd take one any day over your average cubano, or meatball sub....

Jimmy's No. 43 chef, Phillip Kirschen-Clark, is currently serving a dessert grilled cheese sandwich, with Nutella and Brooklyn made ricotta.
