Colorado Chow Down

I was on a road trip with fellow sandwich enthusiast and sandwich mansion contributor Kevin Heitczman. This is his take on things

"So as a few of you know, over winter break a group of us embarked on a most excellent journey towards Colorado. Matt, Rick, Kristen, and myself experienced all we could on our week long trip and you know what that means...sandwiches!

Along with some road photos, we have a sandwich I got from a deli/rave craziness(Half Fast Subs Boulder CO the larest sandwich selection ive ever seen and it was inside a poppin bar). It is chicken fried steak, mash potatoes, gravy, and some avacado. This thing was long as fuck and delicious. Then at one of the brewery tours, we found this little gem called Beer Mustard. It tasted awesome but we didn't have any food to put it on...still don't know why we didn't take it. Then while visiting Coor's brewery, we stopped at a bar in Golden and got some buffalo burgers which were slammin. Beer mustard would have set it off.

Little disappointed with myself for not having more photos but thats how it goes

till the next time,

do work"

David's Brisket House

This sandwich from Scott Schweizer Brooklyn NY

"Killer pastrami sandwich from David's brisket house on Nostrand between Fulton and Atlantic. The place looks grimy and some wonkey eyed dude makes the sandwiches, but for $5 you can't go wrong. The pastrami and brisket are the most tender, greasy thing you've ever had. A message from Dave himslef "its a pleasure to hear so much fans love our flavor.we do what we gota do we do what we do best is doing the dew like we do always for you.our pleasure to serve you.you can check our web site for hours and info type at the address bar

The Mike Sandwich

This one from Steve Russell of Buffalo NY

"This is called the Mike Sandwich from local coffee house Spot Coffee. A friend put a picture of it on facebook and it looked amazing so I immediately went to get it.

On a croissant: Sausage, pan friend egg, melted provolone, cream cheese spread. "

Chili Sandwich

Chili, rice, cheese, sour cream, and jalapeno sauce on a portuguese roll

Shore prep

My boy Giancarlo Liberati sent this one in "Tryin to eat heathier for the new year(gotta get in shape for the summer, jersey shore fist pumpin) kelly made me this grilled chicken salad samich w avacado quartered cucumbers red onions juilen sliced carrots w a side of basalimic on toasted wheat bread. I fuckin love samichs."

This is why breakfast was invented

corned beef hash, cheese, sunny side up egg, cheese, and bacon in between 2 fat pancakes. GETSOME! and If I had some taylor ham you can bet your boots it would have been on there. I also recreated this masterpiece at a dinner down the street from my house the other day it was unreal.

BBQ Brisket

Kevin Heitczman presents

"So my roommate Vincent and I are in the deli looking to get some chomp. I see they have BBQ Brisket for the dinner plate so you know I'm getting that on a hero. Looking around I see they have mashed potatoes so I decided to get them as well BUT this time around it went on the sandwich. Together it's got bbq brisket, swiss, avocado, mashed potatoes, gravy and bbq sauce.
