57 Sandwiches.
I’ve decided it is Sandwich Week here at the Burger. And so you’re getting this link to a great piece at the NYT on 57 of the best sandwiches in New York. They’re great sandwiches, but even better would be eating one while scrolling the story on your phone. This is one of those pieces that seems purpose-built for consumption on a fondle slab. It’s just a lovely piece of digital media.

The big shopping centre at Inala has great Vietnamese sandwiches from a collection of variably-dodgy-looking places at the back. One place has great egg sandwiches - the lady behind the counter pops open a little cupboard door below the counter, revealing a gas stove, and cooks you an omelette on the spot. They all take ApplePay! Extra ambience is provided by the Vietnamese men (always men) playing mahjong and Chinese chess in front of them. Turning up there very early, as I did once recently due to jet-lag, is an experience, as the stock for all the greengrocers gets carted in by an army of fellows with little trolleys. Definitely drive to Inala instead of flying to New York.
Great...I was all ready to go to bed and now I want a sandwich. You are not helping me JB!
