@achewood I am composing a tone poem about eagles, lawnmowers, and Ted Nugent. It is composed only of the sounds of those things.

Great Caesar's Ghost, is that an actual quote from this person? It's like the turtle in Blade Runner, except this time I don't want to help it.

Just Roast Beef in a Wonderbread bag, as far as I know.

Open faced roast beef sandwich on white with a lump of mashed potatoes and brown gravy.

Diner lunch.

I've never understood the concept of an open faced sandwich, nor come across it in real life. Is it not merely a roast dinner with a piece of bread underneath it?

no, it's a sandwich with only one slice of bread. you eat it with a knife and fork. usually there's gravy involved, so you wouldn't pick it up. certain sandwiches can't be done like this (reuben, cuban, dammit rule of 3 there's got to be another that rhymes) because they require two pieces of bread.

roast beef/cheddar/hossradish? check. turkey/provolone? you bet. brat/sauerkraut? damn straight.

My only reference for open-faced sandwiches is the character of "Open Face" on that old Nickelodeon kids' show, The Adventures of Pete & Pete. He was a bully whose defining characteristic was his fondness for open-faced sandwiches.

I think that 'a sandwich with one piece of bread and gravy' and 'a roast dinner with bread underneath it' are pretty much the same thing. I think once gravy is involved, it's only a sandwich in the sense that if you add the one piece of bread and call it a sandwich you can make an excuse for eating it for lunch.

Also I think that there is no reason you couldn't make an open-faced reuben sandwich. You can make an open-face melted cheese sandwich, so why not an open faced melted cheese and etc sandwich. Not that I think you would you want to or anything, but theoretically.

(Also thank god for topic wandering.)

Open face sandwiches were a dining hall staple when I was at summer camp. We occasionally had them in the high school cafeteria, also.

The best part about open face sandwiches is they usually come with gravy fries. Mmm, gravy fries.

Out here, nobody asks "Ya want gravy on that?" very much if at all. That's why I like traveling, my first experience with Canada, other than a border guard who carefully led us to the right answer that all the wine we had was for "personal consumption" (nice lady), was in a regular old restaurant in Lethbridge where not only did they ask if I wanted gravy on everything but they just brought me a boat to the table. I like places that don't donny-fart around on the gravy front.

Gravy fries are pretty rare around here. I always had to ask in the cafeterias I went to. But in PA they were often a menu item. I guess in some ways I never fully acclimated to the DC cuisine. For example, I've never eaten a half smoke.

A quick google shows that, apparently, I have under different terminology.

Whatta ya got against the tube meats portion of the food pyramid?

Side note, last time flying through Chicago I went for the 'official' chi-dog experience. If the peppers and onions were done right and not a soggy ass mess it might have been OK, just eliminate those thin green peppers that burn all the way through you.

WTF Chicago? Food should not hurt for the entirety of the digestive process.

I like hot italian sausage and brats, I've just never actually eaten a real* half smoke. Chicago dogs I'm not down with. I grew up with hot dog sauce and can't really eat a dog without it.

Every place has it's own style and recipe but Nick's is probably the most well known: http://nicksconeysauce.com/nicks_sauce/unique_characteristics.htm
