I'll stick to Ale-81.

I would drink that product simply for the fact that it's somehow managed to remain independent after more than 80 years.

my favorite carolina soft drink is Dr. Enuf

Round these parts we have FrosTop root beer.  It's magnificent.

I think my favorite soft drink would have to be Chinotto. I've never been able to find it outside of this one little Italian market though. It kind of makes it more special that way though, so whenever I buy some I really savor it.

I was always a fan of Switch. It's carbonated fruit juice with no sugar added. But no place sells it any more. Izze is similar but has more of a seltzer taste to it.

Too bad they were closed.

Dang, I wish we had a Frostop stand here.  We just have bottles of the stuff available in the stores.

I am envious of you Americans and your endless sandwich and soft drink choices.

I have two good-ass sandwiches.

1.  Bagel, not toasted, split and both sides spread thickly with cream cheese, bottom half piled with smoked salmon, then plenty of wafer thin slices of red onion, a dollop of hossradish cream, a tablespoon of capers.

2.  Thick slice of buttered multi-grain bread, lettuce, homemade mayo, cold Wiener schnitzel (This is crucial - it must be cold, or the lettuce will soften and the butter will melt.  This is not good-ass.), salt and pepper, top with second slice of buttered multi-grain.

Those both are indeed good ass sandwiches.

This must be consumed by me, and soon. This is a damn Good-Ass sandwich.

jalapeno bagel, toasted and buttered, with two slices of bacon, an over-hard egg, and a slice of tomato

[wombat]

Choop, man, I love you, but jalapeno bagel is a concept that makes me want to claw my own tongue out.

The problem with JS's number 1 good-ass sandwich is that you can get a bagel anywhere nowadays but a good bagel almost nowhere. They are just round bread. If not round bread containing sacrileges like jalapeno or blueberry.

Yes, I am a traditionalist. You gotta problem with that?

Adventures in sandwiching continued apace this weekend in Houston.  An LSU frat boy is the unlikely brains behind a hole in the wall po-boy joint in one of my favorite neighborhoods; the usual Cajun staples (fried shrimp, oysters, etc) are all superb, but on Sunday I was feeling a little more...good-ass. Enter the Heart Attack: strips of corn-battered fried catgiraffe, topped with sauteed peppers and onions, lettuce y tomato, a pinkish remmoulade, and two over-medium fried eggs topped with queso, wedged into a cracklingly good French baguette.

If you're not salivating right now, then...well, damn, dude, I've done everything I can.

I am so damn mad, because my roommate always complains about bagels in St Louis, and I always thought he was just being a jerk.

Now I have had bagels from brooklyn, and I can never go back to bagels that are just round bread.

I just don't get why people can't make their bagels more like good bagels. Softer and puffier. So good.
I always imagined it was some hard-to-describe difference... not "they are completely different in texture."



Another good-ass sandwich I had recently was a roast beef sandwich with cheddar, mustard and mayo, on dutch crunch roll. This was in San Francisco, and I ate it on a bench in a park in Chinatown. It was very satisfying, and for some reason I think about this sandwich a lot.

Supposedly the key is NY city water. This is the same reason that even crappy Sbarro pizza in NY is better than the best pizza anywhere else.
