Have I mentioned a chicken salad made with a grainy mustard, dill relish, some mayo and a hard boiled egg chopped up in it? Put it on some of your favourite grainy/crunchy bread and some dill havarti. Or Muenster. Or smokey Gouda.

Have a bunch a little dill pickles on the side.

This is basically my standby chicken salad recipe, minus the egg and cheese, and instead of the relish I usually dice some pickles and sometimes some jalapenos and mix it in. Also sometimes a favorite hot sauce. But I am going to try it with the egg, that's a good idea. And maybe the cheese.

We have Dave's Killer Bread out here but not everywhere. I've liked what I've had.

I woman I dated for a couple years once sang in a band Dave played in. She said he was a really nice guy and a talented guitarist.

There seems to be a interconnection between ex-cons and bakers for some reason.  That is a thing here too.  I always figured that it was because most of the larger bakeries in the city are nestled right in the same area as the missions, shelters and sex trade areas of the city.

Oh man, that is totally why in places were there isn't a huge drug trade you ALWAYS buy cocaine from waiters.  I bet at least 75% of waiters at cool places either have cocaine on them or could get it within a day.

Maybe things have changed since I waited tables (in 1998-99), or maybe it's regional, but I wouldn't have counted on my table-waiting buddies for coke. Weed, X, or acid, sure, but either I was too sheltered to know what was really going on or coke is (was?) too expensive for the average wait staff in my town.

I have always heard that waiters do coke, but my friends who are waiters do not seem to do coke.

Back to the topic of good-ass sandwiches, yesterday I got lunch from the "Rolling Ficelle" truck in DC.  A ficelle is like a baguette, only skinnier. I got one with roast beef, some kinda cheese, lettuce and tomato, and a hossyradish sauce.  That was a good-ass sandwich.

I'm sure it's not pronounced that way, but when I read "ficelle"  I thought fecal-y, which was a turn off for me.  Same as Quizno's which is a sub chain, I always thought queasy-no's and didn't eat there for years.  Turned out they are actually alright for a chain restaurant. 

In other news: this thread always makes me hungry for a quality sandwich, and in my local, there just aren't any good deli's in the immediate vacinity.

When I was in Chicago recently, I had my previous Best Sandwich Of All Time for the second time.

This time... egh. Not that impressive. I don't know what changed. They moved locations and now it is all this really douchey Trendy Organic Techno feel that I hate.

But something was definitely way off about the sandwich. Last time the elements were in perfect harmony:

Serrano ham
Manchego Cheese
some kind of sweet fruit spread
fennel
pretzel bread

Back to the topic of drugs and the food service industry, I bet waiters do a lot more meth than coke these days?

That's probably true. When I was waiting tables, LSD was more popular around here, but I think it's been replaced by meth.

Pot is still a perennial favorite, but that's barely even a drug.

I don't think you're the only one. At the bottom of the menu on the truck, it says "It's pronounced 'fi-SELL.'"

I want them to do anti-drug campaigns with this message.
