What better way to celebrate the Golden Age of the Sandwich than with the Big New York Sandwich Book . A gorgeous collection of more than 99 delicious sandwich recipes from a "who's who" of talented chefs, such as Dan Barber, Daniel Boulud, Jean-Georges Vongherichten, Mario Batali, and beloved restaurants in New York City, it is a virtual map--in sandwiches--of New York's diversity. From the classic deli-style sandwich to the exotic haute sandwiches, there is a sandwich for everyone. Heavily illustrated with images of the chefs and restaurants as well as beautiful full-color photographs of the sandwiches themselves, this book is a keepsake as well as a practical recipe book for big New York sandwiches.
I guess I'm spoiled by living in NYC because nearly all of the recipes had me thinking, well, instead of making my OWN pork-belly pastrami over the next three days (or whatever), why don't I just GO to this restaurant and get them to make it for me?
