Spice Up Your Sandwiches

I am not sure if the article Spice Up Your Sandwiches disgusted or intrigued me more. I am actually starting to lean more on intrigued though. Ratha Chaupoly and Ben Daitz have compiled a list of ways to start enjoying the many possible sandwiches you can make and eat. My favorite of their tips is number three "Salad on your sandwich". I have been trying to eat healthier lately, but I never seem to because we are always eating out. Of course, this might not be the case if we were ever home long enough for either of us to make dinner. The salad on your sandwich idea got me to thinking about getting rye bread and putting chopped ham, lettuce, tomatoes, boiled egg, crushed croutons, and poppyseed dressing on it. And yes, I am one to toast EVERY sandwich so I would definitely do that too. I am sure you all would enjoy the other tips as well. These include: "1. Find the right bread match, 2. Brighten it up with fresh herbs, 4. Creative condiments, and 5. DIY Pickles." The only others of these that I was personally interested in was the first one because I like to try different breads. Pickled foods, on the other-hand, are not my thing.
Thinking about and reading this got me to wondering how these guys got so "important" enough to become "big news". So I googled them. I found out that they were on VH1 and that they owned their own sandwich shop. Go figure. The picture on the home page makes them look so "into" their work. and the items on the menu look a little pricey to me, but I think they sound interesting. The only thing that throws me is a note on their menu that says "Our sandwiches were created to be enjoyed as they are. Please, no modifications!" If they want to promote new flavors, why would they not want anyone to modify anything? I just don't understand that.
Nonetheless, I think these guys are pretty awesome. I even posted a video of them (from their site)for you guys. Some of the sandwich ideas they come up with seem to be a little over the top to me, but other people might like them so who am I to judge something I refuse to even try? I honestly think that if I was ever home enough to spend time picking out meals and trying new things like these guys do, I totally would. I wish I was able to be home to do that atleast. If I was, fast food would be out of the picture because I am so tired of it. I hate spending all my money on fast food. When I first got married and was home more I was able to cook and experiment and I loved it! These guys atleast have fun with what they do. Check out the video. It's about them giving back to charity and having fun at the same time. :) (And it's only 4 minutes long!)
