Description
🔗 Nobody wrote down the sandwiches we served for 35 years, so I finally did. All 100+ recipes and much more — get em before they're gone: https://www.nancysdiner.com/
For 35 years I ran the counter at a little diner on Main Street, and the sandwich board was the heart of the lunch rush. A sandwich was the working man's meal — cheap, quick, filling, carried in a lunch pail or eaten on a stool with a cup of coffee. Today I'm sharing 25 forgotten diner sandwiches America used to order every day, and exactly how each one was made.
From the French dip and the Reuben to the Monte Cristo, fried bologna, pimento cheese, the Kentucky Hot Brown, and the loose-meat sandwich — these are the honest, cheap, satisfying sandwiches the old diners were built on. Make one for somebody you love this week.
IN THIS VIDEO:
🥪 The French dip & the Reuben done right
