I’ve been rolling through the East Village a lot this week. The difference in the hood from when I lived off the corner of 14th and 2nd is remarkable. Not that this is news to me just that I chose now to discuss it. In those days Crif Dog had just popped up, we’d dance the night away...
There are few places that have inspired me like this miniature sandwich shop in Florence. This little hole in the wall, literally, serves up simple sammies on the freshest bread as well as offers a huge selection of wines by the glass. Here I knocked back a sopressata and ricotta, maybe the Best...

As Jay and I are on the hunt for the best sandwich in town I was in the mood to have a southern sandwich I have not had in a while, The Chicken Biscuit About ‘Wich Hunting: Jay and I have travelled the world eating everything from Balut in the Philippines to blood sausage in Argentina. In every...
Here’s a quick hit from our recent layover in New Delhi. Not going to lie here. Not the best food. In fact, a bit scary. About ‘Wich Hunting: Anthony and I have travelled the world eating everything from Balut in the Philippines to blood sausage in Argentina. In every destination there...
Num Pang – NYC A top 10 sando shop favorite of ours here in Manhattan. It’s been a while since we knocked out a ‘Wich Hunting episode. Today we do it with the help of some new friends at Tastemade. A few ex-Yahoo’s and a couple others created this dope little app that makes...
This is exciting. Some smart food friendly friends of ours gave us a call last week to tell us about a project they are working on. We loved it so much that we persuaded them to let us try it out before the rest of the world (it just launched this week!). What does this have to do with...

My buddy Sean Bell and I sent out to explore Venice. Sean had been there before and I asked him for the Sean Bell Tour of Venice. We set out in the morning and had a lot of walking to do that day. Sean, (not a morning person fyi, typical musician) needed a quick fix before we get into the heart...
I have been to Vietnam. I have had this sandwich a hundred times. The above is raved about as the best in San Francisco but I sure hope they are wrong. I realize I am not in Saigon and I don’t hold this sammie to the standards that only a third world, health code-less country can achieve but...
I need to get a couple things off my chest. I realized that neither Ant or I have posted something we cooked in over a month. Totally unacceptable in my book, especially considering that part of the reason this blog exists is because we grew up cooking, love to cook and love home cooked food. Now,...
Mike’s Deli from Anthony Anello on Vimeo. It was a perfect Friday afternoon and two friends of mine had planned to spend the day at The Bronx Zoo. It’s been a really really really long time since I had been there. I actually don’t even remember it at all. Apparently that is where I got...
This sandwich started many years ago when I was about 17 years old. It gained super stardom by Jimmy Bruccalari, one of Ant’s oldest friends. Jimmy came over the house one afternoon and explained to Ant, my parents and me that he had been frequenting a new market in town. Verelli’s was...
Pork + Egg sandwich on a baguette ...
Mortadella, soppressata, provolone, lettuce, tomato, oil and vinegar. That is the V&S Special. There may not be a better sandwich in all of South Florida or, dare I say, Brooklyn. I know, I know very bold words. Well, let me explain. These guys are Italians from up north. They get it. They lived...
