I think I read somewhere that this was JFK's favorite sandwich, or something like that.

Make the pickles first. The sandwich follows.

They hand you one of these as soon as you cross the border into Vermont.

The foothills have eyes for a very good sandwich.

Every aioli on this blog starts here.

My dad's recipe. Four days and they're done. They keep for a month, if they last that long.

Slow-cooked duck legs, a rich demiglace-based sauce, and crispy breadcrumbs. Worth the three hours.

Boiled green plantains, mashed smooth. The pickled onion topping is not optional.

Peppery, deep, and worth the hour it takes on the stove.

Swordfish has enough flavor and density to hold its own. Don't overthink it.
