I don't necessarily mean specific recipes, I mean concepts. A western sandwich is bread, (vegan) meat or cheese, sauce, tomato, something pickled, some salad, mostly, all layered and/or thinly sliced. Cross out maybe some of them for simplicity, like the mayo tomato or the british cheese and cucumber.

A döner kebap is sort of layered but everything but the protein layer is more of a mix up and not like tomato followed by onion or whatever.

A Banh Mi is sort of western of course, but it does a twist. The layers are there-ish, but they don't matter so much. Sort of a hybrid between something like a kebap and a pita if you catch my drift.

What other sandwiches are there, conceptually?

I actually do this one, mix of peppers, onions, different mushrooms maybe, garlic and olives fried up and then use 2 toasted (on a pan not in a toaster) portobello mushrooms. I've also done the mushroom for bread with a leftover red cabbage and carrot vinaigrette coleslaw, vegan Russian dressing, saeurkraut and tempeh and it was a sorta reuben. Fucking amazing.

When I did morning shifts at my previous job I would often eat what I would call The Bananarito, I'd make a large thin pancake and wrap it around a banana with nuts, whatever fruit was around at the time and this amazing date caramel sauce we had. Wrap it up, pop it in a press for a bit. I'm not a breakfast person and generally all I can stand to eat for the first bit after waking up is bread, fruit and nuts. You can add a bit of oatmeal in there too.

I give a shit about sandwiches. My livelihood since I've started working has been about food I have done fine dining, high end catering for millionaire 'charity' dinners, done riders for Rockstar, catered business summits that I wish I knew how to bomb effectively, hole in the wall vegan places, a string of random other restaurants and also doing craft service for movies. One huge thing I have learned over this career is that every single person on this planet really just wants to eat a great sandwich. Liz Lemon was entirely correct on that one. There is no better food format, the other most popular is bowl of stuff and rice and thst requires a bowl and a utensil. The Sandwich is the absolute food of the people. Packable, portable, gets the job done at worst and is among the best damn food ever at best. There is a reason burgers and pizzas and sausages on buns in hotdogs form are absolutely massive, they're fantastic. Form, function and flavor as well as an unlimited well of variety. The sandwich has it all.

If I had my own restaurant somehow it would be almost entirely sandwich focused. Soup of the day, a few salads and maybe house made potato chips or wedges or something but the main thing would be the best fucking sandwiches ever. I'm at a point I could run a successful place but also don't wanna

Funny, my win the lottery restaurant is the stew kitchen that also serves sandwiches. Stew is like $2 a ladle, sandwich is $20 on account of the artisanal craft. Except if I think you look cool in which case you just get the sandwich

I've got a few really really good soups thst I csn rotate but it's not something I'm as good at. I do amazing tomato basil, roasted red pepper, 'cream' of mushroom, Moroccan stew, potato paprika and I am in fact the pope of chilli town. Other than my mains I'm not great at soup
