There's a lot of peanut butter in Thai food and other Asian fare, so why not have Asian ingredients on your peanut butter sandwich? - The Amateur Gourmet

Okay, okay, we all know that Dunkin' Donuts is not the healthiest place in the world. Besides donuts, they do offer other choices. Let's take a peek and see how they measure up.

Well that wasn't so bad. Wait until we get to the breakfast sandwiches. You may go into cardiac arrest just reading this. Want to see? Then read more

There is a special place deep in every American's heart for their all time favorite deli sandwich. Whether it's pepper turkey with creamy avocado and crisp bacon or sharp cheddar, sweet mustard and Italian salami, everyone has a best-loved sandwich. More importantly, a particular deli that makes their beloved sandwich with just the right ratio of oil/vinegar to bread and perfectly thin slices of roast beef. My all time favorite deli in the world is called Lucchesi Deli and is located in the town where I was born and raised. Lucchesi's, as locals know it affectionately, is your typical mom-and-pop deli with sandwiches, salads, daily soup, deli meats, bread, and my personal weakness, deviled eggs. The baguettes are made fresh daily, have a soft inside and crisp, crunchy outside. The wide variety of cheeses and meats makes each sandwich an individual masterpiece. Lucchesi's sandwiches pair perfectly with a cherry coke and lightly salted kettle chips. The deli has been voted the best in town more than once in the past few years and the friendly rapid, no fail service combined with delicious sandwiches is what keeps customers like myself coming back. Making a stop for lunch at Lucchesi's brings me back to my roots. I remember when my dad would buy me sandwiches when I was a little girl; in high school we'd sneak out of class a few minutes early for lunch to beat the line at Lucchesi's; when I arrived at the airport from living abroad for two years, my sister had a cooler with a sandwich in her car. To me the sandwiches convey the essence of coming home: there is comfort, nostalgia, and a sense of belonging in each bite. Well Fed About Town asked me to tell them about my preferred deli, and now I'm asking you readers, what's your favorite deli?

Like many a die hard fashionista, The Devil Wears Prada was my favorite movie of 2006. I know it may be a bit loco, but I actually saw it in the theaters twice and received the DVD as a gift from the bro for New Years. My clothes-horse self loved Anne Hathaway's countless (Chanel) outfit changes, while my foodie self loved how her boy toy Adrian Grenier was a wannabe chef. Adrian Grenier excels at making hard-working Anne late night grilled cheese sandwiches. Grilled cheese is number one on my top ten best sandwiches in the world list and I'll have to confess, since seeing the movie I've had a fantasy (or three) about Adrian making me a late night grilled cheese sandwich. In the movie he uses $8 a slice Jarlsberg making it one haute sandwich. For the super simplistic yet super good recipe, read more

Yesterday PartySugar taught you guys all about the joys of a homemade cassoulet. Something tells me, that unless you devoured it all in one sitting (which is quite possible since it's very delicious), you've got some leftovers waiting to be reworked.

At my house, we strangely don't have a microwave (the espresso machine won the battle for the kitchen counter space), so having meals the next day is always a new treat. This time I've actually come up with two ways to make a new tasty dish. To check them out, read more

Today's Special is for all of the vegetarians out there who have been asking YumSugar and I to please feature more meatless recipes. Creamy and rich, this sandwich features Italian flavors (basil, mozzarella, roasted red peppers) and can be made quickly and efficiently. It's the perfect standby meal for one of those rushed nights when you are forced to eat dinner on the go. If you do not have an indoor grill the eggplant can be broiled for the same quick cooking effect. Use the best whole grain bread you can find, preferably from your local bakery, and you're in for a delicious dinner.

Subway has done a good job marketing themselves as a fresh, low-fat alternative to other fast food chains. Turns out, Subway isn't half bad for you! I'm actually impressed.

	If you can stand to be in a sandwich place and not get a sandwich, then definitely go for the: Grilled Chicken and Baby Spinach Salad with olive oil and vinegar because it only has 185 calories, 8 grams of fat, 0 grams of trans fat, 450 mg of sodium and 11 grams of carbs.
	You should probably get the: Turkey Breast 6-inch Sandwich on wheat bread (lettuce, tomatoes, onions, green peppers, pickles and olives) with 280 calories, 4.5 grams of fat, 0 grams of trans fat, 1020 mg of sodium and 46 grams of carbs.

Tuna melts are one of my all time favorite comfort foods. It's like a grilled cheese, there is something about melted cheese and warmed bread that makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. Tuna melts are a great go to meal when you have no time and no fresh food in the fridge. I always have canned tuna, bread, and cheese in my kitchen. Tonight's recipe is a jazzed up version with a Mediterranean twist: garbanzos, capers, and green olives. I've made this open faced sandwich many times and it's absolutely delicious. To make it for dinner, read more

For last night's Sunday Dinner, I taught you all how to make my mom's Beef Stir Fry. If you doubled the batch, or were only cooking for one or two, you probably have some leftovers. You could just heat it back up, and eat it again tonight, but if you did, you would miss out on the main reason I love this dish. You see, this dish makes for the best (and I mean best), sandwiches.

Take a small french roll (or half of a standard french baguette), slice it down the middle and butter the sides.
Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat.
Place bread butter side down until crispy.
Fill with heated up Beef Stir Fry leftovers.
If desired place a few slices of your favorite cheese before serving.

The end result is sort of an Asian inspired Philly cheesesteak.

Unfortunately, we ended up devouring our food last night, and so we didn't actually have any leftovers (which is why there's not a real picture). But it's really straightforward and simple to make, so even without visual cues, you should be fine.

Ps. My mom wanted to make sure that I mentioned the following: If you don't feel like bread, make some spaghetti noodles. Heat the meat back up on the stove, and add the cooked noodles to it. Mix it all together for a delicious stir-fried beef with noodles. I'll vouch for this as well, it's also delicious, but it's not Asian-philly steak sandwich!
