The Barry Table

It's about food, sure, but just like Barry tables across Chicago and around the country, this is also a place to share ideas, make plans for family reunions and boast about recent accomplishments, food-related or not.

Sandwich Wars


In light of our busy schedules, Janet and I decided to pass on the macadamia encrusted Mahi Mahi and construct one of our Eggplant Dagwoods. I doubt Mr. Bumstead would make his with Kalamata tampenade or salt from the frigid waters of the Bering Sea, but we're sure he would still enjoy this little piece of heaven crafted from fresh baked Cuban bread. We also threw in some greens from our garden as well as the date breakers on top... garlic stuffed olives. We just hope that the two of us can down this puppy ourselves. Nos Vemos!

Only a true foodie would create and measure such a fine sandwich.

Were the two of you really able to knock off a 20" Dagwood? I predict leftovers for Freddy's breakfast and Janet's lunch.

I'm impressed by the sandwich, of course, and by the measuring tape, but even more I like your language . . . "from the frigid waters" to the "little piece of heaven" to the "date breakers."

Nice.

If you should ever wash out as a doctor (very unlikely, I realize), I might be able to find you some work as a writer. And you're going to have a blast writing those formulaic letters about patients.
