My version of the Chicago Lent special classic sandwich.

Mauro Provisions Giardiniera used in three ways to create a perfectly balanced sandwich.

This breakfast patty melt recipe is a baddie!

My ode to Chicago’s Taylor Street and LIttle Italy neighborhood. This sandwich features thinly sliced mortadella, a spicy Calabrian chili ricotta spread, bright and bitter arugula, on a freshly baked olive, rosemary, and preserved lemon focaccia

Two falafel patties, middle eastern special sauce, lettuce, cheese, shoor pickles, sumac pickled onions on a sesame seed bun.

Juicy meatballs, melty cheese, and a bright, herby, salsa verde to balance it all out. THIS is the perfect meatball hoagie.

The Chicago Hot Chicken is a fried buttermilk brined chicken thigh that’s coated in a JP Graziano hot giardiniera seasoning oil, similar to the method of a Nashville hot, but with a Chi Town spin. It’s topped with Chicago-style giardiniera pimento Bif cheese, Zabs hot honey, pickles, cole slaw, and garlic mayo on a toasted seeded brioche bun.

Tinned fish is having a moment and I'm here for it. I use beautiful Matiz Foods tinned sardines and build a sandwich with cultured butter, piparras pepper aioli, fried castelvetrano olives, smoked pickled shallots, roasted tomatoes, and baby arugula on a fresh baguette.

Inspired by Jimmy Butler and the Miami Heat's improbable run to the NBA Finals, this spicy take on a classic Cubano features smoked spicy mojo pork shoulder, honey ham, swiss, habanero jack, spicy dill pickles, and jalapeno mustard. It's toasted in butter and pressed to give it that textbook melt and crunch with an added spicy kick.

This week I'm back partnering with my pals at Chicago Game and Gourmet to feature their gyros inspired lamb and beef sausage with my latest sandwich creation, “The Giannis”.

The sandwich fuses cajun cooking with Humboldt Park's Puerto Rican Community to make one tasty sandwich. Fried plantains are topped with seared Crescent City Foods alligator and pork sausage, American cheese, cajun garlic mayo, lettuce, and tomato.

The Middle East meets Texas BBQ with this shawarma spiced brisket sandwich. It’s smoked for 16 hours and topped with a homemade garlicky toum, shoor pickles, pickled turnips, and a Middle Eastern red hot pepper sauce called shatta— wrapped in a large pita and crisped up on a griddle.

This breakfast sandwich starts with kimchi soft scrambled eggs and is paired with smoky crispy bacon, American cheese, spicy gochujang mayo, and tons of thin ribbons of scallions, on a homemade tuxedo sesame seed milk bread bun.

Inspired by Sydney's potato chip French omelette and fresh squeezed orange & beet juice in season 2 of FX's The Bear the "The Sydney" is a classic three egg French omelette filled with garlic and herb Boursin cheese served on a crusty baguette topped with chive aioli, roasted beet and orange marmalade, and of course sour cream and onion ruffled potato chips.

A variation on the Chicago Italian beef, the Carushow is a smoked Italian beef barbacoa torta with hot giardiniera salsa, charred sweet peppers, cotija cheese, onions, and cilantro. Of course, you have au jus on the side for dipping.
