A Sandwich is More Than a Hero...

 One time I won a cooking contest with a sandwich. Suzi Q put it on, the contest, not the sandwich at a party to celebrate the Texas Sesquicentennial. I don't have a recipe for exactly what I did and if I had one I probably would have lost it because I recall getting drunk as Davy Crockett that day. Maybe that was the secret to the success but lots of drunk guys can fry up a pile of white bass fillets, place them on couple of loaves of French bread adding sweet pickles, red onion, mayo and call it a sandwich but the judges sure liked it. If I had to duplicate that concoction today I would not get drunk and I'd use Wow Wee Sauce instead of mayo. The prize for the winner was a cook book of recipes by famous Texans and I do occasionally consult it.  

On a recent trip to Chicago we visited the Goodman Theater to see the play "Clyde's" It's about a kitchen crew at a truck stop creating the perfect sandwich. It's a play that had a Broadway run and watching it we find that "a hero is more than a sandwich."

Maybe sometime, if I haven't already I'll write about the time G.W. made Mexicali White Bass but that's a story that might require a prequal, a sequel and handsome leading men to play all the actors.
