starting off the new year with a bang

i've been working a lot the past couple of weeks, and from being active i feel as though i've lost some weight. i don't believe a person should come out of the holiday season thinner than he went in so i'm gonna make one of the most glutenous and amazing sandwiches ever, the brazilian sandwich. there are many forms of this sandwich, but generally it's a burger, an egg, corn, and some pork products.


for the occasion i decided to make a Portuguese style roll. http://www.sacramentophcs.com/recipes.htm we buy these all the time for sandwiches so i wanted to try a homemade version. they're perfect sandwich bread.

the main focus of the sandwich is the burger, i made a thinner burger than usual and topped it with american cheese.

next up is the pork products. i always use chorizo so i decided not to this time. i had bacon, mortadella, and hot ham in the fridge.


gotta fry off the deli meats to add some flavor.

the beginning of construction. that's a burger topped with ketchup, bacon, and corn with mayo on the opposite bun; mayo placement is more important than you may think

next i fry an egg, with the yolk broken, and top it with the deli meats.

on top of the meats is a tomato slice, then lettuce, and on top of the lettuce hot sauce. this is where mayo placement comes into play; something about the lettuce, then hot sauce, then mayo combo makes a huge difference in the deliciousity of the sandwich.

here's the final product, a delicious abomination that'll probably get me sent to hell but goddamn is this sandwich worth burning for.
