I follow a fairly popular Instagram account ran by a man named Barry who goes through cookbooks and tries, wait for it, various sandwich recipes from throughout history. It is through Barry that I discovered the "peanut butter and nutritional yeast sandwich"- a hearty, nutrient-dense meal that has provided me with enough bulk to make it through these cold Ridgewood nights... He frequently "plusses up" the recipes with an ingredient of his own choosing. Today's sandwich was "The Savory Sandwich" from Oscar at The Waldorf (1896).
On the topic of sandwiches, I'd like to share my twist on the classic pb&j, which is to add slices of CELERY (not the long way; little 'u's). It adds a crispy crunch AND fiber AND also makes the sandwich a little taller so it feels more real. It's like ants on a log (highkey underrated snack) that people who don't like raisins can enjoy as well.
When I moved to New York the first time, I worked at a now-defunct music venue near Pumps and would go to the combination BP/Dunkin where I survived off of their incredibly cheap hashbrowns and iced coffee for an extended period. This time around, I have eaten them maybe 5 times a week, for...well, similar reasons. If anyone is not aware, the Dunkin App will reward you with free hashbrowns if you buy, like, 2 things. If you've made it all the way to the end of this rambling ode to the potato coin I highly recommend downloading the Dunkin App and raking in the savings
