Tony Bourdain is a personal hero of mine; he travels the world to eat some of the most delicious and outrageous things and does it with pure wit and a side of cynicism. A recent episode of Bourdain’s No Reservations took him to Chicago where he bites into the Three Little Pigs sandwich at Silver Palm Restaurant. Created by a bartender on a slow night, the sandwich consists of “smoked ham, a breaded pork cutlet, two strips of bacon, and two fried eggs, blanketed in a thick coat of gruyere, all on a brioche bun.” Straight from Bourdain’s mouth: “This is a work of genius, in an evil way…. A two-fisted symphony of pork, cheese, fat, and starch… that sandwich is the greatest sandwich in America. This is the apex of the sandwich-making art… the sandwich that dreams are made of.” Although not the most creative sandwich in the world, I could see where the combination of those ingredients could be delicious and also potentially stop your heart.
