Why?
I really really like sandwiches. Throw anything between two slices of bread, inside a pita, or hell, even wrap it up, and it changes. Sometimes it changes for the better, but other times, the result fails. Meatball sub? Yum. Spaghetti pita? No thanks.
I hereby declare every upcoming Friday (for a while at least), National Aaron Sandwich Day. I will try a new sandwich and write about it--its construction, ingredients, cultural references, and how it makes me feel as a human being. This will be be my quest for the Perfect Sandwich, a sandwich to end all sandwiches, or the Holy Foil-wrapped Grail of life.
I will try to answer any questions we may have as a people about the sandwich, and dispell any rumors. Maybe I'll have a sandwich for breakfast, maybe for dinner. It doesn't have to be lunch. Do you see the kind of amazing intellectual opportunities this study will give us?
Right now, my research will be executed in New York City, so I apologize for calling subs "Heroes." Don't worry though, I will make sure to stand in line, not on line while waiting for my weekly delight.
In a few months time, I will expand my research to outside of the New York City area to the San Francisco Bay Area, then this fall, I will be going to Europe for the sole purpose of sandwich-hunting.
My White Whale Sandwich (ew) is out there somewhere. I will find it.
