Sandwich Monday

  • For this week's Sandwich Monday, we try a new cooking gadget: the Egg Rollie. It's basically a vertical grill that cooks your eggs in tube form.
  • For this week's Sandwich Monday, we try Pizza Hut's latest attempt to fill us with cheese. It's the Crazy Cheese Crust Pizza, and it's crazy, all right. Crazy like an overweight fox.
  • For this week's Sandwich Monday, we try a marvel of snack engineering: deep-fried chili balls. Finally, you can take chili on the go, as if you're going anywhere.
  • For this week's Sandwich Monday, we sample the McCamembert. It's what you get when you're a French person who walks into a McDonald's, which is weird, because we figured what you'd get is deported.
  • For this week's Sandwich Monday, we try a classic of hand-held eating: the meatloaf sandwich. It's when the bread loaf and the meat loaf finally come together in a sort of Loafapalooza.
  • A company called Powerful Yogurt is now selling what it calls "the first yogurt in the U.S. designed for a man's health and nutrition needs." The Sandwich Monday gang gives it a very manly taste test.
  • This week, New York City's so-called soda ban was supposed to begin: You wouldn't be able to find a sugary drink over 16 ounces anywhere. But a judge invalidated the ban before it took effect, and to celebrate, The Sandwich Monday guys have created a new drink: The Bloomberg.
  • For this week's Sandwich Monday, we try Taco Bell's new Cool Ranch Doritos Locos Taco. It's everything you love about Cool Ranch Doritos and everything you love about Taco Bell and everything you hate about yourself!
  • For this week's Sandwich Monday, we try chicken and waffles, in sandwich form. The Chicago restaurant Bel 50 uses waffles for all of its sandwiches, and we don't miss the bread at all.
  • For this week's Sandwich Monday, we try McDonald's new "Fish McBites." They're basically a seafood version of their Chicken McNuggets. Or as McDonald's calls it, "tender pieces of poppable white, flaky Alaskan Pollock."
