Oh no no no CRG.

That's not a pressed butt sammie.  Hal just went Paducah Kentucky old school Starne's BBQ (complete with their sauce) BBQ pork sandwich.  Place has been in business here for as long as I can remember and I'm 57 years old.  They have done their sandwich that way for as long as I can remember.  You go in, sit down at the counter, order your drink(all soft drinks) and whatever bag of chips you want and how many sandwiches you want.  The sandwiches come out wrapped in wax paper.  Don't ask for a plate and certainly don't ask for a knife or fork.

Way to go Hal!

Heck FL, I made some pressed Cuban sandwiches for ya...
Baked the bread, marinated/roasted the pork loin, and the whole nine yards...   ::)

KY - that's exactly why I bought a commercial sandwich press...
I lived a few blocks from Starne's and grew up on that stuff!

(and it's handy for pressed cubanos!)

CRG - It goes to 500 (maybe 550)
I always set it around 300

Ohhh.. it'll work..
Also, a flat griddle with hot cast iron skillet - or a brick wrapped in foil.

I just eat my BBQ sammies that way ALL the time, so I got real serious about it.
(I'm 4 hours away from Starne's BBQ)

Another day, another thing I need to buy
Soon there will be no room for people in the kitchen as there will be too many toys
And my DBS is outside

Well done, good thing its almost lunch time here and all I have is a stinky egg salad sandwhich

I have to get one of these. I "need" it, not "want" it....   LOL

He's got this thing mounted on a dedicated shelf out in his garage...

He used to have a 'stack' of toys at their old house..   (while they were gutting/renovating their kithen)

Deep fryer on the bottom, pizza oven above that, sandwich press above that, and an range hood/microwave oven hanging from the top of a cabinet.    Doors to hide them all.   It was a nice setup for 'garage cooking'.

The sandwich press is the only thing that made the move to their current place.

Heck... That's all Squirt let me take...

MrsD calls him up, "Pat... sweetie... could you come help Hal sort through all this CRAP while that dumpster is in the driveway?"
I worked six hours just sorting through one box of priceless heirloom keepsakes...
Meanwhile...  He threw out everything else I owned...

We get to the new house, and I'm lookin' for my stuff...
MrsD says, "your stuff is in that little box"...
ALL OF IT???

"Yeah... I think Pat put a sandwich press in there"...
