The Windy City Panini
Greetings from Chicago! I am at a training in the northern burbs of Chi-town. There isn't a whole lot I really know about the city other than there is really good food here and people are passionate about what they cook, what they eat & how they make it.
I love to eat panini sandwiches, something about the ooey gooiness of warm deli meat, some sort of sauce and creamy cheese between 2 thick slices of bread & then pressed in either a panini machine, or, on a flat top griddle pressed under a heavy iron skillet. Panini is the style of cooking the sandwich and not the sandwich itself.
Here's to anyone who loves a really, really good sandwich!
Cheers!
