Uncorked: Sandwiches - August 20, 2020

Join Scott and Bobby as they talked about some good old fashioned summer sandwiches.

Hey everybody, we're back here at restaurant tyler and today we're talking about some good old fashioned summer sandwiches.

Some i've never heard of before.

And i've always claimed to be from the south.

But bobby is teaching me a whole lot about some of these sandwiches.

So we're going to begin today.

I am super excited.

So these are all what we consider the iconic sandwiches of the south.

And when i was researching a lot of these, the popularity on all of these sandwiches happened during the great depression.

Wow.

So we have the fried bologna sandwich.

They actually consider that the poor man steak.

So um, bologna is actually a play or off of mortadella that comes out of italy.

And so i've picked an italian wine and this is a katoki early lambrusco de sabara it's gonna be a sparkling and it's really going to go with all the stuff that's going on in there you've got the dukes mayo, because if you're from the south dukes, is it and you've got some cheese so it's going to cut through all of that.

Probably this was like a good picnic.

Yeah, a good picnic.

Lunch brunch type thing next we have the caviar of the south.

Okay.

Pimento and cheese.

This one's y'all.

I'm so excited for this, which is actually the pimento actually used to come from spain.

And the reason it became so popular in the south, even though it originally originated in new york is because in griffin, georgia, they started doing domestic pimentos.

So this is actually the sandwich served at the masters golf tournament in augusta, georgia every year and we are repairing this with the khloe de bourgh demi set blu ray tsutsumi chenin blanc from france.

We're also going to pair this with the last i mean the sandwich after this, but with this one because it does have jalapenos in it.

So that bit of spice.

This is gonna play really nicely and toned down the jalapenos that are in it.

Yeah, it definitely toned down the jalapeno in there.

Alright, so this next i went to bobby i've been a little nervous about since she told me we were going to do this one but elvis actually used to eat the yeah, and i know a lot of people in mississippi they're big fans of elvis since he went to school from in lee county up in that area.

So bobby, tell us what the sandwich is.

This is the banana sandwich and there are so many variations of the classic southern banana sandwich.

This one is banana and mayo, which actually if you talk to dukes, you just need to spread mayonnaise on both sides very lightly.

You don't want that to overpower the banana flavor.

But then you also have elvis who would do banana a mayonnaise and peanut butter and then sometimes called bacon on it, or the other classic banana sandwich in the south is just peanut butter and mayonnaise.

And this is because when you were in the great depression, you had things at the grocery store that were really cheap bread, mayo, so they would find any combination to get them through everything which makes sense as to why you took chatter, and pimentos mayo and flopped on bread and the reason you took bologna which was cheap and mayo and slapped it on bread, and the same with our last sandwich, which is going to be the tomato.

Okay, i need you to take a bite of this banana one with me.

Absolutely.

This is my favorite.

So it's like nostalgic with childhood.

Here we go.

Actually not that bad.

I'm surprised.

Okay.

And what is this one pair so well with this, the same wine as the mayo is salty.

So that sweet and salty effect is kind of what i was going for.

Okay, i'm shocked.

I'm shocked.

Okay, last but not least is the tomato and mayo sandwich.

We had to end with this one because everybody in the in the south knows what the tomato sandwiches.

You have to eat it over the sink so it's gonna drip everywhere.

And we paired it with the rose on this one.

All right, and we all love good rose.

Oh, yeah.

Summertime.

This is the epitome of summer.

Perfect summer sandwich.

And sometimes a little bit here in the south as well.

Oh, everywhere, really?

So what's really fun is all these wines compared with all these sandwiches?

Yeah, they're all great.

All right.

If you want one of these southern classics, you can make them at home pretty easily yourself.
