Is a Calzone a Dumpling? And More Sandwich Hot Takes

Episode Description from the Publisher

We brought the mobile studio out to the Detroit Sandwich Party to talk with you about all things between two slices of bread. In this episode, we tackle the big questions. Matt from Detroit shares his grilled cheese mayo trick and explains why a sandwich needs to be a stable delivery system. Terry stops by to show some love for fried bologna and sweet tea.  Lauren breaks down her favorite New York deli creation and why horseradish is cathartic. Zena makes the case for where hot dogs sit on the food spectrum. Finally, Shelby from Corktown drops a hot take on why calzones, Uncrustables, and Pop-Tarts are dumplings.  Thanks to Carlos Parisi for putting together a wonderful event. I think this may be the beginning of a mini-series as we had so many good takes and only so much time.  Make sure to mark your calendars for Detroit Sandwich Week, between Christmas and New Years.
