    Please try a horseshoe! It’s a staple of the central Illinois, specifically Springfield area! It’s an open faced sandwich that consists a slice to Texas toast topped with a burger patty and topped with French fries then covered in a cheese sauce. I’m not entirely sure where the naming origin comes from, I had heard that the toast is the horse foot while the burger is the shoe itself and then the fries signify the nails in the horseshoe, but like I said I am unsure if that is the correct origin. Whenever I go back home to central illinois I have to go and get a horseshoe from a local restaurant

    🦀 I have a recipe I’d love your reaction to, Emmy. grew up in Baltimore in the 80’s/90’s and my granny used to make these snacks for us called “Old English Crabbies” on special occasions. Old English is a Kraft brand of spreadable processed cheese that comes in a little glass jar. You basically mix the Old English Cheese with mayo and butter and stir in lump crab meat, then spread it on an English muffin and bake.
    BUT you’ve gotta make it the Baltimore way- fresh crab and plenty of Old Bay. If there isn’t Old Bay, it isn’t worth eating. 🦀
    One special memory I have is that she would always save the little jars and my brother and I would use them as our cups. When my son was born a few years ago, my grandpa brought me a big box full of them and that’s what we used to teach him how to drink from an open cup. ❤

      That’s so cool. I’m from PA & one of the treats my mom would make were pimento sandwiches. We used the Kraft Old English pimento cheese, also in the little glass jars. Mom and I would have a tea party and she’d make little finger sandwiches with that tiny, pumpernickel deli bread. (Looks like a regular loaf, but it miniature sized and a bit more chewy). She’d put on the pimento cheese and a little cream cheese and a thin slice of cucumber and then slice the tiny sandwiches diagonally and serve them up on a pretty, porcelain plate.
      I’m almost 50 and I still do this with my mom on Mother’s Day. Except now I’m the one who makes the food and we usually go to a park or lake and have our tea party. ❤😊

    This reminds me a lot of a sandwich I often had when I went to a part of South Tyrol in Northern Italy. Everywhere it seemed that the go-to sandwich was what was often called the farmer's sandwich: bread with speck ham covered in cheese, and either onions or tomatoes, all toasted together. I also liked adding some ketchup on it since it often came with ketchup and mayonnaise packets on the side. So simple yet surprisingly so good, even as someone who never eats ham! One even came with a slice of bell pepper and half a strawberry on top, so fun.
    The ingredients were far better than this sandwich but the concept is the same. Toasted ham and cheese must be a popular combination!

    If you like this, you should try an open-faced sandwich called Englishman's Lunch.
    At the Omni Hotel in Atlanta, there was a small publike restaurant called Reggie's Pub (this was way back in the late 80s, so I don't know if it's still there). They had this sandwich as their signature dish, and I can understand why.
    ENGLISHMAN'S LUNCH
    1 package English muffins
    Thin sliced roast beef
    1 tomato
    1 onion
    2 slices cheese (American or Cheddar)
    Mushroom gravy
    Prepare the gravy.
    Split and toast a muffin; butter the halves if you wish. Place the halves on a microwave-safe plate.
    Stack both muffin halves with roast beef (a couple of inches high). Place a slice of tomato on each stack. Place an onion slice on both stacks. Place a cheese slice on both stacks.
    Microwave the sandwich for 60 to 90 seconds (long enough for the cheese to melt down all over everything).
    Smother both stacks with gravy.
    Enjoy.
    Easy, simple, and oh so tasty.

    Interesting sandwich. I've heard of the cheese but never seen it. Might be good as an emulsifier for making cheese sauces if you're concerned with breakage.
    Also, if you're interested in hyper regional sandwiches, we have one in my area called a muffaletta. It's famous, but rarely found too far outside of the New Orleans area. It has a distinctive sesame seed bun, a stack of Italian meats and cheeses, and a healthy portion of olive salad. Definitely a filling sandwich, and a very good one if I do say so.

That was the biggest sandwich I’d ever seen in my life. Needless to say, we shared one between the three of us and went back once more to have another before going back home. Soooooo tasty!!! Now I make them myself …including olive salad that I order online from LA.

    I like making tuna melts in a similar style. I put the tuna on bread, and then top it with Cooper sharp American cheese. I rub the butter into the pan before I heat it, so not to use too much butter and and it yields a crispy, drier sandwich where the butter isn't overpowering. I put the lid on the fry pan and cook low. Everything heats slowly, so that by time the cheese fully melts the tuna is warm too. The tuna tastes a little sweet from the slow cook and it's a very satisfying sandwich.
    I make a lot of soups during the winter, so we're very happy with this when we're snowed in. Netflix and chill.

The authentic version has a yeasted pastry at the bottom to offset the sweet topping. The modern version is all sweetness as it has a yellow cake mix base. I am older, so the authentic version is what I grew up with and prefer.

    St. Louisan here. Ruma’s Deli is the home of the Gerber. Emmy, will you be doing St. Paul sandwiches next and then T-ravs? You may need to chase your molten Provel with a sip from a frozen fish bowl of one of our many fine local beers.
    Ironically, St. Louis Public Radio just published a story on St. Louis style pizza that includes the history of Provel cheese. “Tony Costa, owner of Costa’s Grocery in the Hill in St. Louis, reportedly worked with J.S. Hoffman Co., a Chicago importer of meats and cheeses, to create an entirely new cheese that would maintain a melted, creamy texture even when it cooled.” Provel is made of three real cheeses: provolone, Swiss, and white cheddar. Sodium citrate makes it melty and non-stretchy, which is desirable when you slice your pizza into squares.
    Homemade Provel by Hughdaddy on Reddit
    500 g provolone
    250 g Swiss
    250 g white cheddar
    300 g water
    36 g sodium citrate
    1/2 tsp liquid smoke (ended up being too much)
    Shred the cheese.
    Mix the water, sodium citrate, and liquid smoke over medium heat until bubbling.
    Add the shredded cheese a handful at a time, mixing until melted before adding more.
    Mix like the dickens when you've added the last bit of cheese. Don't use a blender like me. This cheese is too thick.
    Pour into a container to set up.

      @@emmymade I developed my own thin crust pizza recipe after last week’s video, and I intend to try this Provel recipe after I find my sodium citrate. I know I have some…somewhere. Here is my pizza crust recipe.
      Makes one 12” pizza.
      Maud’s St. Louis Style Pizza
      Preheat oven to 525°F.
      Mix dry ingredients and form a well in the center:
      1 cup (120 grams) AP flour
      1/4 tsp. yeast
      1/4 tsp. sugar
      1/4 tsp. baking powder
      1/4 tsp. salt
      Stir in wet ingredients to form a soft ball of dough:
      3/8 cup (88 ml or grams) water
      1 Tb. olive oil
      Lightly oil your bench, turn out the dough, knead 10 times, form into thick square, rectangle, or disk, cover with inverted bowl, and allow to rest ten minutes or until the oven is finished heating up.
      Oil your sheet or pizza pan, then press the dough out to make a square, rectangle or 12” circle. The crust will be uniformly thin…between 1/16” and 1/8” thick.
      Top the crust in thin layers, all the way to the edges. Pro tip: slice toppings thin.
      Bake for 15 or so minutes, until the edges are golden brown. The crust will only be 1/8” thick. If you double the baking powder to 1/2 tsp, the crust will be 1/4” thick, which makes it a little more like a hand-tossed if you prefer a more bready crust.
      Slice into squares and enjoy. The edges may be a little bubbly, and should have an audible crunch. The center will be cooked through, golden on the bottom, and more tender than crisp. The yeast will mask the flavor of the baking powder, but the baking powder will be responsible for leavening.
      If you try it, please let me know what you think!

    If you want to make something hyper regional, make hot slaw from Cincinnati or Johnny in the bag (blood sausage). Hot slaw is a literal traditional slaw served traditionally room temperature (many places serve cold now) with a bacon vinaigrette topped with you guessed it bacon. I can think of only a handful of places that still serve these items. Johnny in the bag I never tried, but want too. Only a few butchers still sell it. They both are dying like ultra fast. The dressing for the slaw is bacon fat, sugar (its sweet, sour, and salty in taste), salt, vinegar, and year some water. I have only seen 1 recipe online and its not great.
