Seitan philly cheesesteak from Benders, from Breadxbread
Breadxbread is the San Francisco blog we’ve been waiting for. Devoted entirely to the topic of sandwiches, Breadxbread takes us on the journey a slice of bread takes to find its perfect counterparts in the chaotic world of ingredients, which include the whole mess of things in the world, like seitan, honey ham, and bacon, before finally meeting its partner, that other slice of bread, in a final embrace of harmony, unity, and tastiness. Everyone has an opinion on where to get the best sandwich in San Francisco, but for the bloggers at Breadxbread, the search for the holy grail of sandwiches is a neverending pursuit. Updating at a frequency that suggests AW and JoJoJoJo subsist entirely on a diet of things in sandwich form, their blog is peppered with photos and reviews of sandwiches, which they either get from various places, mostly concentrated in the Mission and its immediate surrounds, or that they make at home. Breadxbread is singlehandedly responsible for reigniting my interest in Mr. Pickles Sandwich Shop on the corner of 20th and South Van Ness, which I have passed and peeked inside many times but which I’ve never felt motivated to try until now.
