AlwaysInvestigating: Nine More Great Sandwiches
Arthur Bovino — June 02, 2010
Leonardo Scarpone’s Italian ‘Dagwood’ at Sanpanino.
Love the Robs, and we always look forward to New York Magazine’s epic articles and slideshows listing the City’s bests. But what’s with the numerical widows? This year’s fantastic sandwich list, “Dagwood, Eat Your Heart Out,” appears in print with 51— the online version, 101. And last year’s Most Notable Burgers numbered 82. Don’t our friends at the magazine like round numbers?
A bunch of our favorites showed up, but the heart-sinking sadness we experienced when some didn’t make the list combined with our hatred of widows, compelled us to suggest the addition of another nine sandwiches (in no particular order) to put the list out here on the interwebs at 110. Adhering to the non-burger rules that seem to have been applied to this round-up, we’ve omitted these.
As for the article title, Sanpanino’s Italian Dagwood, while commissioned, could have made the list too.

AlwaysInvestigating: Sandwich Holy War at Shopsin’s
Arthur Bovino — November 09, 2009
The following food adventure is told in the style of A Prairie Home Companion’s Guy Noir:
Interior of Shopsin’s General Store, in the Essex Street Market [www.gracenotesnyc.com, image].
CLICK FOR VOICEOVER “A top secret lunch in a city that knows how to keep recipes secret, but on the fourth floor of AlwaysHungryNY.com HQ in the Flatiron District, one man tries to find the answers to food’s persistent questions. Fry Noir, Private Eye.”
I was eating cold Philippe Express when she entered the office, my colleague, The Gluttoness, a food reporter known for getting a scoop. She’d come from the side of town where when it rains hipsters don’t get wet, and when they do they look good. She was writing a story about two Shopsin’s sandwiches on the verge of holy war in the Middle Feast — the Jewboy and Jihadboy — which one was better? But there was a hitch: Kenny Shopsin.
