Katsu Sando #homecooking

Had a delicious egg salad sandwich at Tous Les Jours Glenview yesterday, which got me thinking about a Tonkatsu sandwich, aka Katsu Sando, so I made one. #homecooking

Tous le Jours milk bread makes terrific french toast!

You know that sandwich looks awesome (not that I'm surprised).

Gary,

I love it when you post on something I have never heard of and I need to go bumping around the web to find out about it. I gather that the biggest difference in various recipes is the sauce.

Seems to me its more about the bread, fluffy soft crust-off white bread, and construction of the sandwich. Many of the Sando type sandwiches are almost art in the way they are put together and the ingredient combinations, of which I have only scratched the surface, veer into directions not typically found here, whipped cream and fruit for example.

Either way, its fun, and who doesn't like sandwiches.

Speaking of sandwiches, fun and obsession, the Sandwich Tribunal is loads of fun. One of the principal participants is LTHer JimTheBeerGuy.

Hi Gary! Thanks for thinking of me. Funny you should mention the Japanese furutsu sando, I did a brief write-up of them a while back, as well as katsu sando.





My pork chops may have been just a bit on the thick side for this sandwich.

I still have a bottle of Bulldog brand tonkatsu sauce in my fridge. It makes an excellent condiment for a breakfast sandwich I think, sort of like HP sauce.

Recently visited a friend of mine in London who lived very close to Brick Lane Beigel Bake. Let's just say I visited a few times . . . although worth noting that their beigels are fluffier/softer than what we know as great bagels - not a criticism.

Inspired by this thread (which I read just before a business trip to London this week), had a small window in my schedule and just stopped in for a late lunch. Outstanding.
