Ep 19. Comfort Food Classics

In Sandwich King season 2 episode 19, entitled "Comfort Food Classics," host Jeff Mauro takes viewers on a journey through some of his favorite comfort food dishes, all transformed into delicious and creative sandwich creations. From classic mac and cheese to meatloaf, Mauro brings his signature inventive touch to each and every recipe.

Mauro begins the episode with a classic comfort food staple: grilled cheese. But instead of a traditional version, he prepares a decadent lobster grilled cheese. He starts by cooking the lobster in a rich and buttery sauce before layering it with cheddar cheese and garlic butter on sourdough bread. The result is a sandwich that's equal parts indulgent and satisfying.

Next up is a sandwich that combines two comfort food favorites: meatloaf and mashed potatoes. Mauro creates a meatloaf patty, which he then tops with mashed potatoes and caramelized onions. He finishes the sandwich off with a drizzle of gravy and serves it up on toasted brioche buns. The end result is a sandwich that's hearty and filling, perfect for a cozy night in.

For his next trick, Mauro deconstructs another classic comfort food dish: chicken pot pie. He starts by making individual pot pies, but instead of baking them, he uses the filling to create a sandwich. He layers shredded chicken, carrots, peas, and a creamy sauce between two slices of toasted bread. The sandwich is then topped off with a crispy puff pastry for an extra crunch.

Finally, Mauro ends the episode with a dessert-inspired sandwich: the s'mores grilled cheese. He starts by layering chocolate and marshmallow fluff between two slices of graham cracker bread. He then grills the sandwich up until the chocolate is gooey and melty. The result is a sandwich that's sweet, decadent, and perfect for anyone with a sweet tooth.

Throughout the episode, Mauro shares tips and tricks for creating his signature comfort food-inspired sandwiches. Whether you're a fan of classic dishes or love to experiment with unexpected flavor combinations, there's something for everyone in this episode of Sandwich King. So, it can be a treat for foodies who love to explore new dishes and sandwich ideas.
