The Diabolical Jack's Sandwich


For years the Jack's pizza sandwich was a figment of my imagination. A fantastic tale of living dangerously, taunting diabetes and heart failure at every turn. I would lie to friends and say that the gastronomical behemoth was a part of my regular diet, and a normal thing to boot. The truth was I had never had two Jack's pizza's cooked on top of each-other with Ranch dressing in the middle, I was a fraud.

That was until Saturday night when young Jake Lancaster came skipping out of Cub foods with 4 Jack's supremes and a bag of Funyons. He didn't state his devilish intentions, and instead just grinned maniacally.

So let it be known, the mythological beast known as the Jack's sandwich has, in fact, been conquered by the Superbeasts.

I won't believe you until I see pictures.

Or the cross-section of your arteries.

Casey Brewer said...

I took a picture with my cell phone, but can't figure out how to get it on my computer. There is proof!

R. Falch said...

If your phone has bluetooth and your fancy Mac laptop also does, you can send it to your computer.

Or you can send it to my phone via textmessage, but I'll still deny (publicly) that I actually saw anything.

I can't tell if the feeling I'm having after reading this is horror or hunger.

R. Falch said...

It's okay to feel frightened minx.

Casey Brewer said...

enjoy!

I think it's one of those things about which you say, "it tastes better than it looks."

Casey Brewer said...

This was the day after Burk. After sitting in the fridge over night. Not that it really ever looked delicious to begin with, but keep that in mind.

kelly minx riordan said...

Falch,

After further consideration, the feeling I was feeling was definitely hunger.

I did this once with Matt Cass:

two large Jack's, ranch, sandwiched, cut in half. We each ate the whole thing. This was 6 and one half years ago. I just started eating again last summer.

Also, the saran wrap suggests that you...saved..some?

Tell me true.

Casey Brewer said...

Seriously? I thought the Jack's Sandwich was my invention.

"No ideas original, there's nothing under the sun, it's not what you do, it's how it's done" - NAS

To be honest, we used Blue Cheese dressing and Sriracha for the "filling". The Brew doesn't buy Ranch. The original recipe that came to me in a dream used Ranch though.

Yeah, I saved it, and reheated it yesterday. Very bad mistake. My colon doesn't appreciate the abuse.

Thats disgusting Brew. I mean, thats seriously fucking gross. You should be ashamed. OUTRAGE! OUTRAGE!

On an unrelated note, would you suggest flipping the pizza to attain maximum crust crispyness? Or do both crusts crisp up on their own? I'd be delighted to hear any other filling suggestions as well.

Casey Brewer said...

Chris, I thought the Jack's cooked thoroughly on both sides, but seriously if it didn't, what's wrong with a little undercooked sausage?

Oh yeah.

austin said...

We made a pizza sandwich once with just two pizzas. I love the idea of adding a filling. Great Job!

theryanburk said...

Maybe we should parlay all the enthusiasm for this post into a blog dedicated to the culinary arts. Falch, you can only post about tofu and soy milk.

R. Falch said...

What about rice milk?

theryanburk said...

Nope. Only tofu and soy milk.

This is Jake--I can never remember my password for this thing. Anyway, in retrospect, I think we should have partially cooked both pizzas and taken them out of the oven and thrown in a brick of Philadelphia cream cheese between them, thrown them back in the oven for a few minutes, feast, and then have a proper heart attack.

Casey Brewer said...

The Jack's Sandwich is about to take over the ad world. I'm glad I was around to witness and partake in the maiden feast.

Guess who just ate leftover JS for lunch today?

Excuse me, I have to use the facilities. Carry on.

Hmmm, what to read, what to read?

If you are to try the JS with a cream cheese filling, I would recommend sealing the edges in some way. Now this might create more of a calzone, which means we are now looking at the first variation of the JS that I like to call the JC.

My fear is that the cream cheese would runeth over and leave you feeling sad, alone and of course hungry. I recommendation a bag of pre-shredded Digiorno Italian blend.

We broke the 20 comment cherry on this one kids. Kudos.

Fuck, who needs ads. We should become cable TV chefs.

We'll call the show Abdominal Fortitude.

kelly minx riordan said...

Jesus, Casey, you're still eating leftovers?

Also...I'm wondering what the Funyons were for. Garnish or side dish?

Casey Brewer said...

Yeah, the uncooked sausage tastes better when a little aged.

Jake eats Funyons. I can't figure out why.

I eat Funyuns because I'm an American and it is my right. End of story.

Unknown said...

Oh my effen god this is the funniest thing I've read all week!

R. Falch said...

JAKE IS A GODDAMN AMERICAN AND AMERICANS EAT FUNYONS.

Luckily, I'm Canadian.
