Posted on January 7, 2016 by Michael Procopio

It seems I had missed the part where, by accepting, I had agreed to participate in a Top Chef-style sandwich making throw down with two other bloggers. In front of a panel of judges. Continue reading →

Donna Summer Hot Lunch.

Posted on May 17, 2012 by Michael Procopio

When disco invaded my home in the spring of 1976, it came by virtue of Donna Summer’s voice.

The Martuna: A Sandwich in Every Glass

Posted on July 16, 2009 by Michael Procopio

Coronation Chicken Salad: Fit for a Queen.

Posted on May 1, 2009 by Michael Procopio
