My mother always said that a good sandwich should be like a scintillating conversation: packed with tasty morsels that constantly surprise you. In the same way that a skilled raconteur keeps you on your toes, the next bite of a great sandwich should always be somewhat unexpected. Is that a touch of scallion, crème fraîche and Kewpie mayo in the egg salad (above)? Each bite is a little different depending on how the ingredients fall when you bite in. So maybe start soaking your red beans tonight?
