Leftover Turkey Panini: Turkey Cuban Panini

November 26, 2009

I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving! My second of three panini ideas to use up that leftover turkey – Turkey Cuban Panini - was actually inspired by Bobby Flay, my off-and-on chef crush. I had the chance to meet him about seven years ago on a visit to Mesa Grill in New York City. [...]

September 3, 2008

You guys really got me thinking about Reubens. I couldn’t help but notice how many folks cited a Reuben as the best sandwich they ever had in their panini grill giveaway entries. I don’t often think about Reubens – in fact, I’m actually pretty new to them. The Reuben I had last St. Patrick’s Day [...]

Cheese, Please!…Emmental

June 23, 2008

In my recent Panini Happy reader survey, I asked what your favorite sandwich ingredients were. Would you believe how many of you responded, “Cheese, cheese and more cheese!”? Wow! Well, I love cheese too. Although sandwiches don’t have to contain cheese to be deemed “panini”, you’ve probably noticed that pretty much all of mine do. [...]
