So, there’s like some sort of sporting event coming up soon. I did some Googling and it turns out it is called the “Super Bowl.” Huh. Sounds like an excuse to make some fancy nachos to me.
I’m kidding. I know what the Super Bowl is. And I know that nachos must be present. Sometimes sandwiches are invited to the party, as well. These nachos are a reinterpretation of a banh mi, which is a Vietnamese sandwich of grilled meats and pickled vegetables. But, since I have no bread in the house besides 45-calorie sliced bread (Thanks a lot, Sarah Lee, nobody does it like you, you know) and my pantry looks like a mystery basket from Chopped, I decided to do this thing. I pickled vegetables. That’s a phrase I’ve never uttered. I also used my crockpot to make an Asian marinated pork loin. Surely these things belong on waffle fries, sprinkled with cheese.
Yes, it was meant to be.
