Huh? Never heard of it? Where do you get one? And
*whY* do you get one. ;-) I like chopped liver but
I don't think I want it in a sandwich.

They did bbq in Texas.

and the po' boy.

They did the po' boy.

And just for the record, it's "Sandwiches That You Will Like".

Here is the web site - it shows all the sandwiches
they covered.

As a Pittsburgher I'm surprised that they didn't do
the "chipped ham bbq". I guess this was about sandwiches
the you buy in shops vs. the ones you make at home. There
are a few placed where you can get a chipped ham bbq in
a restaurant but for the most part they are what people
make at home - at least in my experience.

The Pittsburgh sandwich they featured was the Isaly's
"chipped ham slammer" which I've never even heard of
much less eaten. The chipped ham bbq is much more famous.
