Where's My Sammich?

~*~

(via Stately Sandwiches)
I think I should be a food blogger. All that I need is a bunch of recipes, a decent camera, and a blog with a catchy name, right? I mean, that's all The Pioneer Woman started with, right??

Or Julie Powell? She made that formula work too. She cooked every recipe in Mastering the Art of French Cooking (1961, Julia Child) in a year, took pictures and and blogged about it, and she wound up with a book deal and a movie starring Meryl Streep and Amy Adams.


Now, Chicago design student/artist Kelly Pratt is at it. She has set out to design a sandwich for each of the U.S. states.

From Pratt's blog:
"I've set out to make the sandwich for each of the 50 states as a fun way to work on my photography and design skills. It will be quite a delicious journey across the US. Before I make each sandwich I do research on the Internet, call local sandwich shops, ask foodies on twitter and check out a few books to be sure I do my best to properly represent a state."
So far she has hooked up California, Connecticut, Illinois, Kentucky, Louisiana, Massachusetts (Are you people crazy? You actually put marshmallow fluff on a sammich?? *shudders*), Minnesota, New York, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Texas, and Virginia.

Hmmmm ...

Since I can't seem to write a blog that anyone would ever find entertaining (outside of in an "I can't take my eyes off the train wreck" way), maybe I should start up a sammich shop that serves nothing but Pratt's Stately Sandwiches.

If it fails, I can call Robert Irvine and become famous on Restaurant Impossible.

I don't see how this could go wrong!

How 'bout an alcoholic drink for every state? And then, you could create one for each country on Earth? It could work.

Jay (I'm With Stupid), Oh YES! And if the blog doesn't catch anyone's attention, I can star on "Intervention"! I think that would be far more fun than food!

'I think I should be a food blogger.'

Only if you send us a sample by UPS everyday.

Mike, Oh! I could do cookies! Those would mail well!

christo AKA doggybloggy, I think being a successful food blogger is would be about as easy as becoming a successful mommy blogger ... and we know how likely that is!

Mike, bait the hook, throw out the line, and reel 'em in! *snicker*

so then stick with the train wreck concept - it suits you!
