GRILLED TRIPLE-DECKER HOT DOG SANDWICH

Steps:

• Heat grill to 450 degrees F.
• Grill the hot dogs until nice and charred on both sides, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Butter the cut sides of the hoagie roll halves and grill, cut side-down, until charred, 1 to 2 minutes.
• Using a skewer or the tip of a small paring knife, poke about 10 holes in the bottom of a TK pan. Spray the entire pan with nonstick cooking spray (this is an important step). Now, layer in this order: one-third each of the charred hot dogs, Cheddar, provolone and salami. Repeat the layers 2 more times, making sure to finish with a layer of salami. Make sure that every layer is a snug fit, like you would a lasagna.
• Put the pan on the grill and close the lid. Grill until the cheese has melted, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from the grill and let rest for about 5 minutes. Run a paring knife around the edge of the pan to loosen the loaf. Turn the pan out onto a cutting board, unveiling the hot dog loaf. Slice the loaf crosswise into 6 pieces, just as you would a meatloaf. To build your sandwich: start with your hot dog loaf on the bottom bun, then top with mustard, lettuce, tomato and a sprinkling of celery salt. Finish with the top bun.

ITALIAN CLUB FINGER SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Trim all crusts from bread. Spread 4 slices with herb soft cheese. Top each cheese covered slice with 2 slices each of prosciutto, 3 leaves of arugula, thinly sliced tomatoes seasoned with a pinch of salt. Place a completed layer a top another, making 2 stacks each 2 layers high. Set the final trimmed bread slices in place, making 2 triple-decker sandwiches. Thinly slice and salt the radishes. Pierce a couple of thin slices of radish on each toothpick as you place 4 toothpicks in each sandwich. Cut each sandwich into 4 equal parts, cutting the sandwich across evenly on each side. The yield will be 8 triple-decker, square-shaped, "club" finger sandwiches, 2 per portion.

PHILLY CHEESESTEAK SANDWICH WITH GARLIC MAYO

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise and minced garlic. Cover, and refrigerate. Preheat oven to 500 degrees F (260 degrees C).
• Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Saute beef until lightly browned. Stir in green pepper and onion, and season with salt and pepper. Saute until vegetables are tender, and remove from heat.
• Spread each bun generously with garlic mayonnaise. Divide beef mixture into the buns. Top with shredded cheese, and sprinkle with oregano. Place sandwiches on a baking pan.
• Heat sandwiches in preheated oven, until cheese is melted or slightly browned.

TRIPLE DECKER GRILLED CHEESE

Steps:

• Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Butter two pieces of bread on one side, and place next to each other in the skillet. These are the foundation slices for two sandwiches. Place a slice of cheddar on each piece of bread in the skillet, and arrange tomato slices in a single layer on each. Butter two more slices of bread, and place them butter side up over the tomato slices. When bottom of each sandwich is golden brown, use a spatula to carefully turn each sandwich. Now place a slice of provolone on top of each sandwich, and 1-2 slices of bacon. Top with the final slice of provolone. Butter two additional slices of bread and place them, butter side up, on top of each sandwich. Again, when the bottom of each sandwich is golden brown, use a spatula to carefully turn each sandwich. You may need your fingers to keep the sandwich intact while turning. Now place a slice of swiss on each sandwich, then a layer of bacon, then the final layer of swiss. Butter the final two slices of bread and place them, butter side up, on top of each sandwich. When the bottom is golden brown, use a spatula to carefully turn each sandwich. You will almost certainly need to use your fingers to keep the sandwich intact while turning. Cook until golden brown. Remove sandwiches to a cutting board, and cut on the diagonal to create thick, layered triangle slices, and serve. Variation: Sprinkle Italian Seasoning on the butter sides before frying, for added flavor and great aroma. Dill pickles and tomato soup are great alongside this beauty.
