New Pop-up Sandwich Sandwich Ready for Its March Debut | Eater Seattle

"Launching March 15 as a pop-up with preorders currently live, Sandwich Sandwich is a lunch-focused project from Kayla von Michalofski and Spencer Kuhlman that grew out of family meals they made for Salare staff in summer 2020 and Instagram-documented sandwich experiments; originally conceived as a potential food truck, the short menu includes a bacon-wrapped jalapeno popper grilled cheese described by von Michalofski as “fair food on steroids,” a banh mi twist featuring nem chua (Vietnamese fermented pork), potatoes tossed with dehydrated kimchi and Green Goblin sauce, and Stroopwafel filled with hot honey caramel as a nod to von Michalofski’s Dutch family roots. The chefs hope to keep slinging sandwiches at other pop-ups, build a following before moving to a mobile operation (they’ve already received offers from other chef friends to host), and view the project as a playful way to create during a challenging time: "This started as something fun to keep our minds off of all the bad happening — it just blossomed into something more." - Gabe Guarente
