Tyler Kord

From the podcast I listened to, I decided to look further in Tyler Kord and his book. The chef of a wild and wildly popular group of sandwich shops takes you inside his wonderfully off-kilter mind: a place where bread, condiments, vegetables, and meats mingle in delicious, unexpected recipes and where his raves, rants, jokes, and stories run free. 

Tyler Kord is chef-owner of the expanding duchy of the lauded No. 7 restaurant and four No. 7 Sub shops in New York. He is also a terrifically neurotic man who directs his energy into writing fall-down-funny stories and rants about sandwich philosophy, love, self-loathing, Lil Wayne, Tom Cruise, and the life of a chef. 

Most of these stories also happen to be truly excellent recipes in this convention-breaking cookbook. Come for the laughs, stay for the roast beef sub with fried shallots and smoked French dressing.

I then found an article written by himself that related back to the podcast I had listened to where he is defending the 'soggy' sandwich. Which is an aspect that so many people disregard when talking about a sandwich. Sometimes the best sandwiches have the soggy aspect that is the essence of all the different components in the sandwich.



I then decided to look at his instagram which was a very normal instagram account documenting his life and it was not that relevant to my brief. However there was one post about 'The Best Sandwich Ever'. This intrigued me as Tyler said it was an awesome tribute and I think that is a very bold statement to say the best sandwich as it is such an subjective aspect to have such a strong opinion on.
