Sandwich Challenge: Tony Soprano

Last week was the 20th anniversary of The Sopranos, which may surprise people to know was a fairly popular show in New Jersey.  The crown-jewel of HBO programming for 6 seasons, Tony Soprano became an instant TV legend.  Today, I eat a panini in his name.  Ham, Genoa salami, provolone, red onion and red wine vinegar on pressed bread.  

Tony Soprano:  Ham, salami, provolone, red onion, red wine vinegar

No sauce or gimmicks on this panini, it's actually a pretty simple ham and cheese when you really break it down.  I found I enjoyed the provolone a whole lot better melted, but that's just cheese facts.  (Looking at you Bagel Oven) In fact, this could be best described as a Cuban sandwich by Italians. As the authority on Cuban-Italian affairs, I'll give it my seal of approval.   No vegetables on this one, just like T would have wanted.
