Taliercio's Challenge: Ronnie Special

If you're also getting through quarantine like me, you're probably going through all the trash reality TV in your DVR from the past 3-4 months.  So you'll know that today is another JERZDAY.  I've already written about the cultural impact the show Jersey Shore has had on the world but today we're going to examine the wildest cast member of them all; Ronnie.  I have absolutely no idea if this sandwich is named after him at all but the inclusion of chicken cutlets and American cheese gives me a suspicious feeling.  You may remember Ron as the meatiest of the meatheads on the boardwalk.  The guy who got into a fight almost every week with any and all unsuspecting patrons of Karma, especially his roommates.  He famously coined the phrase "Never fall in love at the Jersey Shore" and then promptly did just that by getting into a five-year on-again, off-again relationship with housemate Sammi Sweetheart.  If you've never seen the show you'd love him.  This is apparently his sandwich, but really its everyone's sandwich.  What's not to love about a chicken cutlet sandwich?  The answer is nothing.  



The Ronnie Special: Chicken Cutlet, American Cheese, Lettuce, Tomato, Mayo


This is a Taliercio's classic.  I would bet if I polled (totally obsessed with polls now) most people that go to Taliercio's they would say that the Ronnie Special is their favorite sandwich.  Luckily for you, the free software I used to make the polls for our PEC Tournament has exceeded the number of monthly views allocated so no poll can exist.  A Taliercio's chicken cutlet with mayo and American cheese is leaps and bounds an improvement to ANY chicken sandwich you'll find at a national fast-food chain (sorry all you Chik-Fil-A stans out there).  The perfect layers of chicken cutlet.  The gentle application of the mayo beneath.  Lettuce, tomato, and of course, the Semolina bread.  A work of art in the chicken sandwich game.  

Overall: 8.6/10
