Today, we're going to take a look at the man behind Tony Montana. You may know him as Adam Sandler's (playing Adam Sandler's twin sister) love interest in Jack and Jill, but Al Pacino is one of the greatest actors whose career has spanned over five decades. With an Acadamy Award (Best Actor in 1993 for Scent of a Woman), two Tony Awards (Best Actor 1969 for Does a Tiger Wear a Necktie? and 1977 for The Basic Training of Pavlo Hummel), and two Emmy Awards (Best Actor 2004 Angels in America and 2010 You Don't Know Jack). Born in East Harlem, in 1940, he was raised by his mother and grandparents who were Italian immigrants from Corleone, Sicily. Sound familiar? His first on-screen performance was as Michael Corleone in The Godfather. He spent his early years facing rejection from the New York theater scene before finally receiving his break in 1969, winning a Tony Award in his Broadway debut. Following blockbuster success in Godfather Part 1 and 2, Pacino starred in classics such as Dog Day Afternoon, Scarface, Dick Tracy, Glengarry Glen Ross, Scent of a Woman, Carlito's Way, Heat, Donnie Brasco, Any Given Sunday, and Insomnia. Sure, in the past 20 years he's also appeared in the two worst movies of the century, Gigli and Jack and Jill, but even with those admittedly wild misses, he's still one of the greatest of all time.
Al Pacino: Chicken Breast, Colby Jack Cheese, Bacon, Creamy Ranch
The debate between ranch dressing and blue cheese has been going on since the beginning of time like the Hatfields and McCoys of overrated creamy dressings. Here's why I prefer ranch (to be honest ranch doesn't exactly do it for me either): ranch doesn't take over food like blue cheese. Ranch dressing is more subtle and is less pungent against the good stuff of this sandwich like the bacon and Colby jack cheese. Ranch isn't a long-forgotten dairy product overcome with disgusting mold. No. It's a combination of all of our favorite processed dairy products into one: mayo, sour cream, buttermilk. These are the foods people come to see. So yeah, I liked this panini a whole lot better than anything I ate in the past week from Taliercio's and if you like ranch you'll like this panini, too.
Overall: 7.3/10
