Iâm a sucker for a good sammich.
Note that, yes, itâs sammich. Much like Homer Simpson and doughnuts, Ron Swanson and bacon, or Hannibal Lecter and fava beans, itâs me and sammiches. And I found that sammich at River City Cafe.
The first week of December, River City Cafe posted on its Facebook page its weekly special, a behemoth of a creation called the Dagwood. It was aptly named â a triple decker sammich with herb mayo and Dijon mustard, ham, turkey, Swiss cheese, spinach, tomato, onion, banana peppers and potato chips. Yep, crushed potato chips. It was delicious, a king among Fairbanks sammiches.Â
