As nearly as I can tell, it started with a regional chain called Capriotti’s and a sandwich known as The Bobbie. It’s basically “Thanksgiving Dinner on a sub bun”: Turkey, cranberry sauce, stuffing, and mayo. Delicious if a bit carb-heavy.
Then a local sandwich shop called Eddie D’s threw down with their own version. As Eddie himself put it, “I call it the Robert, because it’s the Bobbie’s daddy.” It’s served hot with turkey, melted cheese, stuffing, cranberry sauce and you can order it with hot gravy. Also delicious.
Expect some variation to come to fine dining near you and then eventually filter down to the casual dining set. The other day I was exposed to Marche Bacchus’s take on the Thanksgiving sandwich. Their version features housemade cole slaw, swiss cheese, caramelized onions, and cranberry coulis. A huge improvement over the turkey panini they used to serve.
I think this trend could be the next Slider of the culinary world.

Why thank you for stopping by my joint and thanks for the link.
It just gets weirder everyday anymore.
There is actually quite an elaborate body of thought (tin-foil hat wearing whackos or prescient oracles?) who trace legitimacy of the U.S. corporation/government.
Claims are made that the King never really sacrificed his authority over the New World and that each citizen is still the King’s property (using tax law language.)
Very fun/interesting reading. I will try to dig some links up and send them to you (I will mark them for easy deletion before reading, should you so desire.)
