Cheba Hut is my favorite sandwich shop in the world. A month ago, when I was in Colorado, I was thrilled to be able to eat there twice in a day. Last year in Las Vegas, I was also thrilled to discover there was one in town. Naturally we stopped.
Since the closest Cheba Hut is literally a thousand miles from us, I thought maybe I could make one of their sandwiches myself. I toasted some French bread, added some deli ham to the grill, threw on some bacon, sliced a few pickles, melted cheese, and slathered mayo and seasoning over everything. The result was…
… not that bad. But it definitely wasn’t Cheba Hut. The bread was all wrong, and frankly the bread is a major part of the experience. So it’s back to the drawing board. Maybe I can come up with a concoction that’s a little closer to the real thing. Until then, I just have to wait for another trip to Colorado or Nevada…
