EAT THIS IMMEDIATELY: The Jawn at Wedge + Fig
Rebecca Torpie of the recently opened Wedge + Fig (160 N. Third St.) caught wind of the experiment and asked if she could place a rendition of Dad's Sandwich on her chalkboard as a "Panini of the Day" special. OBVIOUSLY I SAID YES HOLY CRAP WHAT A HUGE HONOR!
EAT THIS IMMEDIATELY: The Jawn at Wedge + Fig
In the most recent edition of Notes from the Weekend, I shared how my Saturday-night drunk-munchie meanderings led to the creation of Project X Dad's Sandwich, a butter-fried turkey/pork roll situation wrought from the potent admixture of wee-hour hunger and disparate fridge contents.

W+F's version, renamed The Jawn, is more fully realized than my 2 a.m. rough cut: Instead of mayo, dijon and sliced jalapeno, she combines those three ingredients in a spicy/mustard-y aioli and adds shaved red onion into the mix. Bread is a crunchy pretzel roll. The two most important elements, however — rounds of pork roll (Philly stand up!) and turkey fried in butter — haven't been tweaked a bit. Torpie, who'll run The Jawn as special through this weekend, says it's mostly been dudes ordering it, with only a handful of female customers taking the plunge so far. Girls, do B proud and get on it — eat this immediately!

Does Wedge + Fig not put cheese on The Jawn ( the original has cheddar)? Cause if so, that's just crazy.— MLF- No, it totally has cheddar on it, I just failed to mention it by name in the writeup, but it's on there, trust.— Drew Lazor
