    “The Gobbler” is a post-Thanksgiving tradition in my family. Get out the ancient, heavy panini press that is probably 80 years old (I could do a core sample of the accumulated grease and count the rings I guess). As you might assume it contains all of the thanksgiving leftovers. This year my sandwich had a bigass brioche bun between which was crammed:

    • turkey
    • stuffing
    • cranberry sauce
    • green beans
    • sweet potatoes
    • swiss and Gouda cheeses
    • chipotle mayo

    Add a little butter on the outside and gingerly apply pressure so it doesn’t come apart. After a few minutes you have a several-inch-thick slab of deliciousness.

    I should have taken a photo because it was a thing of beauty. Maybe next year.
