Except where draped over the lip, the prosciutto, capicola, and provolone of The Crazy Dave (shown in the smaller, "regular" size, $6.29) were less pronounced than the hot peppers, onion, fresh garlic, lettuce, herbs, and "Cosmic Sauce." But the proportions were well-considered, and the payload, just right — this was an appetizer to a midday rendezvous with my cousin and her boys. Must leave room for lunch!
Also shown: the leavings, which called to mind the classic Japanese ink rubbings known as gyotaku. What are the prospects, I wonder, for oil-and-vinegar prints of classic Italian sandwiches?
