GREAT NEWS FOR late-nighters…A new sandwich shop will be moving in to the old Rotations venue downtown before the end of the year…It’s called Sando’s Eatery…“We’re going to focus on Philly Cheese Steak sandwiches to start,” says one of the three partners, Ross Mulder. “We’ll be pretty simple off the bat, with maybe six or seven sandwiches to start.”…The other two partners are Craig Colombo and Will Gencay…They expect to be open five days a week…and the big news?
Welcome to the latest installment of Notable Sandwiches, the feature where I, alongside my editor David Swanson, trip merrily through the bizarre document that is Wikipedia’s List of Notable Sandwiches. Today: a pair of French classics, the croque madame and croque monsieur.

Hiya, clowns!
This week, I’m shifting gears a tiny bit. You all know that I’m easily the greatest chef on the face of this planet (I have won every single James Beard Award). But I tend not to dole out a ton of practical kitchen advice, because people are so intimidated by my sick skills, they don’t even bother asking me for any. So this week, I’m here to head into new territory and show you some cool tricks of the trade, secrets of the kitchen that nobody else will tell you about.
Did you know Amazon offers tours of its facilities to the general public? The corporate behemoth has four buildings in Coppell, and your correspondent recently toured the one known as FTW6.
Amazon’s facilities are named after airport codes. Our tour guide said the company avoids double digits in its designations, so even though FTW6 is within the DFW International Airport flight path, its name alludes to Fort Worth’s Meacham International Airport because there were already nine Amazon buildings named after DFW.
