Thank you, Etta James.
We’re in New York today, shooting season two of the show. Here’s our crew in action, with director Ben Harrison behind the tripod and New York producer Andrew Yamato in the sportcoat. I’m in front of the camera, describing how best to fold and pack a suit.
Oh Put This On! You fancy all the time. The sound guy is the only one who looks like he’s on set!

I missed you Wikipedia.
Our nation’s 19th President, Rutherford B. Hayes (March 4, 1877 – March 4, 1881 term), is the most recent President to assume the presidency in the normal way (not a Vice President who took over for an elected President due to assassination, impeachment, etc), serve a single term, and not seek reelection.
On the other hand, workplace productivity is through the roof.
#32 Turkey Leg Sandwich, Henry Public
Holy smokes this was a great sandwich. The listing describes it thusly: “Braising turkey legs in milk makes for a minor miracle.” Agreed wholeheartedly. I don’t know if you can tell from the pictures, but this thing was huge, easily the length of my outstretched hand and the width of one and a half of my outstretched hands. But because the turkey was never dry, I never grew tired of eating the sandwich. The bread was toasted perfectly; one side was close to burnt, but the other side was just the perfect amount of soggy with the delicious juices of the milk-braised turkey.
And the restaurant itself? Charming. A bit on the dark side, a bit on the smaller side, but very relaxing. It’s kinda out of the way in terms of public transit, but it’s a great spot for dinner if you can manage it.
BRAISED IN MILK. I think this was the first sandwich of this project where I had an out-loud, ”Holy shit, this is fucking great.” reaction, without thinking about it. The taste of this thing! The taste! Meaty and rich and moist- it kind of eats like a pulled pork- it’s even garnished with pickles and fried onions- but it’s delicious turkey! How come more people don’t do this turkey in a milk braise thing? Thanksgiving, where are you on this?
I really liked Henry Public, too. Very small and smartly styled, without being too on the nose about the whole thing.
You guys have to go here and try this sandwich, but you better go soon, because I’m not sure how a big wet milk braised turkey is gonna play in the summertime.
