Sandwich Américain

Stephanie told me that in college, when funds were low, she would occasionally treat herself to an “American Sandwich” because it was cheap and very filling. The funny thing is, the Sandwich Américain doesn’t really exist in the US, outside of the occasional TGI Friday’s promotion. Which is all the more reason I HAD to have one.

So what’s a Sandwich Américain? Half a baguette, split and filled with lettuce, tomatoes, Gruyère or Emmental, browned ground beef (steak haché), and french fries—on top! Fear not, I took pictures.
