The Volpi Dagwood
The Volpi Dagwood gets its name from a cartoon character that declared his masterpiece much too beautiful to eat. We understood what he meant. Our classic tower of meats, cheese, condiments, and chips (yes, chips!) is our homage to the intersection of pop culture and cuisine that inspires and feeds our souls. And bellies.
Directions
When assembling your Volpi Dagwood, you’ll need to carefully go layer by layer. A great sandwich structure such as this must be constructed with great care and ease, then devoured in a less fashionable manner.
For the first layer
Mix the sun-dried tomato with the mayonnaise in a small bowl. Spread onto a slice of light rye bread. Top with roast beef, Swiss cheese, and watercress.
For the second layer
Spread mayonnaise onto the second slice of bread and place it on top of the first layer, mayonnaise-side up. Place artichokes on top of the bread. Break the potato chips into smaller pieces and distribute on top of the artichoke. Top with mortadella, pickles, pepperoni, and provolone cheese. Spread mustard on the third slice of bread and close the sandwich.
For the garnish
Thread a pimento-stuffed olive, pepperoncini, and 1 folded slice of pepperoni onto a large toothpick. Skewer the sandwich to help hold it together.
Enjoy your Volpi Dagwood!
