While I love the classic sandwiches, it’s always exciting to come across a creative idea or method. The newest sandwich concept I’ve discovered is a stuffed sub salad sandwich, but I like it for even more than its novelty. Stuffed sub sandwiches are inspired by the sandwiches at the Texas chain Bread Zeppelin. There, customers watch as their choices of cool, fresh chopped salads are assembled and then stuffed inside crusty, chewy, hollowed-out baguettes.

The baguettes baked at Bread Zeppelin are more than four inches across and twice that in length, which means they hold a lot of chopped salad. This inspired recipe makes two smaller sandwich halves using a regular baguette you can find at your local store or bakery. It holds a classic deli blend of diced turkey, bacon and peppercorn ranch dressing along with veggies, pickles and peppers. The chopped texture means you get a bit of each ingredient in every bite. Prep and stuff one of these sandwiches for your own lunch—or to share with someone lucky!

Cookouts may call for classics, but that doesn’t mean you have to stick with traditional preparations. These hot dog recipes reinvent the humble frank with bold toppings and all-new formats. We go beyond ketchup and mustard with fun twists on pigs in a blanket, creative ideas for buns, and gourmet fixings inspired by the best hot dogs from every state. These hot dogs are stuffed, wrapped, and crisped into next-level comfort food.
