Grand Central&#8217;s seeded baguette and Essential Baking Company&#8217;s Parisian baguette are both good. <\/p>\n<p>Cut the bread like Subway used to do, with a V-shaped chunk taken out of the top. This helps keep the avocado in while you&#8217;re eating it. If you&#8217;re careful, you can cut from the base of the V out towards the sides, turning the top of the bread into a kind of hinged filling-keeping system. (Be vigilant anyway; those avocados are slippery.) Sprinkle one half of the bread with balsamic vinegar. You let it pour out, didn&#8217;t you? Well, try to get some of the runoff onto the other sandwich you&#8217;re making. You want a fair amount, but not sopping.<\/p>\n<p>On the other half of the bread, sprinkle some of the oil from the pickled peppers. Layer the other components onto the bread. I think the avocado stays in place best if it&#8217;s directly next to the bread and not in contact with the cheese, but it may just be a lost cause. You&#8217;ll need to adjust the amounts of each ingredient to taste&#8212;I like more onion than Cam does, for example, and I think Cam could do without the cheese entirely while I think it&#8217;s a necessary component.<\/p>\n<p>Whole Foods&#8217; house brand balsamic vinegar is surprisingly good, incidentally.<\/p>\n<p>The original recipe calls for mayonnaise, but it doesn&#8217;t need it at all. You can get about three sandwiches out of one baguette, but I recommend just cutting it in half and making two.<\/p>\n<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-106 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-thumbnail'><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='http:\/\/www.houseofcranks.com\/journal\/2010\/12\/vegetarian-grinder\/p1020533\/'><img width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"http:\/\/www.houseofcranks.com\/journal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/12\/P1020533-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='http:\/\/www.houseofcranks.com\/journal\/2010\/12\/vegetarian-grinder\/p1020534\/'><img width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"http:\/\/www.houseofcranks.com\/journal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/12\/P1020534-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='http:\/\/www.houseofcranks.com\/journal\/2010\/12\/vegetarian-grinder\/p1020535\/'><img width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"http:\/\/www.houseofcranks.com\/journal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/12\/P1020535-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='http:\/\/www.houseofcranks.com\/journal\/2010\/12\/vegetarian-grinder\/p1020536\/'><img width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"http:\/\/www.houseofcranks.com\/journal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/12\/P1020536-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='http:\/\/www.houseofcranks.com\/journal\/2010\/12\/vegetarian-grinder\/p1020537\/'><img width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"http:\/\/www.houseofcranks.com\/journal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/12\/P1020537-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='http:\/\/www.houseofcranks.com\/journal\/2010\/12\/vegetarian-grinder\/p1020538\/'><img width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"http:\/\/www.houseofcranks.com\/journal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/12\/P1020538-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='http:\/\/www.houseofcranks.com\/journal\/2010\/12\/vegetarian-grinder\/p1020539\/'><img width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"http:\/\/www.houseofcranks.com\/journal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/12\/P1020539-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='http:\/\/www.houseofcranks.com\/journal\/2010\/12\/vegetarian-grinder\/p1020540\/'><img width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"http:\/\/www.houseofcranks.com\/journal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/12\/P1020540-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='http:\/\/www.houseofcranks.com\/journal\/2010\/12\/vegetarian-grinder\/p1020541\/'><img width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"http:\/\/www.houseofcranks.com\/journal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/12\/P1020541-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='http:\/\/www.houseofcranks.com\/journal\/2010\/12\/vegetarian-grinder\/p1020542\/'><img width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"http:\/\/www.houseofcranks.com\/journal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/12\/P1020542-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is from Grand Central Bakery&#8216;s lunch menu: Grand Central Seeded Baguette or Essential Baking Parisian Baguette Sliced avocado Red or sweet onion, sliced extremely thinly Mama Lil&#8217;s hot pickled goathorn peppers (mildly spicy will do if you can&#8217;t find hot) Balsamic vinegar Provolone Romaine lettuce This sandwich really requires a good flavorful bread.
