Sandwich special aired on LPB
I hope fellow chowhounds caught this delightful and delicious film. Here's a quote from the LPB website introducing the program: "Sebak and his crew traveled from Maine (lobster rolls) to New Orleans (po'boys and muffalettas) to San Jose (banh mi), talking to sandwich makers, sandwich eaters and sandwich lovers. The program is an explosion of American voices talking about tastes, traditions and toppings." I have already emailed LPB to request a rebroadcast.
PS - In New Orleans Sebak featured Domalisi's and Central Grocery.

I accidentally ran across his "Sandwiches You Will Like" while flipping through channels. It was impressive. Me and my fiancee were glued to the tv, all the time saying, "We have to go there!"
Rick Sebak always does good documentaries, but I still think his best was "An Ice Cream Show" (or something close to that title).

The Washington DC chowhound page also has some enthusiastic fans of the show. I want it to be aired again to see the whole thing. I went to the LPB.org website and sent them an email requesting another broadcast. I don't know how much control they have about scheduling another broadcast, but it would be nice to see the whole thing. And if I ever get to Maine, I'm going to the Red Shack for one of those yummy lobster sandwiches.
