  • Every time I see a Lan video, I stop what I'm doing and watch. Worth it, every time.
  • @quakerwildcat
    This is brilliant. For 50 years, my family has made fun of the seriousness with which I construct a sandwich. Lan Lam has laid out in clear and absorbing detail why it all matters.
  • @DowntownDiva
    I've never seen someone who can break things down so technically but such an approachable manner. I feel like a better chef after watching these, truly.
  • @sevenflashowls
    LAN is the only one that can make an 11 minute video about Sandwiches a must see!
  • @path4061
    So many local sandwich shops need to watch this video...
  • @dumodude
    Triangles; something very satisfying about that first bite of the point, no agonizing over where to bit first, no cheek smear of filling, the perfect balance of crust, spongy bread, and fixings. Always gotta be triangles.
  • @seannemetz4856
    Every time I see a new episode with Lan Lam, I have to watch it. She is making me look like I know what I'm doing. Feels like a cheat code.
  • Lan is positively lovely, with the most beautiful, peaceful voice. And, her content is just superb!!
  • @cdawg_sf
    2 Lan videos in one week. ❤❤❤
  • @Drgn1993
    I swear when this channel posts a video with Lan Lam I like the video first and then i watch it.
  • When Lan tastes something amazing, she doesn't have to speak...she just raises her shoulders and that says it. Lan, you're brilliant and adorable
  • @joecab1
    That sponge stunt was hilarious ... and effective
  • @Synystr7
    It's amazing what differences in cultures you grow up in teach you because this is basically every lunch I ate as an italian-canadian. This has always been what a "sangweech" has been in my mind.
  • @MLFranklin
    I especially like the idea for the pickled avocado and sumac onions.
  • I have been a home cook for sixty years, and a cafe cook for ten of them. I use some of these tricks myself, but I never assembled them into anything resembling a plan or a lexicon of techniques aomed at the whole genre of sandwiches. Thanks!

    Every video Lan Lam makes is 150% useful and 150% entertaining
