The deviled egg must also have chives or scallions and not be too 'wet' as to not gush out the sides.
I used to love tuna salad sandwiches the same way, but the tuna fishing industry is a problem, so no more for me.

Take a toasted bun or hoagie roll - or if you're me flatbread, and cover with a thin layer of coleslaw. On top of that, a layer of your fave chili - beans optional. Throw away the hot dog and apply a Polish sausage - all beef preferably, grilled or browned in an iron skillet. Cover with sharp cheddar and jack cheeses. For garnish, green onions and/or sliced jalapenos.
Use a fork!
BLT's are the essence of Summer!

I used to go there at least once a year for many, many years. Once while there, I told my mother "I love Chicago. I would live in Chicago. Why don't I live in Chicago?" and she said "Because you can't afford it." TRUTH!

I lived in Nashville in the 70s. I still have a dear friend there; we stay in touch to this day. I don't remember much about the food, though!

Learned it traveling in the Yorkshire Moors many years ago. We stopped at a farmhouse cafe.
Homemade whole wheat bread, spread thick with real butter (no mayo) and thick slices of very sharp cheddar. They grew the cucumbers of course.
Pairs well with fresh apple cider.
