more sandwiches need cranberry sauce and/or Cape Cod potato chips shoved in them

Ti Couz to Become a Pittsburgh-Style Sandwich Shop?

— By Kevin Montgomery (@kevinmonty) |

Inside Scoop brings us the word that Ti Couz, the crepery on 16th and Valencia whose closure is imminent, could be replaced by North Beach's Giordano Bros.:

Giordano Bros. — the North Beach “all-in-one” sandwiches spot — has filed a liquor license application for 3108 16th Street. Curious, no? But that doesn’t mean it’s a done deal by any means; after all, Giordano Bros. did the same for a Union Street space that never happened. But it could very well be a precursor nonetheless, and the Giordano concept — sandwiches, beer, music, etc. — would appear to be a good Mission fit.

Good fit, indeed.  There's nothing we like more than music, beer, and a giant sandwich.  Plus, their sandos remind me of the KFC Double Down, not because they use chicken for bread, but because just looking at one makes my arteries clog with vomit.

EAT THIS

I have no idea if this is supposed to be a seasonal sandwich or not, but Ike's Vegan Pilgrim sandwich is the jam.  Vegan turkey, hella cranberry sauce, Sriracha, soy cheese and some other salad parts combine together just like holiday leftovers should.  Also, I'd highly recommend properly cleaning your face afterwards so you do what I did and end up looking like an old man with no sandwich-eating coordination.
