HOLD THE MAYO, EXTRA RELISH

Our friend(s?) over at the civil lawyers blog (South Florida Lawyers) took the opening of the Federal Court Cafe and ran with it and began to speculate on what kind of sandwich would be named for each of the Federal Judges. Being the good and ethical blogger that we are, we immediately made plans to steal their idea - with proper credit of course.

So pick your Judge and create your sandwich and we'll post the best one's here. (UPDATED BELOW AS PROMISED)

In honour of our new Chief Judge, we'll start things off with the Bertie Soto:
Cucumber and Watercress on Rye with the crust trimmed. A slight dab of mayo, and plantain chips on the side with a cold Materva. Why? Judge Soto just seems like she deserves a classy sandwich.

See you in Au Bon Pain, getting them to change the menu.


UPDATE:

I disagree with every choice except the shumie.

The Ed Newman would be a juicy sliced Romanian tenderloin steak on a large crusty french bread with ketchup and steak fries on the side;

The Stan Blake would a a half pound of ham, nothing else, on pumpernickel. Onion rings on the side.

And now I add my own: The David Miller:
Sardines and chicken liver and sliced raw red onion on toasted white bread with boston lettuce and a large SOUR pickle on the side.

The John Thornton: Corned Beef and melted cheddar cheese with cooked onions on rye.

The Beth Bloom: Sliced apple and creme cheese on raisin pumpernickel with grapes on the side.

The Joe Fernandez: Grilled burger, grilled onion, grilled bun (grilled client?)

The Shumie- 2 Burger patties, a half pound of pastrami, mustard. mayo, relish, melted swiss, with a handful of crispy fries pressed into the bun and then the whole mess is put on the grill with a sandwich press.

Eat with a cold beer, at a dock, with your feet in the water, and two rolls of paper towels as napkins. Follow with a nice cigar.

The Stanford (don't call me Stanley) Blake:

a half pound of pastrami with a dill pickle, cole slaw and Swiss cheese on unseeded rye. Just because it's funny in a kosher kind of way.

The Peter "Macho Camacho" Adrien:

roadkill on a bun. Guaranteed to give you as much indigestion as a morning in his courtroom. And, let's hope, because he will soon be like roadkill on a highway.

The Jeri Beth Cohen, Cuban sandwich.

You will need fresh baked Cuban bread, second deport all the Cuban bread in Miami back to the island. Now get two slices of Publix white bread, pickles, mayo, swiss cheese, pulled pork, lean slices of ham, grill press and enjoy.

The Ed Newman two pieces of stale Rye ....nothing in between

The Jackie Hogan Scola sandwich:

Two slices of bread that are her choice, with no imput from anyone, two pieces of meat of her choice, with no imput from anyone and cheese, only if she wants it and only if no one tries to tell her what cheese is best for her.

She eats alone.

The Flora Seff sandwich:

Stale bread with two pieces of rancid meat and on piece of moldy cheese covered by mayo that was left out of the fridge for about 2 weeks.

Eat it and you will have her rosey demeanor.

The Arthur Rothenberg - Sunflower seeds, goats milk cheese with a sprinkle of sunshine garnished with a little weed on all whole wheat. Far out man.

The Third DCA delite:

Take what's left in the fridge throw it all over the bread. Now toss it up in the air. If the sandwich stays 80% in place we rule in favor of the Appellee, if more than 20% falls out, we issue PCA orders all day long. Goes good with a shot or two of vodka.

The Judge Zabel: 2 pieces of very mushy white bread with nothing inbetween. Served about an hour after you ordered it.

The Milton Hirsch--2 pounds of tongue on rye with plenty of spicy mustard.

For those with amnesia or too young to remember, the relationship between judges and food in this town has a storied past. Former attorney Arthur Massey was convicted of paying for Al Sepe's lunches and dinners at Buccione's in the late 80's in exchange for court appointments. Sepe was acquitted of the same charges but plead guilty to another bribery charge and did 18 months. You can look it up.

I don't publish comments about a Judge's family, even if everyone knows their spouse is a law enforcement officer.

betty butchko was a defense attorney in private practice and did civil work as well

guess who wrote this on his web profile:

"The consultation is only free if the client decides to retain me. Otherwise, it is $500 for a consultation. I do not believe in using time that other clients are paying for to speak to potential clients who are merely "shopping" for a lawyer"

I would like to order the Dava Tunis Sandwich.

When she was provided evidence of obscenity (Judge Adalberto Jordan's term, not mine) distribution by one of my esteemed bar complainants, she said, "I've seen it all Mr. Thompson."

So the Dava Tunis Sandwich has absolutely everything on it to celebrate Her Turbulence's omniscience. Ingredients must include: bacon, ham, hamburger, grouper, chicken, gator, and ants. Oh, I forgot the kangaroo. That is the most appropriate of the proteins.

Moving on to the veggies, the Dava Tunis Sandwich must have raw okra, raw cabbage, raw turnips, and raw carrots, because, hey, raw is war backwards and this Hell on wheels jurist declares war on Christians. Gotta love her.

Finally, as to the condiments. Nothing but mustard, baby, because this is the biggest hot dog of a judge I have ever seen.

Enjoy! Jack Thompson

I almost published the sandwich that is hot and juicy and you eat all day long. But this judge has a family and it just didn't sit right with me.
