In the spirit of the famous Roethlisberger sandwich in Pittsburgh, and to help kick off the season, The News Journal asked two local chefs, a sub shop owner, a baker and a sushi maker to dream up savory and sweet versions of a "J-Roll," a delicacy named after Jimmy Rollins. Needless to say, there were no shortage of ideas, and they all look delicious. Hopefully, Patricia Talorico got the chance to sample all of their concoctions while she was writing the story. I mean, any good reporter would absolutely insist on a taste-test!
Personally, I think the Timmy D's Deli J-Roll looks good. So does Eclipse Bistro's J-Roll. But I have a sweet tooth, so I'm sort of partial to The Hotel du Pont's J-Roll (above), which is described as "a vanilla-flavored roulade wrapped with raspberry preserves and a chocolate mousse bombe covered with white fondant. It's served with raspberry coulis, vanilla creme anglaise, fresh berries and a green icing 'grass.'"Mmmm.
So, what would you like on your J-Roll?
