Song of the Week XXVI

This week we have a classic rock 'n' roll track from Aerosmith. The song is a first-person rendition of what any man has likely experienced with women. It details the high school version of hooking up. This song, entitled Walk This Way, is centered around meeting and getting to know a love interest. It is a staple of the rock 'n' roll era in music, featuring the normal guitar and drum rhythms for the harder rock of the time. It is a very good song as well, something that people can relate to. This feature will run next week.

Sandwich Showdown XXIV

The 24th installment of the Sandwich Showdown features a Roast Beef on Wheat and an Italian BMT on Herbs and Cheese. Leading off, the Roast Beef came in with a little less than strong meat flavor. This is uncharacteristic of the sandwich. It got a boost from the tasty bread, but seemed just slightly weaker than normal. The Italian BMT came out much stronger with all of its tri-meat flavor present. The bread was also exceptional, outweighing even the opponent's bread. By a landslide, the BMT would take the win this week. It will also have many more chances to defeat opponents as the featured $5 footlong of the month. This feature will run again next week.
