Great American Sandwich Company on Soi Buakhao (Dec. 27, 2017)

The chilli burger in Evil's post reminded me of one my favorites, Sloppy Joes. Might be another good addition to the GASC menu. Here's one reciepe I grabbed off the internet.

 

In a medium skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef, onion, and green pepper; drain off liquids.

Stir in the garlic powder, mustard, ketchup, and brown sugar; mix thoroughly. Reduce heat, and simmer for 30 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.

Sloppy Joes, now that took me back to my elementary school cafeteria! They were always a favorite of school kids in the U.S. I wonder if they are still served as a school lunch?

 

Sloppy Joes are a variation of the "loose meat" (aka "tavern") sandwich, which was ground beef served on a bun, basically a hamburger without the beef in patty form. According to legend, a chef named Joe in Souix City, Iowa, added tomato ketchup to the ground beef while it was cooking and the Sloppy Joe was born. It's supposedly still popular in restaurants in Iowa, but I can't recall seeing it on restaurant menus. The big deterent with Sloppy Joes is that they are so messy to eat.

Now I'm hungry. I can't remember the last time I had a sloppy joe sandwich. Usually, I'm too lazy to do that much cooking. Sometimes I'll buy a small tub of pulled pork BBQ stuff, or maybe BBQ beef. Just heat it up in a microwave, put some on a bun, and you're all set. Tastes sort of like sloppy joe.

I love Sloppy Joes! I would definitely be there.

I'v eaten at Great American Sandwich Company twice this week and both times were fantastic!! I had the BBQ Bacon Cheese Burger with FF this first time. i went back again and had the Philly Cheese Steak. I can"t for October's special some kind of ribeye sandwich!

[jacko 8,814]

I gave it a try too, enjoy a good old USA style unhealthy sandwich now and again.

Not very busy on an evening, most people in that area seem to forego food for all day drinking!

I was there once and had the Philly Cheese steak, was not impressed. i also didn't like the English manager of gAsco telling me Chang was the places beer. No selection?

 

Seeing both Evil's and MGDN photos of a chili dog with beans on it is a off putting as well. The reviews are great which definitely means something and i will give them another try, just not in a hurry.

The manager/partner is a Canuck. The other partner is from Oz.

Monthly special for October:

I plan on eating the pizza hoagie inhouse and taking the tuna sub home with me.

Evil, can you please post a review of the pizza hoagie when you've tried it. Not a fan of tuna, but perhaps a pizza hoagie may be worth trying.

[Evil Penevil 7,628]

I had one of the October specials at GASCO, the pizza steak hoagie. It was a sizeable sandwich, certainly enough for lunch or dinner.

 

 

A generous amount of sliced steak had been fried with onions and sweet peppers, mixed with pizza sauce and topped with mozzarrella and a bit of cheddar cheese.

 

 

The hoagie roll was fresh and close in texture to the hoagie rolls from Amoroso's Baking Company in Philadelphia. The traditional hoagie roll is light and airy on the inside, but with a thin, firm crust.

 

 

The bread soaks up the juices from the filling while the crust acts as a barrier against the juices leaking. With an abundance of mozzarrella and sliced steak, I liked the pizza steak hoagie a lot. I just wish the cook had gone a bit heavier on the oregano so it had had more of a pizza flavor.

 

Bottom line: I'll be back before the month is out to have another. I also want to try the tuna sub, but that's more of a take-away sandwich.

I had the Pizza Hoagie twice before I left for Cambodia and its a great sandwich! Very filling just like you said i will differently stop back before the month is over!

If you are tired of Christmas food, you still have a few days left to get a nice chili cheeseburger as GASCO's December special. It costs 245 baht. Chili cheese dogs, chili fries and bowls of chili are also specials.

 

It's a great-tasting burger with a good chili topping.

I've yet to have a burger or sandwich I didn't like at GASCO. That's why it distressed me to see this notice on their Web site:

 

 

I sure hope GASCO will continue to serve up its U.S.-style food. It is a welcome addition to the food scene in central Pattaya.

Don't believe I ever had a hamburger served on a bread roll. Usually get mine on buns.

You may call it a bun or a roll but we call it a bread roll in the UK as it is made of "bread" of one kind or another but it is always a "bread" roll, to distinguish it from other kinds of rolls.

I have always felt a sandwich should be something you can eat with your hands.....

The American style of overindulgence makes that impossible.... now I ain't saying that is bad, but I don't want to have to change shirt before I go out on the razz, or be seen badly stained, above the waistline too!

I have encountered sandwiches I couldn't eat with my hands in the US, but they seem to be far more common in Pattaya.

Yes, a good hamburger should fit comfortably into the hands. If you have to use a knife and fork, they're doing it wrong.
