So you’ve watched a season of The Bear and is now convinced that you can be just as skillful in the kitchen. The premise of the chaotic TV drama revolves around a young chef from the fine dining world who comes home to Chicago to run his family sandwich shop after a death in his family.  

Now into its second season (available on Disney+), the show has captivated plenty of audiences around the world with its fiery characters and of course, the food. After all, the beef sandwich at the heart of the show is just a sandwich, right? Even though there’s a brisket that takes about three hours to prep, and a giardiniera that requires pickling – but that’s okay.  

The best part about making a sandwich is that you can pretty much put together anything between two slices of bread and let the magic happen. However, a hot sandwich is always better than a cold goopy one, and we have just the suggestions for you to get started on this sandwich journey.
