It's America between two slices of bread!
It's a fast-cut, slightly goofy celebration of some great sandwiches
at some very interesting places from Pennsylvania to California.

Even when much of America seems "all the same,"
you can still find some distinctive, delicious differences in lots of cities,
and this documentary takes you to some outstanding eateries
where lobster rolls are amazing, where falafel is fabulous,
and where peanut-butter-and-jelly is always at the top of the menu.

Follow along with Rick below.
