This episode marks the first post-pandemic visit to the hallowed grounds of Epic Deli. My signature sandwich is back on the menu! The “JVO” is an open-faced sandwich on cornbread, covered with pulled pork, country fried pork belly, crumbled bacon, Carolina vinegar BBQ sauce, fried pickles and coleslaw! Topped with a drizzle of Mike’s Hot Honey!

Joining me for this episode is the talented and charming Marc Esses (For the Fallen Dreams/Flowers For Dorian), who also has a sandwich special on the Epic Deli menu this month. The “Messes” is oven roasted chicken breast, bacon, shredded provolone and smoked gouda cheese, bacon aioli, and sautéed onions cooked in 3 Floyd’s “Zombie Dust” beer!! Topped with fried cheese curds and lettuce that is tossed in ghost pepper ranch! Served on an eight-inch garlic bread sub roll with a side of “Zombie Dust” BBQ sauce!!

Marc and I generally make a mess in my car while eating and talking about music stuff.

Car Con Carne is sponsored by Siren Records McHenry, where I bought a Faith No More record before recording Car Con Carne this afternoon.
