MM- I'll have you know I killed that sandwich with nothing more than a fork and a large appetite.Yes, that was an Edjamikated Redneck's sandwich, which I photographed at the Cincinnati blogger-commenter meet-up at Arnold's Bar and Grill. Now, the menu is not available at the link, but I can tell you that it was listed on the menu as a hot brown.
And a little ice tea to wash it down.
Of course the fork may have been silver; I didn't stop long enough to check.
And thanks to all who came to the meet-up. I've done meet-ups in NYC, San Francisco, and LA, but those are larger cities than Cincinnati. It's incredibly cool that we can get together a good crowd in Cincinnati.

"The Mutated Chicken of Death"?
Name it? OK, I'll call it George.
Explain it? That's a whole different thing. Bacon, tomato, maybe turkey? I dunno.
Pulled chicken sandwich.
Whatever it is, I want one. It looks like some kind of barbecued chicken sandwich, topped with a roasted tomato and crisp bacon, served with a glass of sweet tea. Mmmmmm.
Only thing better would be chicken fried steak, and if you haven't tried one, Althouse, please do so before heading back north. Good chicken fried steak can't be found in the north.
Don't miss that there are french fries in the sandwich. And the knife stuck in like that was the way it was served.
There is a specific name for this sandwich, btw.
It's the #2 blue plate special at that place in Indian Hills...but it isn't chicken..it is Ohio River flaked tuna.
You got it without gravy.
Waaaiiiit a minute. Are we being misdirected by our clever blogstress?
I get it now. Look at the picture again. All that meat.
It's the meat-up photo, isn't it?
Cain't fool me, no ma'am.
Anyhow, I'd guess that what you had was the pulled chicken sandwich at City Barbecue.
Prelude to Heart Bypass Surgery.
The internet is a big help in finding the name of the sandwich in the photo.
I googled: "sandwich with a knife in it cincinnati" and presto! Here's the answer! Answer
Mystery solved!
Only a confident German Restaurant could serve that concoction. Put lots of salt on it and attack, with no regard for your good manners.You have to overcome it more than dine on it
Good Lord, what's with the knife? Was it attacking you or something??
Bigcinnati?

Ohhhhh... okay. It attacked the cook.
Vampire Chicken.
I don't know about the sandwich, but I can spot a Fiestaware plate from a mile away. You may wonder how, it's because my wife is obsessed with it. Just a simple observatin by a simple man.
I don't know the name, but I do know you can't kill a sandwich like that with a knife -- you need a silver bullet or a cross.
"Yum"
MM- I'll have you know I killed that sandwich with nothing more than a fork and a large appetite.
And a little ice tea to wash it down.
Of course the fork may have been silver; I didn't stop long enough to check.
"Expectorant Pinned to Plate with Knife."
All I want to know is, who ate it, Professor Althouse, before you did?
Who ate it? Read the thread! Edjamikated Redneck!
I don't know what it is called, but it is usually served with pink champagne on ice.
And in the master's chambers,
They gathered for the feast
They stab it with their steely knives,
But they just can't kill the beast.
Looks like a type of fat sandwich.
I used to put fries on my burgers when I was a kid. That way you get everything on your plate together in your mouth at the same time. And they have a party!
Edjamikated, you only *think* you killed it. In reality, it will kill you, as it springs Alien-like from your abdomen when you least expect it. :)
Only god knows.
But the French fry sandwich has a long and honorable history as cheap eats:

Plus, nowadays it's vegan
Ok, time's up. What is the name of the sandwich?
No time to explain it. Just drive a stake through its heart.
Wait, it has a name? Bitey, no!
Echo Host with the Most....WTF?
What is wrong with people in Cincinnati? It looks like they dumped the contents of a garbage can on top some bread.
Trashcan gourmet. Don't use any utensils, just stick your face down on the plate and gobble away.
*egregious spelling errors corrected
Give up???
I'm going with "Heart Attack" or something similar. Knife through the heart?
I give up.
What is wrong with you people???
It was a baked chicken sandwich!
How much healthier can you get and still be able to taste it?
Okay, maybe the bacon was a litle on the wrong side, but as the man said; everything in moderation, including, at times, moderation.
I give up.
Wth the addition of fries and the apparent elimination of Sauce Mornay, this is no canonical hot brown:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hot_Brown
I believe the appropiate term of art would be "poorboy", a sandwich usually made of deep-fried fish between two pieces of bread (but any no-effort meat between undecorated bread would fit)
Not convinced. I note that Black Dog does not appear in this series of photos.
Sandwich blogging is so February 2009.
hot brown? aka "steamy aftermath"
aka "shit on a shingle 2009"
I don't know what it's called. But I want one. Now!
The tomato just seems so out of place. Like trying imply that a modicum of health is involved with this delicious treat, but fails due to the overwhelming visual fattening evidence surrounding it.
Regurgachicken.
Hot Brown?
Next time just order a Michelle Obama.
Is that for here, or to go?
Looks a bit like what the locals call a "commercial" in southeastern Minnesota. It's an open-faced turkey sandwich, served on 2 slices of white bread, and smothered in gravy.
I think we have some presentation prejudice here. If this were dressed up like a neat little chicken club with the crusts cut off and fries on the side, we wouldn't have all that talk about heart attacks.
That Hot Brown is decidedly short on gravy.
Brown doesn't refer to the color of the meat or the gravy or anything--the sandwich made its debut at the Brown Hotel in Louisville, an absofreekinlutely fantabulous hotel I've had the privilege to stay in several times. I don't think I had the Hot Brown there, though.
Hope you guys do another Ohio meetup one day.
Hot brown is served at chick fil a's dwarf house in atlanta ga. Has been for years. That should be called the big pickens.
