We need not say more than “bacon and steak on a sandwich” and many of you would be lining up, money in hand. But we have an extra card up our sleeve, an extra ace in the hole, an extra bird in the hand, worth more than two in the bush… (we may have gone one idiom too far). This sandwich's bacon is folded into a cheese sauce with feisty jalapeño, plus a jelly of jalapeño and smoky chipotle. There's all this flavor, all this heat, two kinds of meat… almost sold. Last question: is this difficult to make? Piece of cake. (Ok, one more idiom.)
