Back in the early-1960s, before they wrote The 1,000 Fabulous Sandwiches, the authors would host brunch every Sunday. Their friend, Janet, would show up full of sunshine and smiles. But by her fourth mimosa she was hell in heels. Trashing people left and right leaving no one unscathed. So they nicknamed her the Brunch Witch. Which is why when it came time to write their cookbook, they decide to name a sandwich after her. But they didn’t want her catching on so they changed it to Brunchwich. At least, that the backstory I wish was true. In reality, they just mashed together the words “brunch” and “sandwich” landing us here. The ingredients are brunchy to be sure, toast, egg, cheese…but is it enough to earn the moniker Brunchwich?
