I kept going "this is too much bread... way too much bread." About a quarter of the way through I took the top bun off and ate it like a fucking canapé

It’s a good story. And I’m sure it’s true. But it’s a bit odd. Bread is traditionally a lot cheaper than what you put on an open faced sandwich. So two open faced sandwiches is usually more luxurious, than one with double bread.

I’m sorry if it came off that way. Didn’t mean anything negative towards Doug.
