Scanwiches by Jon Chonko
Takes the sandwich and spreads it out for all to see. There are no food stylists interfering with the raw beauty of these inventions. From full-frontal, cross sections of monsters like the Dagwood and club, to minute, geometric tea sandwiches whose construction looks more like minimalist art than culinary creation, Scanwiches presents unabashed food porn that satiates even the most severe sandwich fetish. Complemented by text revealing the origins and development of each sandwich throughout history, readers learn to love and lust after these lowbrow delicacies even more.Jon Chonko is a self-confessed gourmet, graphic designer, photographer, and writer. Chonko has spent the last two years exploring New York's delis, cafes, and marketplaces for the city's most eye-catching sandwiches, the direct outcome of a successful first date between his parents at a sandwich shop many years ago. Chonko has become an authority on all-things-between-bread as a result of his blog scanwiches.com, as well as a (very) little Internet celebrity. Several newspapers, including Wired, The New York Times, Print, and The Washington Post, have highlighted his unusual take on sandwiches, as well as in person at ROLFcon 2009 at MIT. Chonko enjoys cycling and kiteboarding in addition to sandwiches. In Brooklyn, New York, he lives with his girlfriend and their cat.
