So here is our tribute to the most important meal of the day. Our Grilled Reuben Sandwich is inspired by The Commuter Sandwich at La Grande Orange Grocery, in the historic Phoenix, Ariz., neighborhood of Arcadia. Our Italian Breakfast Panini is an easy-to-make take on Svens Breakfast Panini, available at Svens European Café, in Milwaukee, Wis. And, guess what, you may want to call them Sunset Sandwichestheyre just as good for dinner.
