Yesterday, I went back to my hometown where I started exploring lots of food, lots of which I shared on my blog. Man, the Tomas Morato and Timog food scene is still at it, and I can say that just like any other food haven in the metro, all it takes is a little patience and a lot of curiosity for you to explore the area to the fullest.

And yet, upon the glitz and glamour of Instagram worthy food all over the metro, sometimes we forget about the most important elements on why we savor food.

What happened with appreciating taste lately? What happened to simplicity? Sometimes, all it takes is a simple but filling sandwich to get you through the day.

ANd at rare times, you might even get two sandwiches for the price of one.

"Let there be sandwich."

If you still haven't heard about Mr. Graham's Buy 1 Take 1 promo for this week, then you must read through this post now.

SPREAD THE WORD AND RELISH THESE NEW SAMMIES

Of course, no collab would be complete without trying out the sandwiches myself. It's good timing that I am cutting down on rice lately so I am trying to get my carb intake from bread. YES.

Grandma's Crispy Chicken is made with whole wheat buns, panko breaded chicken, signature aioli and homemade coleslaw. I find this simple and light, yet packed with full flavors!

The Grilled Cheese with Shredded Chicken comes in with whole wheat bread, homemade barbecue slow roasted chicken, and a three-cheese combination of mozarella, cheddar and cream cheese.

I'm a fan of grilled cheese sandwich (that combination of tang, salty and gooey) and I must say that I can eat this anytime of the day.

I like eating Chicken Parm by itself, but to place it in between two pieces of bread is love. At Mr. Graham's, it's made with pan cubano, crispy breaded chicken, homemade tomato sauce and mozarella.

One of my new faves is the Meatball Sub, made with pan cubano, homemade meatballs in a succulent tomato sauce and mozarella. Normally, you'd see this on top of some freshly cooked pasta but not on this joint. The flavors are spot on!

My most favorite sandwich, no BS included, is their most popular Cebuano, aka the Lechon Sandwich. And it's nice to know that the Cebuano now has a little brother called the Cebuanito.

It's a quick, easier sized sandwich made with pressed whole wheat buns, lechon, ham, pickled green and yellow mangoes, cheddar and aioli.
