You Can't Ignore Anthony Bourdain's 5-Ingredient Mortadella Sandwich

Among his many talents, the late chef Anthony Bourdain — being a native New Yorker — knew plenty about elevating a good deli sandwich.
Bourdain loved pastrami sandwiches from New York City bodegas, but he also had his own easy mortadella sandwich recipe with only five ingredients.
You’ll need deli-sliced mortadella, provolone cheese, Dijon mustard, mayonnaise, and sourdough or Kaiser roll. They’re simple and easy ingredients to find at your local grocer.
It's worth noting that Anthony Bourdain's mortadella sandwich was based on a trip he made to São Paulo, Brazil during a 2012 episode of his show “The Layover.”
The most famous version of this sandwich comes from a São Paulo bar called Bar do Mané, which includes a whopping 10 ounces of local mortadella in each roll.
By the time the sandwich made its way into Bourdain's “Appetites” cookbook, it still packed a heavy amount of cold cuts to make for a very filling sandwich.
