The one menu item that has not been shown in the following posts and will likely require an explanation is the Hotel California Melt and the Hotel Baltimore Melt. I'll start with the hotel california melt, I once worked on and cooked for the site crew at the WFF. The backstage area where we lived while constructing the festival sight is called Hotel California. Later on I worked at a blues bar as the asst. manager/cook. All I had for cooking equipment was a very small pizza oven. So I created various hot sandwiches for the patrons to munch on while hey listened to the blues. I tried to come up with interesting names for these sandwiches. I named the Capicollo and Provolone melt the Hotel California in homage to the backstage area where i spent many weeks over the years. The Hotel Baltimore Melt, the veggie melt, is a nod to the Norman Lear TV show called Hotl Baltimore, a favourite of mine from the early seventies.
