We are nine days into the New Year, and I'm willing to bet there are still some Faithful Readers out there who haven't yet broken their New Year's Resolutions. For those stalwart souls, I offer two temptations that might break the firmest resolve, each a sandwich that just might be waiting for us when we enter the Pearly Gates.

In Louisville KY, there's a specialty called a Hot Brown. Picture an open-face masterpiece with turkey, bacon and a fried egg, topped with Mornay sauce-- secret ingredients including gobs of cheese. Originally created as a hangover cure, it's now a regional staple.

Or how about this? In Detroit, we can get a Yardbird, considered by locals to be an out-of-body experience. Chicken with mustard sauce, mushrooms, cheddar cheese and crispy bacon. Just the mental image makes me weak in the knees.

If you're still determined to hold firm, allow us to distract with some bidding problems. Let's keep our minds on bridge.
