Sweet Onion Teriyaki
by Brian Long
Every ingredient has a role,
it is a carefully made masterpiece,
it is a fantastic combination of flavors
that melts together perfectly.
There are trillions of different combinations
that can be made into this amazing food,
but one of the greatest
is the sweet onion teriyaki sub.
The bread of this meal is a warm herb and cheese delight
it was inspired by the Italians
and it holds the artwork together.
The main asset to the grouping is the meat
the tangy and awesome teriyaki chicken.
This fantastic farm fowl works with veggies wonderfully
to provide nutrients needed for the lucky consumer.
The lettuce, onion, tomatoes and cucumbers
mix with the fantastic sweet onion dressing
and altogether they create a euphoric tasteful blast of pure magic
that is one of the unrecognized miracles on this earth.
We managed to create such greatness
that is only bread,
that is only meat,
that is only vegetables,
that is such and easy concept,
that is so blissfully referred to as simply
a sandwich.
