Anthony Bourdain's Viral Mortadella Sandwich
  1. Heat up a cast iron or flat top skillet on high.

  2. While it's heating up, gently divide the mortadella into 8 piles - clumping and folding each piece on top of the other - making sure that there are air pockets between the slices.

  3. Once you've got the mortadella piles ready and the cooking surface is super hot, quickly place the stacks of meat on top.

  4. Let the meat brown and caramelize for about a minute or so then flip each pile and add a slice of cheese on top.

  5. Once the bottom layer of meat is crispy, pile the meat and cheese stacks on top of each other. Add the butter in the pan and and the bun to toast them— moving them around to soak up the butter.

  6. Once the buns are warm and toasty remove it from the heat.

  7. Add a smear of mayo to the bottom bun then place the meat and cheese stack on top.

  8. Smear the mustard on the top half of the bun and then close up the sandwich.

  9. Slice it down the middle and serve immediately. Devour!
