Chelesa Market

When I saw Food Network Star, season 7, there was an episode shot at the Chelsea Market. I wondered about this place because it looked so cool and hip.  They had clothing stores, restaurants, a bakery, butcher, seafood market, and a book store, in one. There's different types of cuisines you can get, such as Mexican, seafood, Thai, baked goods, and italian. When I went there for New Year's Eve there were a lot of things to pick from, but something caught my eye.  I saw a spice and tea store, and I was in heaven!   They had so different seasonings and it smelled heavenly.  I decided to go to the Italian restaurant for lunch.  I ordered Octopus for my first time, it came with tomato, garlic, and sauce.  It was really good with bread.  My first bite was incredible, that's how good it was.

1/2 cup sliced cheddar cheese

1 teaspoon of chipotle mayo  by Kraft 

1 teaspoon of butter

Hawaiian bread dinner rolls 

1. Cut the Hawaiian bread in half 

2. Spread the mayo on the top half of the rolls

3. Then put the turkey on the bottom of the rolls

4. Add your cheese

5. Get your pan and add some butter to grease the pan 

6. Put the sandwich in the pan cook it for 6 mins or until it's golden brown each side

7. Enjoy!  This meal is also kid friendly!
