We're in San Francisco this week, and despite an exhaustive search, we have yet to find anywhere serving a Rice-a-Roni sandwich. We're told the next best thing is the Menage A Trois from Ike's Place.
It gets its name from the fact it's chicken bathed in three sauces — barbecue, honey mustard and honey — and three cheeses: cheddar, pepper jack and Swiss.
Seth: If I only had three wishes I might wish for this sandwich three times.
Ian: The sandwich so good they named a sex thing after it.
Miles: Did you get this on the Sandwich Encounters section of Craigslist?

We ate the Menage in Dolores Park, overlooking San Francisco. I don't think it's overstating things to say everything here is better than everything everywhere else.
Peter: Honestly, watching you guys eat that sandwich is the only ugly thing I've ever seen in San Francisco.
Ian: San Francisco is so weird. How is it the guy who invented Facebook is a billionaire and the guy who invented this sandwich is not?
Miles: Can anyone arrange a meeting with venture capitalists about my new start-up, Just Buy Me More Sandwiches?

Miles: This city is so liberal, even their sandwiches are an affront to God.
Peter: Yeah, c'mon, it's barbecue sauce and Eve, not barbecue sauce and Steve.
![OK, sign, we've asked ourselves the question. And, yes, we would like to lead the world to love itself through sandwiches.](https://npr.brightspotcdn.com/dims4/default/a77e5aa/2147483647/strip/true/crop/1620x1214+0+0/resize/880x659!/quality/90/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.npr.org%2Fassets%2Fimg%2F2014%2F07%2F21%2Fphoto-1-1--08f4d5907625749cbef2c84a5b7dd042a7c834d2.jpg)
[The verdict: This sandwich showed up on a lot of Best Sandwich in San Francisco lists, and even with that hype, it didn't disappoint. Go get one.]
