Fan favorite spot Collegeville Italian Bakery in Montgomery County is showing us how to make one of their best sellers: the Bangin' Cutlet Sandwich.We are heading to a fan favorite in Montgomery County to find out how to make one of their best sellers: The "bangin' cutlet" sandwich.
"40,000 sandwiches - just the bangin' cutlet alone," says owner Patrizia Carcarey."The cutlet has to be filleted nice and thin," Patrizia says. "That is key. You want it thin, you want it crispy."She says you want it to thin that you get four or five cutlets from one chicken breast."We use our homemade breadcrumbs," Patrizia says. "That makes the difference - our bread. We sell them here."Patrizia says the smell of frying cutlets is comforting like a hug and reminds her of her late mother, Lina, who passed away in December.Collegeville Italian Bakery began three decades ago as a small bakery with just a deli counter.And their bread is the base for the bangin' cutlet. "You have to hand slice the bread when you're making the sandwich. I am a firm believer in no pre-sliced rolls here," says Patrizia. Once the roll is open, first load it with some Mike's Hot Honey. That kick of heat is one of three secrets that make this cutlet "bangin'!""We use the inside and the outside of the burrata," Patrizia says. "It's creamier. This is what makes the sandwich.""We make it with heavy cream, Parmigiano Reggiano, tomato sauce and fresh basil. Don't go easy on it. This is a sloppy sandwich and we are loading it up!" says Patrizia.Collegeville Italian BakeryWhen "The Bachelor" Joey Graziadei brought the show home, he brought the cameras here. He's a regular. "The producers had no idea what hit them when they came here," laughs Steve Carcarey, Patrizia's husband. "We had over 800 people here. We put Collegeville on the map. People were coming through the trees!"Patrizia's mother Lina and her husband Giovanni started this bakery in 1994. As Italian immigrants, this was their American dream."We started as an old-school bakery, making breads, rolls, lunchmeat sandwiches, but we had to think outside the box," says Steve. They've expanded twice, first adding a dining room, then a pizzeria. With mom gone, dad, Giovanni, remains the heartbeat of this bakery.The love of community is clear here and Steve is in charge of their famous billboard. "It's simple," Steve says. "People don't care if I put on the sign: 'Two pizzas and a free bottle.' Nobody cares about that. We live in a negative world, so what we try to do is uplift the community. We recognize and celebrate people. It's not that hard to be nice."

Taiwan's Election: Stakes, Parties, and AccusationsThe stakes in Taiwan's election are high, given that Beijing sees the self-ruling island as a breakaway province and has vowed to take it back — by force, if necessary. Taiwan's ruling Democratic Progressive Party, or DPP, embraces a more independent stance, and its supporters tend to believe in U.S. willingness to assist Taiwan. The opposition Kuomingtang party, or KMT, favors greater engagement with China. Its supporters are more likely to question the trustworthiness of the U.S. There's also the Taiwan People's Party. Founded in 2019, its supporters are mostly young voters who distrust the two major parties. The Taiwanese government has accused China of interfering in the election campaign to boost the chances of opposition candidates who favor closer ties with Beijing. Observers back Taipei's accusations, with reports that China has mounted a massive hybrid warfare campaign that includes ramping up military activity, imposing trade sanctions, and running a mammoth disinformation operation online
