Made for the love of lunch.

Show Me a Sandwich is an independent food-discovery project. Choose your eating style and ingredient exclusions, then ring the bell to build a sandwich one component at a time.

The generator uses animated ingredient names and flavor-family rules. Results are untested meal ideas, not chef-tested recipes. The separate Sandwich Hall preserves familiar reference sandwiches and credited serving-example photographs; pictured preparations may differ.

How the counter works

Choose Anything goes, Meat & fish, Vegetarian, or Vegan and optional exclusions. Pick Classic, Adventurous, or Chaos, then reveal eight components. Afterward, select one component and ring again for one replacement. Save, download, or share your result. The Lunch Ledger keeps the last eight results on this browser only. Filters are not an allergen-safety guarantee; check product labels and preparation conditions. This is not a food-ordering service.

Photo use

Photographers retain the rights described by each image license. See Photo Credits for the source, creator, license, and adaptation notes. Appearance here does not imply endorsement.

Contact & corrections

Have a sandwich suggestion, a correction, an accessibility issue, or a photo-credit question? Include the sandwich name and a source link where possible.

Privacy

This notice describes the Show Me a Sandwich discovery site operated by Jacob Kalman.

Your lunch ledger stays on your device

The generator stores your recent sandwich results, ingredient-filter preferences, and sound/animation settings in browser local storage using smg- keys. It reads them to restore your Lunch Ledger and preferences. The prior archive shortlist may remain under smas-shortlist-v1. They remain until you remove them, clear site data, or your browser removes them. This storage is separate for each browser and website address.

Clear site data through your browser settings to remove saved results and preferences. If storage is blocked, the counter works and favorites last only for the current visit.

Builder and clipboard

Result links encode sandwich ingredients and selected filters in the URL. Anyone with the link can view them; the URL may also appear in browser history, hosting logs, and services where you share it. Do not treat result links as private. Copy link writes to your clipboard only when you press it; it does not read your clipboard. Native sharing and card downloads happen only when requested.

Hosting, photos, and external links

The site host and image host receive ordinary connection information, such as an IP address, requested resource, browser information, and request time, to deliver their services. When photos load directly from Wikimedia, Wikimedia receives those requests. If we host the photos ourselves, the selected asset host receives them instead. Credit and reference links lead to external services with their own privacy practices.

We use PostHog for cookieless usage analytics, including page views and generator interactions. Session replay and automatic form/click capture are disabled. Generator events do not deliberately include dietary selections; URL query strings are removed from analytics event properties. The application includes no advertising pixels, newsletter signup, accounts, payment processing, or tracking cookies. Hosting services may separately process technical data for delivery and security. See Carrd’s privacy notice and Wikimedia’s privacy notice.

If you contact us

When the contact form is enabled, we receive the name, reply email address, and message you submit. Carrd processes the submission and delivers it to our private inbox. Our email provider processes and stores the resulting correspondence. The receiving address is not included in the public site code. We use it to respond and resolve the issue, and retain it only as needed for those purposes or applicable obligations. Please do not send sensitive personal information.

Your choices and questions

You may request access, correction, or deletion of correspondence we hold about you, subject to applicable requirements. We cannot retrieve a shortlist stored only on your device. We do not sell personal information or use this application to share personal information for targeted advertising.

This is a general-audience site. We do not knowingly solicit personal information from children. Contact us if you believe a child sent us personal information so we can address it.

Changes

We will update this notice and its date if our practices change. New analytics, forms, advertising, or accounts require a corresponding notice update before activation.

Terms of Use

Show Me a Sandwich is an independent discovery and creativity project operated by Jacob Kalman. By using the site, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please do not use it.

Ideas, not food orders

The counter offers sandwich ideas and suggested preparations for personal use. It does not sell, prepare, or deliver food. An order ticket is a creative record, not a transaction, reservation, or instruction sent to a restaurant.

Ingredients and preparation

Recipes and photographs are illustrative and may differ in bread, toppings, proportions, or preparation. We do not guarantee that a combination is suitable for your allergies, dietary needs, or circumstances. Check each product’s ingredient label, consider cross-contact, and use safe food-handling practices. Vegetarian labels assume appropriate versions of cheese, pesto, sauces, and other packaged ingredients.

Cooking suggestions are not comprehensive food-safety instructions. Follow product instructions and FoodSafety.gov guidance when preparing food. Children should have suitable adult help with knives, heat, and food preparation.

Creative work and third-party photos

You may use and share the text tickets you create for personal purposes. Our original branding, site design, and editorial content remain protected by applicable law. Third-party photographs have their own licenses, which control their reuse. The Photo Credits page identifies those licenses; these terms do not restrict rights granted under them. A photo or external link does not imply endorsement or affiliation.

Acceptable use

Do not use the site to break the law, interfere with its operation, introduce harmful code, or misrepresent another person’s work as your own. Do not imply that a generated ticket is a real restaurant order or an endorsement.

Availability and limitations

We aim to keep the counter useful, but do not promise uninterrupted availability, error-free content, or permanent preservation of local favorites. The site is provided as available. To the extent permitted by applicable law, we disclaim implied warranties and are not responsible for indirect or consequential losses arising from its use. Nothing here excludes liability or consumer rights that cannot lawfully be excluded.

Updates and contact

We may revise these terms as the project changes and will update the date above. Questions, corrections, and rights concerns can be sent through the contact form on the About / Contact page.

Photo Credits

Real photographs, credited to their creators. Each photo represents a sandwich type; the preparation shown may differ from our suggested build. Ingredient diagrams and logos are made with code.

Downloaded photos have been resized and JPEG compressed without generative edits. Their individual licenses continue to apply to the supplied photo files. Source versions may already include edits; see the source’s history. No photographer or restaurant is presented as endorsing this project.

Corrections and rights questions

Please identify the photograph and describe the correction or concern.
