This one is owed to Billy Ivey and Ted McCoig because I loved the way they named it, and we love them because they, our branding guys for Good Stuff Eatery, gave the place its vibe. This is a shout-out to those who want to come in and don't want to eat a salad. We love you too.

In a roasting pan, place mushrooms, stem side up. Roast for 20 minutes or until soft.

Take 1 mushroom and stuff with 2 slices of each cheese and place another mushroom on top, to make a sandwich.

Place a sauté pan on medium heat with 2 cups of olive oil.

Lightly beat eggs in one bowl.

Set yourself up with another 2 bowls—1 of flour and 1 of breadcrumbs.

Flour mushrooms, put into egg mixture to coat, then into breadcrumbs.

Gently place breaded mushrooms into hot oil with slotted spoon, being careful not to splash yourself.

Cook until golden brown on each side. Remove and place onto a paper-lined dish.

Sprinkle with salt and pepper.

Slice tomato into 4 pieces. Pickle into small rounds, and cut onion into thin slices.

In the meantime, toast potato buns in a toaster or a pan with a tablespoon of butter.
