Sandwiches usually get a bad rap as waistline enhancers, but Jeff's out to change that perception with a little help from friends Greg O'Neill and Ken Miller at Chicago sandwich shop Pastoral. Jeff's been watching what he eats, and he knows that lighter ingredients and healthier preparations add up to sandwiches that cut calories and fat, while still delivering on taste and satisfaction. After hanging with the guys at Pastoral, Jeff heads back to his kitchen, where he uses flatbread as a foil for vibrant grilled veggies and uses tortillas to wrap up a refreshing chicken salad. Spring pasta salad rounds out this menu, which is as healthy as it is tasty.
