Actor Jeff Goldblum is one interesting guy. Sure, he may wow us with roles like Dr. Ian Malcom in the Jurassic Park<\/em> and Jurassic World<\/em> franchises, but he\u2019s always mixing things up, trying his hand at everything from starring as the Wizard of Oz in the Wicked<\/em> franchise<\/a> to putting out an album with his jazz band. Unsurprisingly, Goldblum likes variety in other parts of his life, too, especially the kitchen.\n<\/p>\n In a 2011 Reddit AMA<\/a> (Ask Me Anything) thread, fans asked Goldblum all sorts of questions about everything from his favorite jazz musician (Thelonious Monk) to the best advice he\u2019s ever received (\u201cfill your days with what you love doing.\u201d) And Goldblum went all-in, encouraging fans to ask away and claiming to be an \u201copen-faced sandwich.\u201d\n<\/p>\n Sidetracked by sandwich talk, one redditor asked Goldblum the all-important question: “What’s your favorite kind of sandwich?\u201d Like his choices of roles, the actor\u2019s answers were all over the place, in the best and most Goldblum way possible.\n<\/p>\n \u201cOooooooooh. SANDWICH. OH MY GOSH,\u201d he wrote. \u201cOh my gosh. I love sandwiches.\u201d<\/em>\n<\/p>\n But Goldblum\u2019s go-to sammy has changed a lot throughout his 72 years.\n<\/p>\n \u201cWhen I was a kid, every day I had a bacon-lettuce-tomato sandwich,\u201d he shared. \u201cThen at some point I switched to tuna fish sandwiches. Then turkey and Swiss with Russian dressing. Now I try to stay in the healthier vein, but I love every moment of my sandwich life.\u201d\n<\/p>\n Turkey, swiss and Russian dressing between two slices of bread sounds delightful to us. Not only is it a simple, four-ingredient sandwich\u2014it packs some health benefits, too. Deli turkey<\/a> is a great source of protein<\/a>, packing 6 grams of protein per slice, and Swiss cheese<\/a> has more protein than an egg (8 grams per ounce) and nearly 40% of the recommended daily value of vitamin D. And, while bread<\/a> gets a bad rap at times, it\u2019s actually a good source of fiber<\/a> and nutrients like iron and folate when consumed in moderation.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n If Goldblum\u2019s other two favorite sammies sound good to you, consider a few of our favorite recipes, like Miranda Lambert\u2019s protein- and apple-packed tuna salad<\/a> or a BLT served Sandra Bullock-style<\/a> with a higher ratio of bacon and lettuce to tomato. Or, if none of these are jumping out at you, there\u2019s always Bruce Springsteen\u2019s favorite, a 3 a.m. PB&J<\/a>, or Kate Winslet\u2019s fav: a grilled cheese<\/a> made with cheddar cheese and lots of butter.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n If, like Goldblum, you\u2019re trying to stay in \u201cthe healthier vein\u201d these days, there are also some EatingWell-approved takes on the turkey-Swiss-dressing sandwich. Of course, you could add in some deliciously savory sauerkraut for an extra gut-healthy and Reuben-inspired twist<\/a>\u2014or you could try our tasty Vegetarian Reubens with Russian Dressing<\/a> or our Ultimate Turkey-Avocado Sandwich<\/a>.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n Regardless of their own favorite sandwiches, Goldblum\u2019s fans loved his quirky response to their question. \u201cI cannot explain the glee this has filled me with,\u201d said one. Another optimistically commented: \u201cMy Sandwich Life<\/em> hosted by Jeff Goldblum coming to the Food Network this fall.\u201d\u00a0\n<\/p>\n
