I'm a little horrified by this one. Either you don't know how to use a web search, or I don't know what tuna salad is. Both are worrisome, but more so that you aren't allowed to make it at home. In that case, your partner is controlling or pregnant.
She grew up on the coasts, and has strong opinions about how fish should be prepared; ones that don't align with my Midwestern upbringing.
The problem is, a lot of places are saying they serve a tuna salad sandwich, but the sandwich is just tuna, not tuna salad. Searching menus online won't cut it. Hence soliciting personally recommendations.
What are you considering tuna salad? I've never seen a place that just put tuna on a sandwich, normally it's that premixed stuff with mayo only.
It has to, at a bare minimum, have celery or onion mixed in, preferably both. Also common are corn, peas, various herbs, bell peppers, olives, pickled or raw cucumber, or other garden vegetables.
You're never going to find that in a restaurant. You'll have to make it at home.
It's pretty common to see in the Great Plains, in diners and the like.
That's sounds reasonable, but now I'm wondering why your wife would object to that.
Honestly, this reply raises more questions than it answers.
This feels like some Andy Kaufman shit...
Jewel, they got the best
Odd. I wondered why friends from Chicago always order tuna salad whenever they visit.
Might be a bit of a drive, but Burhop's in Hinsdale has a great cranberry tuna salad.
Try Cozy Corner Restaurant in Logan. The pic in Caviar for their tuna salad sandwich looks like it probably has celery in it at minimum. Never heard of corn or peas in tuna salad.
Or just search yelp. There are a bunch of results around the city with photos of the sandwich for you to judge.
I've only ever gotten breakfast at the Cozy, but that's a good suggestion, thanks.
Jimmy John's or subway? I've never cared for the Jimmy John's version, but the subway always was ok.
