This is my 6th recipe post for #SeriousSandwich, a promotion for Emeril Lagasse’s new cookbook Kicked-Up Sandwiches. As a side to a terrific sandwich, like those made in the last three weeks by the 22 bloggers in the promotion, you might consider Emeril’s Classic Cole-Slaw (page 66).

I made a batch to go with my Roast Beef “Debris” Po’ Boy shown here.

Use this tasty cole-slaw on BBQ Sliders like my Virtual Potluck friend Matt did at  Thyme In Our Kitchen (above photo), on hotdogs, or a variety of tacos (below). It adds a fresh element to any meal.
