Welcome to another exciting episode of " What's That Sandwich?" This sandwich is corned, smoked jackfruit, which I call Jackstrami, served with sauerkraut, melted mozzarella cheese, and "secret sauce" containing chipotle mayonnaise, plain kefir,relish, regular mayo, and a drop of dijon mustard, on rye bread.

King Donuts, in Seattle's Rainier Beach neighborhood( 9232 Rainier Ave S.) and The Local 907(907 S. 3rd St, Renton) both made the national news over the last few days. The owners of the King Donut( and teriyaki and laundromat) , Heng and Chia Pol Hay,were robbed and beaten as they were locking up for the night. They're in the hospital recovering.

Rainier Beach is not considered one of Seattle's more desirable neighborhoods, but King Donut has been a community treasure, a haven with a very diverse clientele.
