Diners flock to the Gotham Bar and Grill to eat the chef Alfred Portale’s elegant towers of beautiful food. But on the day after a turkey holiday, he’s just like the rest of us, making sandwiches with leftover meat. Here he combines turkey and stuffing along with lettuce, tomato, thin-sliced red onion and an elegant homemade mayonnaise on crusty Italian bread to update the old white-bread and dark meat special we’ve all had so many times. Adding a smear of cranberry sauce would not be an error.
