We're on our second week of The Piglet! If you just hopped into the fray, make sure to read our recap of week 1. Today it's a battle between breakfast and lunch: Huckleberry and Lunch at the Shop face off, and A.J. Jacobs calls the shots.

Cook the books: While one of today's Piglet contenders is a baking book and the other is all about savory lunch, they do find common ground: in the sandwich. Sure, the Fresh Blueberry Brioche from Huckleberry would be splendid for breakfast or dessert, but author Zoe Nathan also suggests using it as the bread for a Monte Cristo sandwich. The Roasted Tenderloin Sandwich, Extra-Fancy, in Lunch at the Shop is equally, well, fancy.
