Saint Dinette chef Adam Eaton immerses his bologna sandwich ($11) in more nostalgia than your average high school reunion, although Oscar Mayer never tasted this good, not by a long shot. Eaton, a rising star if there ever were one, starts with first-rate pork shoulder, warming it with ginger, allspice and cinnamon, slicing it thick, frying it to a mouthwatering sizzle, stacking it high on toasted, lavishly buttered buns and blanketing it with a harmonious Gruyère/sharp Cheddar combo. It's the sandwich that's surely torpedoed a thousand diets. 261 E. 5th St., St. Paul, 651-800-1415, saintdinette.com
