Fried Bologna Sandwich

Bologna like you've never experienced. If you've been to the spring festival Tulip Time in Pella, Iowa, you've heard of and experienced the infamous bologna sandwich. It comes around only 3 days a year, so you're left with the remaining 362 days of the year to recreate its goodness. It's simply fried bologna and gouda cheese. Why is it so popular?! It's tried and true... a touch of Holland... and filled with nostalgia. The great part of this recipe is that it's not really a recreation... rather it grew up, and graduated into a new identity. Additional toppings, added flavors, and new textures recreate the old classic into a modern sandwich marvel.
