Some sandwiches are content to be lunch. This one has bigger ambitions. Built on a toasted ACE Bakery focaccia roll — golden and crisp at the edges, soft and pillowy within — it layers juicy grilled chicken, crispy bacon, cool romaine, ripe tomato, and creamy avocado, all tied together with a Caesar sauce bold enough to hold it all together. A little Greek yogurt keeps it bright, a hit of lemon keeps it honest, and the Parmesan and Dijon make sure it stays unmistakably Caesar.
