For much of my life, mayonnaise had a fixed role.

But what if I told you that mayonnaise, in its full, unapologetic glory, is having a renaissance?

One version of George Foreman had only mayonnaise sandwiches to eat at school.

Embarrassed at living in chronic poverty — his school lunches often were mayonnaise sandwiches — he set out to remedy the situation, shoplifting, intimidating students for their lunch money, mugging people in the street.

In Han’s cookbook “Stacked,” he adds the perfect crisps to a stellar turkey sandwich with pesto, red onions, pickled banana pepper and Calabrian mayonnaise.
