National Sandwich Day


In the United States alone, we have some pretty delicious sandwich inventions. The cheesesteak and sloppy joe are American classics. Don't forget the muffuletta or the Monte Cristo. We love our Po boys and grilled cheese, pork tenderloins, and po'boys, too. However, we can't forget some of these other absolutely delicious options like the BLT, PB&J, Club, and French Dip.

Sandwich FAQ

Q. How do I keep my sandwich from getting soggy when I pack it for lunch?
A. Spread a little bit of butter on each slice before adding the other ingredients. The butter will act as a barrier to prevent moisture from the other ingredients from making your bread soggy. Other options include:

  • Pack the juicer ingredients (like tomatoes) separately and add them to your sandwich at work.
  • Choose a sturdier bread to make your sandwich.
  • Add a layer of lettuce, bean sprouts or cheese to act as a barrier between the bread and the juicier ingredients.

Q. How can I spice up my sandwich routine?
A. Visit your local deli and try different meats and cheeses for your sandwiches. Skip the iceberg lettuce and mix it up with butterhead, romaine, arugula, or radicchio. You can also add seasonings to your spread. If you like mayo, add some garlic, lime juice, and sriracha for something different. Substitute the mayo for avocado seasoned with a garlic herb mix.
