If you’re going to spend the time creating a delicious summertime sandwich, you may as well take that extra minute to also enter it in the $25,000 Make That Sandwich Contest! I mean, why wouldn’t you? You’ve got better sandwich competitions to enter? I think not, now keep reading…
It’s you against the world, bu it’s also chef against chef! Whilst thousands of would-be sandwich artists will submit their own masterpieces (c’mon Bite of the Best readers, represent!), seven celebrity chefs (Jamie Oliver & Michael Symon, amongst a few others) will also be battling it out to win $10K for their favorite charity.

Thank you, Bite of the Best, for my wonderful Hamilton Beach food processor. I couldn’t wait to open it , and it now sits proudly on my counter. Alas, it’s been to hot to cook, even in AC, so I’ve made just a quick salsa so far, but it did a great job. I’ll post more as I use it for more complicated food prep. Its two tones are stainless steel and black, so it matches my new kitchen with its stainless trim and black appliances perfectly.

This has got to be a great sandwich and sure beats spilling a hot cup of coffee in my lap while at the drive-thru to pick up some extra change.
