The sandwich is a simple concept. That’s what I love most about them. It’s all in the eye of the guy beholding the ingredients that decides a sandwiches simplicity or complexity.
On the other hand, even something as simple as a hot dog can become very complicated when you’re feeding 300 people at a ball game. On that level, you’re running a concession, requiring more than a heating element and a jar of mustard. Now you’re in the realm of professional cookware and to some degree, restaurant equipment.
I learned this lesson the hard way when I took on the concession stand at our local little league park last spring. Walking into the rickety little structure for the first time was enough to make me want to cry out “McDonald's for everyone”. The space was devoid of anything resembling cooking equipment. But by then it was too late, I was committed and had to think fast about how best to pull this one off.
My first impulse for surviving this feat was to head for the Internet. Within about 30 seconds I was searching Wasserstrom Restaurant Supplies website where everything I needed popped up onto my screen, in living color, whew! This was going to be awesome.
Before ordering my supplies, I took a little extra time and shopped each item in my order to compare prices. Professional chefs may not have to be concerned with the price of plastic condiment servers, but I certainly was. To my surprise, I was able to stay within my budget for the event, and have since used the same equipment on numerous occasions.

This time, it's all about a sandwich (surprise, surprise!). I know you have a favorite (almost everyone does), and I would love nothing more than to see/read about yours. It doesn't have to be pretty (but it helps) or fancy, just your best effort at making a delicious sandwich and submitting it here within the allotted time frame (ends 12:00 noon EST September 12).



Novices associate Sushi with raw fish (Sashimi) and seaweed (Nori), a big turn-off for most. However, not all Sushi consists of raw fish or seaweed. On the contrary, sashimi and nori are just a small part of a typical Sushi menu.
I've searched it out a little, but can't find any more of a visual that what is pictured on the can. I suppose if I had to feed a five year old, a Canwich would be an option. I'm guessing once you open the can the sandwich is really small and packaged in a see-through bag of sorts. Not very appetizing. All I can think of are rashions.
