THE LAST SANDWICH
SANDWICH NEWS
During those cold, winter days in Chicago, I remember calling Jimmy John's about a hundred times to get my daily fix of the Vito, along with some barbecue potato chips (and two cans of Dr. Pepper). Within 20 minutes, they would be at my door. Seriously, I still have dreams about their barbecue potato chips, and if you order from them, get at least two bags (one is never enough).
Sandwich Hall Of Fame
If there was a Sandwich Hall of Fame, then the Vito Italiano would automatically be inducted their 1st year. It's rare that a fast-food franchise would make such a delicious sandwich, and maintain its quality for so many years. In some ways, the Vito Italiano is the Tom Brady of sandwiches in terms of quality and longevity.
When made right, the Vito Italiano Sandwich from Jimmy John's is out of this world. All the perfect ingredients, salami, capicola, provolone cheese, tomato, onion, lettuce, vinegar, and orgeno-basil. It's one of the main things that I miss about America.
The First Sandwich
This may have been the first sandwich to ever make our Last Sandwich list. It was so omnipresent in our sandwich world for so long, that it has reached legendary status.
So, when we ask the eternal question, would we choose this as our Last Sandwich? Well, the answer is as clear as day... Yes!
Hmmm... I also wonder if they will ship the barbecue potato chips overseas?
Celebrated during the 3rd week of May. It was created by The British Sandwich & Food to Go Association. According to their web site, members range from supermarkets and food to go manufacturers to sandwich bars, cafes and the suppliers of ingredients and equipment for the industry.
What does The British Sandwich & Food To Go Association do?
In addition to representing the interests of its members to Government, the Association also sets industry standards and organises events such as British Sandwich Week and the annual British Sandwich & Food To Go Industry Awards, also known as the ‘Sammies’.

It's not uncommon to see Sandwich Stands in the work districts of Taipei. Somtimes they are mobile, and integrated into motorbikes or small trucks. Other times, they are home-made vendor carts on wheels.

As promised, we finally took the time to examine HamsandwicH and all of their music in detail, and it sent us on an amazing journey.
We listened to their three studio albums (Carry the Meek, White Fox, and Stories from the Surface), and made our Top 25 List of HamsandwicH songs. One interesting thing about our list is that when you re-sort the table by year, the best songs are evenly distributed between the three albums, which shows a consistant body of work. In our opinion, HamsandwicH is a really good band that has longevity. Hopefully, they stick around for a while and create more great music!
Note: HamsandwicH just released a new album, and we will be updating this list soon.
