Great tips include:  even meat/cheese distribution,  keeping the tomato as far possible from the bread and keep any green in the middle.

If any of my readers should happen themselves to be the next great Sandwich designer, they ought to click profusely on this link and you could become $25,000 richer!

3.  In the quirky Sandwich news file, a robber was recently reported to have left the cash, but stolen the sandwich at, you guessed it, a Subway

4. For those into barely-legal Sandwich porn, Grub Street recently posted a top 101 NYC Sandwich list (and reviews of several locations are coming soon to a Sandwich visual box aka computer/smartphone/ipad/isandwich screen soon!)

And if a thoroughly biting move (see http://canwiches.blogspot.com/2010/03/great-canadian-sandwich-map-beta.html )  an enthusiastic reader seems to have created his own version of the Great American  Sandwich Map, NYC Style

MANDATORY SANDWICH RESERVATIONS

6. Attack of the Killer Sandwiches?



Until next time, I'll continue to keep my finger to the Sandwich pulse.
