Home of the Sandwich

London, home of a hegemonic history that visibly stretches forth from its grand architecture to its proud people. “Come, flourish, and thrive!” London shouts from the majestic castles and city parks, and Chef Joe and Chef Andy plan to do so via their daily lunches.

Chef Andy’s team visited the history books, not the local pubs, first. And what they walked into was astounding. England, it turns out, is the proud parent of the sandwich! Amazing, for Chef Andy continually turns to the sandwich for award winning meals that sometimes even get decent scores from the not so impartial Lunch Wars judge.

So what better to turn to for the first London lunch then a sandwich? And what better place to look for a sandwich then England’s own grocery store chain, Sainsburys. There Chef Andy was confronted with a glorious challenge, that of picking the best sandwich to complement the somewhat horrific drink both Chef’s chose to pre-cook with, a 2-liter plastic bottle containing an alcoholic cider (Strongbow).

The champion sandwich of the day ended up being an artistic blend of sausage, egg, and peppers on fresh, pre-packaged whole wheat bread. This served not only to quell the taste of the meals beverage, but also to provide sustenance for what was to come. More on that later this week on Lunch Wars.

Eat well,
Chef Andy
