Being a "sandwich gourment", I loved the show. I thought the idea of
taking a food form that most serious cooks wouldn't even think about
and showing the high art that it can be was great. It gave me some
great ideas for sandwiches, and some equally great ideas for places to
eat when I travel. I've seen the show years ago and was hoping it would
run again. I highly reccommend it (could you guess?). It's not just fun
because of the great sandwiches but also the neat people they interview
in the sandwich shops. No snobs here! But a lot of average kind of
people with fierce loyalties to the places where they get great food at
really reasonable prices. Just a really fun show.
