Ep 13. BBQ Bonanza

In Sandwich King season 2 episode 13, titled "BBQ Bonanza," viewers are taken on a delicious journey through the world of barbecue-inspired sandwiches.

Host Jeff Mauro starts off the episode by paying a visit to a local BBQ joint to get inspiration for his sandwich creations. He orders up some mouth-watering brisket and pulled pork, and makes note of the various sauces and toppings that are used to enhance the flavors of the meat.

Back in the Sandwich King kitchen, Jeff gets to work on his first creation: a pulled pork sandwich with coleslaw and a spicy BBQ sauce. He starts by toasting up some brioche buns, then piles on a generous portion of tender pulled pork and a heaping scoop of creamy coleslaw. To finish it off, he drizzles on a homemade hot sauce made with cherry peppers, habaneros, and honey.

Next, Jeff turns his attention to a classic BBQ staple: the smoked brisket sandwich. He slices up some smoky, melt-in-your-mouth brisket and tops it with crispy fried onions and a tangy mustard BBQ sauce. To add a bit of freshness and crunch, he also adds some sliced pickles and arugula to the mix.

For his third sandwich, Jeff decides to mix things up a bit with a Korean BBQ-inspired creation. He marinates some thin-sliced beef in a sweet and savory sauce made with soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic, and ginger. Once the meat is nice and flavorful, he grills it up and piles it onto a brioche bun with some quick-pickled cucumbers and a spicy mayo sauce.

Finally, Jeff gets a little playful with his last sandwich, creating a BBQ twist on a classic breakfast sandwich. He starts with a freshly baked biscuit, then tops it with a crispy pork belly slice, a fried egg, and a generous drizzle of maple syrup and hot sauce.

Throughout the episode, Jeff's enthusiasm for all things BBQ shines through, as he shares tips and tricks for smoking and grilling meats, and shows viewers how to make their own homemade BBQ sauces and rubs. With its hearty and flavorful creations, "BBQ Bonanza" is sure to leave viewers feeling inspired to fire up the grill and get creative with their sandwich-making skills.
