Ep 14. Holiday Sandwiches

In this episode of Sandwich King, host Jeff Mauro is getting into the holiday spirit with a lineup of festive sandwiches. First up is a Thanksgiving-inspired sandwich that incorporates all the classic flavors of the holiday. Think turkey, stuffing, cranberry sauce, and gravy all piled high on a fresh roll. Jeff's tip for this sandwich is to use a nice crispy bread to contrast with the soft and creamy filling.

Next, Jeff turns his attention to the winter holiday season with a sandwich that incorporates all the best flavors of Christmas. He starts with a base of gingerbread waffles, then adds a layer of sliced ham, apple butter, and cheddar cheese. The final touch is a drizzle of maple syrup and a sprinkling of powdered sugar. Jeff's advice for this sandwich is to make sure you have a good balance between sweet and savory flavors.

For his last holiday sandwich, Jeff takes inspiration from Hanukkah and creates a riff on the classic latke. He starts by making a latke out of shredded potato, then adds a layer of smoked salmon, crème fraîche, and chopped chives. To amp up the holiday feel, he also includes a few slices of pickled beets on top. Jeff recommends serving this sandwich open-faced so everyone can see the gorgeous layers of colorful ingredients.

In addition to these three sandwiches, Jeff also shares some tips and tricks for making the perfect holiday sandwich. For example, he suggests using leftover turkey or ham from your holiday feast to make a delicious sandwich instead of just reheating it for another meal. He also recommends using festive breads like gingerbread or cranberry walnut to really amp up the holiday flavor.

Throughout the episode, Jeff's enthusiasm for holiday flavors and ingredients is infectious. You can tell that he's having a great time trying out new combinations and experimenting with different ingredients. And the end results look absolutely delicious. Whether you're looking for a new way to use up leftovers or just want to experience some fun and creative holiday flavors, this episode of Sandwich King is definitely worth a watch.
