So I have a super fun BIG announcement coming on WJWE soon. I can’t tell y’all quite yet, but I will let you know I will be pretty darn broke as a result of this reveal. What’s a gal to do? Make an award winning sandwich, that’s what! When I got word of the Mezzetta Make That Sandwich Contest, I knew it had my name written all over it. Well my name and $25,000! And what could be more award-winning that a mega Jew-wich with all the fixings? Absolutely nothing. Part of the contest was to use at least two Mezzetta products, but that wasn’t hard in the least! They have a great range of products from pestos to artichokes to olives. Yum! I decided to take my brisket from last week and add in some homemade challah and a few other magical ingredients. OMG this sandwich is so tasty! Award winning even.

First you start with challah…

Add some tasty condiments…

    A winning sandwich it should be. Jew 🙂 should be proud! Sounds like you will need that $25,000! What kind of onion did Jew use?

    As a pretty sheltered goy, I had never had challah until I met my oh so handsome Jewish man and now I am obsessed! With this I was able to combine my challah obsession with my equal love of brisket!! Thanks for helping this shiksa keep her man happy 🙂
    Jew Rock!
