Sandwiches have moved way beyond peanut butter and jelly, tuna fish, and ham and swiss on rye. They've become a proving ground for testing new ingredients and flavor combinations, as well as a great option for featuring seasonal trends and produce. To satisfy the palate of today’s consumers, chefs are creating sandwiches that are sophisticated, unique and globally-inspired.
