Welcome to Day #22 of the AoM sandwich project. Last month we asked readers for their best sandwich recommendations. Out of 483 submissions, we picked 20 to highlight here on the site each weekday during the month of April. At the end, we\u2019ll publish all the entries into an epic man-sandwich cookbook. Enjoy.<\/em><\/p>\n Today the AoM Month of Sandwiches draws to a close. But we’re definitely going out with a bang. I saved this sandwich for last because 1) its epicness was well-suited to being the last entry, 2) I’ve always wanted to try a humungous Dagwood Bumstead-style sandwich and never have, and 3) with its inclusion of Ruffles potato chips, it brings us back full circle to the sandwich that started it all<\/a>.<\/p>\n Jayme calls this sandwich the “All-American.” I think of it as “The Dagwood,” since it’s right up that comic character’s alley. So I’ve dubbed it “The All-American Dagwood.” Let’s see what a sandwich that requires a skewer to hold together tastes like.<\/p>\n Lay out the three slices of sourdough. Smear two of them with mustard and one with mayonnaise. Jayme recommends a tablespoon of each condiment for each slice, but I just eyeballed it according to my personal taste.<\/p>\n I also added my pepperoni here.<\/p><\/div>\n I used two wooden skewers (standard toothpicks weren’t long enough) to secure this sandwich monster and then cut off the ends with scissors. Then I added two green olives to the skewers. Ring-a-ding ding!<\/p><\/div>\nToday\u2019s Sandwich: The All-American Dagwood by Jayme<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\nOverall, this sandwich was delicious. How could it not be? It’s just delicious stuff, stacked on top of delicious stuff, stacked on top of some more delicious stuff. It wasn’t the easiest thing in the world to eat, of course; it felt like holding a softball and eating a giant piece of fruit — I had to keep taking bites all around it. I probably wouldn’t make it again only because I won’t likely have all the ingredients on hand on a given day. But I did get to fulfill a dream of eating a giant sandwich like Dagwood Bumstead. Now I need to partake in another Dagwood ritual, a nap on the couch…<\/p>\n
