Whether
grilled, filled with seasonal fruits and veggies or chilled perfectly for a
picnic, sandwiches are a timeless summer staple. No one knows this better
than renowned Chef Fabio Viviani, who is teaming up with
Arnold/Brownberry/Oroweat Bread to encourage sandwich lovers across America to
enter their favorite “better-for-you” sandwich recipes this summer in the
first-ever “America’s Better Sandwich” Contest.
As a sandwich lover and a stickler for
fresh, seasonal ingredients that let foods’ naturalgoodness shine, Chef
Fabio understands the importance of using whole grain bread as the foundation
of any better-for-you sandwich. His philosophy? Layer the best bread with delicious,
simple and nutritious ingredients to get friends and family asking for
seconds at any summer celebration.
From
June 24 to August 17, 2014, wannabe chefs nationwide can visit www.americasbettersandwich.com to submit up to two
recipes in each sandwich category: Creative Classic, Stealthily Simple,
Fueling Good and Meatless Marvel—all for a grand prize of $25,000 (now that’s
a lot of bread!). Entries will be judged on nutritional quality, unique and
creative flavor and perceived ease of preparation. The winners will be announced
on National Sandwich Day, November 3.
I had a chance to interview Chef Fabio to learn more about the contest, and also tips for making great, healthy sandwiches.
