Sandwich Smash This Sunday, Win A Pair Of Tickets!

Have we told you about how much we love sandwiches? In our travels around Philadelphia, we have found incredibly talented chefs who share that love, and we have convinced them to share it with you at Sandwich Smash 2009. This is not your typical tasting event, where you walk around nipping on bite sized samples of food. No, this is an evening of sandwiches and storytelling, where the audience will sit and watch as Esquire Magazine food editor Ryan D’Agostino interviews the chefs as they tell the secrets behind and show how to prepare their signature sandwiches. Think Inside the Actors Studio meets Food Network, a glamorous show with five courses of sandwiches, each paired with a beer from Michelob Brewing Company and chips from Herr’s, dessert will be provided by Capogiro Gelato. Proceeds from the event will benefit Philabundance, the Delaware Valley’s largest hunger relief organization.

As part of the event, we are launching sandwiches fight hunger: a peanut butter and jelly food drive for Philabundance. Our goal is for people to donate something as simple as peanut butter to help Philabundance feed hungry families.

Participating chefs include: Michael Solomonov (Zahav), Arthur Cavaliere (Parc), Peter McAndrews (Paesano’s), Rick Olivieri (Rick’s Steaks) and Mark Coates (Bebe’s Barbecue).

Tickets are still available, but hit the jump for a chance to win a spot at this exciting event for you and one guest!
