Ben Kessler found a way to combine his lifelong interests in technology and the culinary arts as co-creator and Director of Communications for Unbreaded and Sandwich Smash. A fan of fine cured meats and crusty breads, Kessler finds Philadelphia to be the perfect home, and Italian hoagies, the perfect sandwiches. It is the history behind sandwiches and the stories they tell that captures Ben’s interest in all things between bread: “Sandwiches are not only an efficient, easy-to-manage meal, they encapsulate who we are, our personality defined through meat, cheese and condiments."
