We’ve been into competition since Abel and Cain, but, fortunately, not
all face-offs end so finally. Sometimes it just means we get great
sandwiches, as was the case at the Santa Barbara Sandwich Showdown, held
at Whole Foods Market on February 3. The trio of contestants was as
follows: Clay Lovejoy, co-owner of Three Pickles; Paul Shields, owner of
Savoy Café & Deli; and our amateur entrant, L.J. Washington, an ICU
nurse by trade but a fine cook by way of New Orleans, too. Their job
was to create a sandwich that would wow our judges: Roman Baratiak from UCSB Arts & Lectures, Joanie Hudson from The Santa Barbara Independent,
and Monika Sowizral from Whole Foods. And wow they did, for as judge
Baratiak put it, “The creativity and eclecticism of Santa Barbara’s food
artisans never ceases to amaze. Each of the sandwiches was a winner!”
Want to read the rest then do so at the Indy's site.
P.S. Somehow we had a sandwich contest in which not one contestant used avocado and we didn't get permanently banned from California.
