corned beef sandwich on board a Gemini flight. Submarine sandwiches
are called “hoagies” in Philadelphia and “heroes” in New York. The

SANDWICH HACKS: HOW TO ENJOY NATIONAL SANDWICH MONTH
When making a BLT, weave the bacon together to avoid the bacon from
falling out when you bite into it. Instead of bread or toast, make your

HOW TO OBSERVE
Try a new sandwich recipe every week and share them on social media!
