Getting advice on how to make a sandwich from a star chef like Bobby Flay may seem like a little bit of overkill; kind of like having Michael Phelps help you with your treading water skills, but as the Iron Chef told us in his intro, making a great sandwich is not as easy as it looks.
My favorite trick was something that I'll be demonstrating in an upcoming Club Sandwich post, regarding a very cool way to slice a sandwich. It's basically cutting the sandwich at an angle and on a bias, but it will but much easier to show than explain.
Stay tuned for upcoming posts dedicated to helping you build your perfect sandwich. Speaking of which, be sure to head over to the Hellmann's website to enter the Build Your Perfect Sandwich Sweepstakes where you can win a $5,000 grocery gift card.
I hope you enjoy the video!

Mitzeflay..wich.
I see what you did there!
Wow, lots of fun you have!
If you don't mind me asking...
What did you do on the other 2 days?
I like the Food Wishes format a lot more than the throw down.
What a fun experience! And, I have to disagree, The Mitzeflaywich has potential...
what a great experience it must have been...how can we be a part of that club? :)
Thanks all!
If it were up to me you would be! ;-)
A question about your sandwich: why would cucumbers be bitter?
Was it "La Venue" or "Le Venue"? With an assortment of Jewish-, Cuban-, and Italian/New-Orlean-inspired sandwiches, I was curious about the ethnic flavor of the establishment itself.
I liked the saxophone ending. I didn't know you played. Did you bring the outfit from San Francisco?

Spidey playing the sax! Genius!
I prefer butter to lite mayonnaise. Not as healthy perhaps but more delicious.
mayonnaise a lot of mayonnaise in this post...>.>
You said the cucumbers were bitter. What did you mean, exactly? I've never heard of a bitter cucumber. Is this a common thing? Are they ALL bitter?
Thanks.
Not unpleasant bitter, just that bitter is the dominate flavor component especially if you leave on the skin.
You can make a better sandwich than Bobby flay any day!!! You the best chef John!
It was great meeting you, John!
Likewise!! Great meeting you. See you on the blogs!
Very interesting stuff, Makes my Botulism Burger and Bacteria Bap look rather pale in comparison.
Spiderman playing a sax? Didn't see that one comming. But you got to meet Bobby Flay, that is so cool!
When I think of sandwich expertise I can't help but think of Douglas Adam's book "Mostly Harmless" for some reason.
Glad you had a good time and thanks for sharing your experience with the rest of us.
Hi, I am new to your blog, and You Tube, but just saw the club sandwich vid.
I worked in a place in the mid 70's that hired a guy who used to own a diner to set up a club sandwich station in the dining room for lunch.
He had every type of toasted bread to choose from, the basic bacon, lettuce , tomato layer, and everything from a burger to tuna salad as the main ingredient. All types of cold cuts, chicken, turkey, and egg salads, fried cod, fried eggs, cheeses etc. All slathered with Hellman's of course. Unless he did a reuben club. with Thousand Island dressing. It was only for one season, but everyone remembers the concoctions he was asked to do.
