Heroic sandwiches with Grand names like the Atomic Greekamole Gyro Slammer (from The Red Olive, pictured above) lock horns with more simply named sandwiches like The Situation (from Slow's Bar B Q, shown below). It's always fun to peruse the sandwich page at the Grandwich site to see what concoctions are chefs have come up with this year.

Early discussions on some of the best sandwiches so far have emerged on Reddit, but it's best to taste as many as you can on your own to greater appreciate what a Grandwich should be.

Bon Appetit!
