Tyler Florence’s Sandwich Showdown — NYC Wine & Food Festival
October 13, 2010 | 1 min to read
"Did you know you could have this much fun between two slices of bread?" asked chef Tyler Florence during Sunday's New York City Wine & Food Festival's Ultimate Sandwich Showdown (sponsored by Breville USA and Hellmann's mayonnaise). Florence played host as New York chefs pulled out all the stops to make the dream sandwich, using everything from lobster to oxtail to Italian-style pork loin. To vote, attendees dropped tokens they were given into mayonnaise jars placed at the sandwich-maker of their choice.
In the end, it was Blue Ribbon's bone-marrow and oxtail marmalade sandwich with a side of cucumber salad that took the Showdown's best-in-show, and Florence presented the chefs and staff with a $2,500 prize.
