I was today years old when I learned that National Sandwich Day was yesterday. What is National Sandwich Day? National Sandwich Day is a delicious celebration of one of the most beloved and versatile culinary creations—the sandwich. Whether you prefer the Grilled Cheese Sandwich, a classic BLT, or a Buffalo Chicken Wrap, yesterday would have been the perfect day to indulge in this iconic culinary creation.
Here’s a few ways to celebrate National Sandwich Day:
- Create Your Perfect Sandwich: Experiment with different ingredients, spreads, and bread to craft your ideal sandwich combination.
- Visit a Local Sandwich Shop: Explore your local area for sandwich shops and delis that offer unique and delicious sandwich options. There are plenty in Greensburg and the surrounding area.
- Host a Sandwich Party: Invite friends and family to a sandwich-making party where everyone can build their custom creations. Sounds like a good idea.
- Try International Sandwiches: Venture beyond familiar flavors and sample sandwiches from different cultures and cuisines. A great place to go for this would either be the Strip District or Squirrel Hill. I follow some Pittsburgh food influencers who would definitely do something like this.
- Share Your Favorites: Share your sandwich creations or recommendations on social media using #NationalSandwichDay. Tag those in your stories who you think should see this too.
My Turkey Sandwich Tour has kicked off with the start of the new month. Friday, I stopped at Getgo for lunch and ordered the Pilgrim for lunch. No stranger to Getgo’s seasonal sub, I came away pleased. The mini tour continues up to Thanksgiving. Maybe in my travels to or from Hershey, I will order another holiday themed sandwich. Coming up next on the Turkey Sandwich and Fall Treats mini-tour are Mad Mex for the Gobblerito, and Primanti’s for their Turkey Sandwich. I’m hoping to get to Eat’n Park for a Turkey Sandwich or Turkey Dinner before the big day too.
Finally, today is National Candy Day. It’s fun to discover these holidays that I never knew about until just recently (er, today). I’ll be going to Hershey in a few weeks for the Trans Siberian Orchestra concert. Hopefully, I will find some Hershey’s kisses along the way to aid in my own Christmas haul this season. While I’m off the first week in December, I hope to visit a little candy store in Indiana. As I do my Christmas shopping that week, I look to score some Christmas coffee from Starbucks and even some chocolate where I can find it. Market District or mall kiosk, perhaps?
