Now, you've had a good sandwich in your day. Here in Fort Lauderdale, LaSpada's and My Market and Deli make some of the finest. But regular folks can become sandwich artisans too. If you've ever created a kitchen-sink concoction you're proud of, you could be a winner.
A company based in Napa, California, called Mezzetta has set up a little contest where you, amateur Dagwood that you are, can bust out a little (or big!) something that might just stick you in a higher tax bracket next year.

Entries are judged on appearance, taste, creativity -- and use of Mezzetta products. Better get to it before Blondie comes home and ruins everything.
