The Reuben. The Monte Cristo. The Dagwood. The Muffaletta. Sandwiches have so much personality we give them their own names. As a beloved staple of American cuisine, there could be no World Food Championships if the sandwich was not represented.

The World Sandwich Championship will pit 50 of the world’s best sandwich-smiths against each other for the title of World Sandwich Champion. Home cooks, restaurateurs and chefs will all compete to see whose cuisine reigns supreme. The champion will then take their winning stack to the Final Table for a chance to win the World Food Championship.
