Labor Day is the perfect time to enjoy our Hot Sandwich Recipes as a nod to the American worker. Americans love sandwiches. We consume about 300 million of them a day. It’s a little ironic, given that our Declaration of Independence broke us away from Britain, where the modern sandwich was born.
Today, sandwiches take many forms, from burgers and Reubens to banh mi, cheesesteaks, Italian beef sandwiches, piled-high homemade pastrami, BBQ shredded pork, and subs (or heroes, hoagies, grinders, or po’ boys, depending on where you’re from).
This Labor Day, as summer comes to a close, raise a sandwich for the American worker. Laborers from steelworkers and carpenters to electricians, plumbers, machinists, warehouse workers, auto workers, truckers, and office workers help to keep this great country running. And sandwiches often help keep them running!
