What makes a sandwich? Many will argue it’s the ingredients between the bread or bun that make it delicious, however, others will argue that it’s the bread or bun that holds the ingredients all together.
The second annual Arnold®, Brownberry® and Oroweat® “2015 America’s Better Sandwich” Contest is underway. The contest includes a variety of sandwiches in various categories.
Fifteen finalists have been announced and can be viewed at www.AmericasBetterSandwich.com. Arnold®, Brownberry® and Oroweat® will donate a loaf of bread to Feeding America, its official charitable partner for every vote cast until October 18, 2015.
The five categories include:
• Open-Face Artistry – delicious creations on one slice of bread
• Breakfast in Bread – sandwiches including breakfast favorites
• Love, Healthfully – Using new Healthful® bread
• Creative Classic – Creative spins on classic sandwich creations
• Fueling Good – Sandwiches that include ingredients that help boost energy
"Last year's sandwich recipes were so impressive we decided to expand the whole grain horizons of our fans by introducing three new exciting sandwich categories to this year's contest- 'Love, Healthfully,' 'Breakfast in Bread' and 'Open-Face Artistry'" says Aubrecia Houston, Brand Manager for Arnold®, Brownberry® & Oroweat® Premium Breads. "Once again, we were blown away by the imaginations of our fans and their decisions to meticulously pair some of their favorite ingredients with one of our premium Arnold®, Brownberry® and Oroweat® whole grain bread varieties, including our new Healthfull® breads."
Consumer voting counts for 10 percent of each finalist’s score, with the remaining percentage being evaluated on taste (30 percent), creativity (30 percent) and nutritional analysis (30 percent). Four dietitians will help taste and score each recipe, with the winners of each category being announced on November 3, 2015. Each category winner will be awarded a $5,000 category prize and the recipe with the highest overall score will be awarded a grand prize of $25,000.
