In Sandwich King season 5 episode 10, titled "Sky High Sandwiches," host Jeff Mauro takes his sandwich game to new heights by creating towering, gravity-defying sandwiches that are perfect for picnics, parties, and any occasion where you want to impress your guests.
The episode begins with Jeff demonstrating how to make his signature "Sky High Club" sandwich, a three-layer masterpiece that includes grilled chicken, bacon, avocado, and all the classic club sandwich fixings. Jeff also shares his tips for making the perfect grilled chicken, including how to brine it beforehand to keep it juicy and flavorful.
Next, Jeff heads to a local bakery to find the perfect bread for his sky-high sandwiches. He chooses a rustic French loaf with a crunchy crust and soft interior that will hold up well under the weight of his towering creations.
Back in the kitchen, Jeff gets creative with his sandwich fillings, building a "Cuban-inspired" sandwich with ham, roast pork, Swiss cheese, and mustard, as well as a vegetarian "Squash It" sandwich with roasted butternut squash, goat cheese, and arugula.
Throughout the episode, Jeff emphasizes the importance of layering your sandwich ingredients in a way that maximizes flavor and texture. He also shares his "secret weapon" for taking his sandwiches to the next level: pickled vegetables. Jeff makes his own quick-pickled onions and jalapenos, which add a bright, tangy kick to any sandwich.
In addition to his towering sandwiches, Jeff also shows viewers how to make some delicious side dishes to round out their picnic or party spread. He makes a refreshing watermelon salad with feta and mint, as well as a creamy coleslaw with a twist: instead of traditional cabbage, Jeff uses Brussels sprouts for a crunchier, more flavorful slaw.
As always, Jeff's infectious enthusiasm and sense of humor make this episode a joy to watch. Whether you're a seasoned sandwich pro or just looking for some new inspiration, "Sky High Sandwiches" is sure to deliver plenty of delicious ideas and mouth-watering recipes.
