When I turned on the TV this morning I saw a nice little story on the local news about a local 9-year-old who created a sandwich to compete in a national contest sponsored by Jif.
Apparently if he wins the contest he receives a $25,000 scholarship (which will probably only provide him with enough money to cover one year of college in at a NC Public University), but that’s still pretty cool. Since you know that this site loves to review various food items (check the archives for reviews of Chick-fil-A copycat sandwiches), I decided I should say something after trying to make a similar version of the sandwich that is supposed to be made like this:
Technically, the sandwich is hotdog-like, replacing the hotdog with a banana, chili with granola, topping with jelly for the ketchup and diced green grapes for the relish. Adding a layer of peanut butter and honey to the bun is the secret to this finalist’s creation. Browning’s concoction, called PBB Dawg (Peanut Butter Banana Dog), won him a slot in the top 10 finalists in the eighth annual Jif Most Creative Peanut Butter Sandwich Contest.
I had everything but the grapes and a hot dog bun, so I just used a slice of Pepperidge Farm Sourdough and dropped the grapes. Even without these, this was a tasty snack!
The only thing that made me think it could be better was if the banana was fried first and still hot when you ate the sandwich. Thoughts like that really make me think I’ve lived in the south too long….
