Awesome Sandwiches

We like to make our own sandwiches. But a store-bought sandwich might have to do when you’re in a pinch. This video from How It’s Made takes us inside a factory that cranks out sandwiches, where humans and machines work hand-in-robo-hand to create lunches for thousands every day. Yep, there’s a robot designed solely to apply mayonnaise.

YouTuber 研師Ryota gives us a lot in just a minute. He cut a loaf of bread into slices that are thinner than your typical sliced cheese. He then alternately piled them with cheese slices before grilling them. Mouthwatering ASMR. Now, to find a knife like that.

There are chefs with knife skills, then there’s Ryota Togishi. In this clip, the kitchen blademaster shows off his skills by cutting impossibly thin slices of bread, tomato, cucumber, and bacon. An extra-sharp Japanese knife certainly helps, but it also takes incredible dexterity to cut with such precision.

Please enjoy this hilariously weird little stop-motion short of a tiny pig devouring a sandwich, accompanied by the most infectiously irritating music since Nyan Cat. Apparently, this little piggy has quite the appetite.

Mechanical engineer Kuroki Yuto and his collaborators came up with a novel use for a 3D printer mechanism – using the 3-axis machine to manipulate and assemble parts. In this video, they show how the system can be used to put together a sandwich. They used the same technique to assemble a toy car and to fold a shirt.

If you really wanted to turn a Subway sandwich into a smoothie, you just need a blender and a little bit of water. But the Hydraulic Press Channel marches to the beat of a different drummer and prefers to mush up their footlongs with a 150-ton press and their Smoothie Maker 1,000,000, which might need a little work.

Sometimes you don’t have the time to get up and go to the kitchen to fix a sandwich. Joseph’s Machines solved that problem by building a series of silly Rube Goldberg machines to assemble and deliver a peanut butter and jelly sandwich right to his mouth. We love how he worked his dog into the jelly machine.

Parkway Bakery & Tavern makes the best authentic New Orleans po’ boys. If you’re craving that crispy french bread and delicious fillings, then head to Goldbelly, who’s offering a variety of goodies from Parkway, including Roast Beef and fried shrimp po’ boys, as well as jambalaya, and their yummy hot butter rum cake.

Kevin James cooks up another one of life’s simple pleasures, a double-decker peanut butter and jelly sandwich on toasted white bread, with potato chips, and a cold glass of whole milk. He makes it look so good that we’re gonna fix ourselves one of these childhood delights for lunch.

Pop Chart’s mouth watering wall graphic depicts deconstructions of over 50 sandwiches from different cultures, from the peanut butter and jelly and sloppy joe to the banh mi and po’ boy. Measures 24″ x 18″ and available unframed, framed, or board-mounted.

You’d think that when you say you want half a sandwich, it would simply take a straight cut down the middle to get your 50/50 share. But Numberphile explains how it’s not quite that simple of a task if you really want exactly half. Now how to apply theory to reality…

The Hydraulic Press Channel finally gets around to something they should have done by now – taking a giant Dagwood sandwich and gradually smooshing it with thousands of pounds of force to see if they can make it small enough to fit in your mouth to eat.

Binging with Babish takes on another classic movie meal by replicating Rodney Dangerfield’s improvised delicacy from Back to School – a sandwich made from small food – including deviled eggs, meatballs, and spanakopita, stuffed into a big hunk of Italian bread.

Epicurious presents a quick and easy way to make a whole batch of delicious grilled cheese sammies at the same time. We imagine you could use the same trick for panini or perfect garlic toast.
