Do you make a killer sandwich that has your friends begging for more? If so, we want to hear about it! We're asking for recipes for cold sandwiches, using great local breads and other ingredients, and preferably with a unique twist. We need them within the next couple weeks. The new food magazine, The 45th, will be writing an article for next summer, but will be doing a photo shoot soon. They'll include the recipes there. So come on up north foodies, what do you have?
