Bob's Sandwich Challenge: Round 3

Check me out! I'm eating sandwiches! At this rate, it'll only take us 3 or 4 years to declare an overall victor in Bob's Sandwich Challenge. Life is hard.

Todays battle brought together two strong contenders: Roast Beef vs. Proscuitto and Mozzarella. Proscuitto and Mozzarella happens to be my favorite Bob's Sandwich so far but Roast Beef is an old favorite too. We topped the Roast Beef with all toppings (except onions) and got the Proscuitto and Mozzarella as is (with tomatoes, basil, and some olive oil).

Roast Beef	Proscuitto & Mozzarella

The Roast Beef was pretty amazing. A bite by itself revealed that Bob, in fact, does know his meats. The beef was perfectly cooked and still moist with that really great taste that comes from fully cooked but still slightly rare Roast Beef. It was only enhanced by the tang of the pickles and the spice of the hots - my favorite bites consisted of a little bit of it all to really bring all the flavors together.

But, (and it's a big one!) every time I transitioned from the Roast Beef to the Proscuitto and Mozzarella, it was like taking a step towards heaven. There's just something magnificent about the combo of the salty Proscuitto, creamy mozzarella, acidic tomatoes and fresh, delicious bread. It's light but tasty and I just want to eat it all the time.

In the end, we gave this round to Proscuitto and Mozzarella. No one is surprised that I chose that sandwich but I was intrigued to see how Nate netted out here. While he may not have been quite as emphatic about the heavenly characteristics of the Proscuitto and Mozzarella, he too agreed that it's near sandwich perfection.
