Super Sandwiches for the Big Bowl Games

My dad is just days away from hosting a HUGE Sugar Bowl party in honor of the most anticipated college football game ever to be broadcast in the state of Hawaii. On New Year’s Day the Aloha State’s beloved UH Warriors will take on the big Dawgs of Georgia in New Orleans.

In a previous blog I shared two recipes for jambalaya–a traditional New Orleans’ dish–that will be served at various Sugar Bowl parties throughout the state of Hawaii on game day. (I also noted it will likely be center stage at numerous Bowl Championship Game parties on January 7th as well.)

In addition to the jambalaya, my dad’s party will feature his famous Italian Sausage sandwiches. It may seem a bit out of place in home that sits just yards from the Pacific Ocean, but my dad is originally from New Jersey so he knows a thing or two about Italian Sausage.

The other sandwich option his guests will be able to sink their teeth into on game day is a traditional Italian Submarine sandwich. When we were growing up my dad would build these sandwiches ahead of time and place them at the end of the buffet table, but for this party he might just put out the ingredients and have guests build their own. That way they can create their own Dagwood masterpieces. If you are hosting a College Bowl game party of your own you’ll find that the sandwich is a crowd pleaser either way.
