Meet the Sandwich Champs! The Human Egg Sandwich Crew!
The genesis of team Human Egg Sandwich:
After a swift clean up of the shop one Sunday night, , my cleaning partner Mindy Tchieu, Marko Manriquez, and Cindy Wong decided to try out the David Chang sweet spot Milk Bar for a quick sugar fix before hitting the sack.
We shot the shit for a bit, talking over our excessively sweet and cloying desserts. Someone mentioned the annual sandwich making competition, and being a fan of team competition, I thought we should form one mega-team and make an awesome sandwich. I am not sure when we started talking about fetuses in a cannibalistic nature, but we thought about how cool it would be…to…eat…babies, in a Swiftian way of course.
The next morning, I put all four of our names on the roster for the People’s Choice Category since our sandwich- made of marzipan, raspberry jam, marshmallows, and banana- was on the whole inedible. It was our best shot.
The day of competition, we had culled our ingredients and began to prep by, well, making babies! This involved hours of rolling out marzipan, dying it, molding it, and detailing it. We even made some mashed banana/raspberry jam guts to fill out the inside.
With ten or so minutes left until judging, our sandwiches were quite popular!
Then, for the proverbial “cherry on top”, Mindy of all people suggested we roll out some more guts covered marzipan to add an umbilical cord. And thus our baby became a champion.
Here’s a little snapshot of the team sans Cindy, who kinda distanced herself from the group once she came to her senses.
We won our category and the most votes overall! Stellar job teammates! Thanks to Jonathan for the wonderful photos!
