Sandwich Showdown double Edition (XXI and XXII)

First off, I would like to apologize for the delay once again. This should be finally resolved, as the former computer was deemed no longer able to use, and I now operate from an HP p6754y model desktop computer. Now for the sandwiches.

XXI: The battle over June 4th and 5th had a Subway Club on Herbs and Cheese against a Steak and Cheese on Italian. The Club had the disadvantage of being consumed while on a trip, taking some of the value out of the taste. However, it did hold on fairly well given the circumstance, and did get dressed up with the traditional KC Masterpiece before being eaten. The Steak and Cheese had a very easy week, and went in top notch style to the top. All around a good sandwich taken to its best levels. The winner that week was the Steak and Cheese.

XXII: More recently, we had a Sweet Onion Chicken Teriyaki on Garlic against a Turkey and Ham on Italian. The SOCT came in strong, and featured Peco's sauce over the KC, although in an excessive and counterproductive way. The sauce had very little effect on the taste, and the SOCT left the door open. The Turkey and Ham made it very clear that this was going to be a close week. The bread quality was virtually unmatchable. The meat content came in strong and tasted very good for a simple sandwich. After the tallies, it appears that the Turkey and Ham will take a narrow victory this week in the showdown. This feature will run at its scheduled time next week.
