If there is one thing that I can relate to with Matt LeBlanc’s character Joey on “Friends”, is that we have an affinity for all things sandwiches. They are our favorites in many different ways. Well, what happens when you take the concept of a sandwich, turn it into a full fledged competition with twenty bright and up and coming students, where they compete “Chopped” style to see who can turn out one that is delicious and healthy all at the same time? You get The Sandwich Showdown, which is coming up this Thursday afternoon. [Read more…] about Student Sandwich Showdown Hits Manhattan This Thursday!

It is an even bigger thrill when the business itself doesn’t shame in any body type or image in the entirety of its community, something that certain businesses pride themselves on when it comes to excluding people based on a variety of things that sometimes they can’t help. A great example of this type of positivity and inclusiveness is the fantastic Instagram account of BearsCubsnBeards, which is run by the equally delightful Stephen Blyth.
