Australian Ford Forums Steak Sandwich Challenge

[b2tf]

For a few weeks now I've been running a bit of a challenge between me and my Boss. Basically what we do is try out as many new cafes etc as we can, and rate them based on their ability to do true justice to what is probably the most revered of all sandwich based foods - I am talking of course about the Steak Sandwich.

After a few weeks of doing this through work, Im now throwing it open to AFF members in the hope of finding the best steak sandwich in Australia. There are of course a few rules which are outlined below:

1. Sandwich content

The steak sandwich must obviously contain steak. Other meats are permitted but no more than 2 different animals are allowed on the one sandwich (so you can have bacon as well as steak). Chicken is NOT permitted.

Mandatory inclusions are onion (preferably served right on top of the steak), lettuce, tomato and beetroot. Honorable mentions are given to sandwiches that incluce cheese.

The sandwich should ideally be served on white bread, wholemeal is permitted as is crusty etc. Rye bread, organic bread and or other breads of a hippie nature are under no circumstances permitted.

2. Sandwich garnishes

The sandwich may or may not be served with other foods such as chips etc. It is recommended you first sample the sandwich before eating other items on the plate as they may mask the true integrity of the sandwich.

3. Sandwiches and alcohol

Alcohol is permitted (in fact a good beer with the sandwich is recommended) but judges are to remain at all times sober and coherent - verdicts of sandwiches consumed whilst over the legal limit (which for this test is 0.05) will not be considered - have a kebab instead.

How to write your verdict:

The sandwich should be judged on all its merits including presentation, size, content and overall taste. Mention can be made of other inclusions ie chips or salad (however if you have salad with it, expect backlash). A sample verdict is outlined below:
