June 8, 2015
Winner: Banh Mi
Restaurant: The Station at Person Street, Raleigh, NC
Sandwich Creator: Scott Jankovictz
Inspiration: “To give a Southern twist to the traditional Vietnamese sandwich.”
Key Ingredients: Pork belly, tri-pepper jelly, pickled turnips and carrots, cilantro, cucumber, chives
Price: $9
Food Cost: $3.40
What the Judges Said: Is it cheating to use pork belly in a sandwich such as this? Maybe, but we looked the other way because the flavor-bomb belly in this sandwich was cut beautifully by the pickled veggies and then taken to another level with the pepper jelly. It packs the punch of a sandwich twice its size.

• Shrimp Banh Mi: Which Wich, Dallas
