This collection of heart-stopping sandwiches go beyond the traditional meal people remember bringing to school for lunch. In place of thin slices of white bread, bologna and mustard many were accustomed to, chefs are creating masterpieces that fly in the face of such a stereotypical recipe. Substituting bread with donuts or jam-packing the dishes with gourmet ingredients, many people -- especially millennial men -- will find it hard to turn down these heart-stopping sandwiches.
This particular demographic is looking to not only try new things, but have an experience that's epic. Many food networks are now travelling the world looking for the most outrageous meals and these heart-stopping sandwiches fall into that category. Influenced by various cultures, such recipes have never been more experimental or delicious.
