Three years ago Mindy Benton opened her deli within the Volunteer Building in downtown Chattanooga. Her goal was to "create some of the best artisan sandwiches in town sourcing local ingredients whenever possible."
Chef Mindy has opened her kitchen doors annually for the Mindy B’s Sandwich Throwdown. The contest, now in its third year, was conceived to coax culinary genius from Chattanooga’s creative community and serve it up with a crunchy pickle to the hungry masses of the city.
Anyone can enter. First, sandwich lovers submit their sandwich creations on the Mindy B’s Facebook Page. Next, the three most popular creations (as voted by the fans) move on to the second round where their owners create their sandwich in front of the cameras inside Mindy B’s kitchen.
Round two voting is done in-store. Participants vote for their favorite by purchasing a sandwich of choice. The most bought sandwich of the day earns a point. The sandwich with the most points at the end of the contest wins the Mindy B’s Sandwich Throwdown, and earns the right to stay on the menu for a year.
Visit the Mindy B’s Deli Facebook Page for full details, or talk with Mindy at 521-7932.
