We’ll also be test-tasting the most daring pairings – made with your favourite Chef sauce – for your viewing pleasure.

Ah the humble sambo. It’s tasty, it’s convenient and you don’t need a culinary degree to whip one up.

Yeah, it’s safe to say, we’re pretty big fans of the sandwich here at JOE HQ.

But it’s not just the convenience and tastiness that endears us to the sambo – versatility also plays a huge role.

The sandwich is ripe for customisation – perhaps you like to blend sweet and savoury? Or test out last night’s leftovers as today’s sandwich filling? Maybe, you, like us, view the sandwich as a base for adventurous eating? After all, there’s a lot you can do with two slices of bread and some imagination.

Sounds like a philosophy you share? Well, you’re in good company.

We’ve joined Chef on a mission to track down the most daring sandwich pairings in the country, and here’s where you come in.

Got an unusual sandwich recipe in your repertoire that just sort of works? We want to hear from you.

Of course, an important player in any sandwich is the sauce, and Chef’s range of sauces play a key role in delivering flavour and keeping the sandwich in tact – so make sure you include it in your entry. From epic Chef Ketchup to Chef Brown Sauce to Chef Curry Sauces to Chef Pickles and Vinegars, these saucy additions are the real MVP of any sandwich.

Our favourite thing about Chef sauces? They’re all made in Cabra, so you can feel great about adding a local legend to your lunch.

To be in with a chance of winning a cash prize of €1,000, use the form below to share your most daring pairing with us – and let us know which Chef sauce you use to pull it all together.

In need of some sandwich inspiration in the meantime? Get your grill on with Chef because BBQ season is here. Whether it’s perfectly charred veggies or a full on meat feast topped with one of the delicious sauces from the Chef range, a quick grill on the BBQ can take your sandwich ingredients to the next level.

We’ll also be trying some of the winning entries on camera, so keep an eye on our social channels for the video proof.
