Spicy Salami and Pastrami Game Day Sandwiches. The biggest game day of the year calls for the biggest game day sandwich! These massive sandwiches weigh in at 20 ounces of game day goodness! So, we think half a sandwich will do just fine!

Stuffed sandwich halves reveal the layers of varieties of meat and cheese.
