After winning the opening rounds of the World Sandwich Championship, whether right or wrong, I decided to play it safe. I decided on a sandwich that was probably too simple and didn’t have a million layers of ingredients, but it was original, it was Florida, it was comfort food. For those unfamiliar with the deviled crab, it is a mixture of crab, tomatoes, peppers, onions, garlic, and a variety of spices. It’s thick, rich, spicy, and hearty, and seemingly perfect for a lobster roll type sandwich. To make ours a bit more complex, we added a cole slaw made with key limes & thick cut bacon.
