ABOUT THE RECIPE:
The National Sandwich Idea contest was held between 1956 and 1981. It was sponsored by the Wheat Flour Institute. Each year 20 sandwich recipes, created by Food Service professionals, were chosen as the top sandwich recipes from hundreds of entries.

The Trail Driver Sandwich was the number #1 recipe chosen in 1970.

It was created by Mrs. Marilyn Hicks of Houston, TX. She was the assistant food service director at Houston's St. Luke's-Texas Children's Hospital.

The Trail Driver Sandwich consists of tender strips of bbq sauce coated beef, covered with coleslaw, rings of raw onions and dill pickle slices, on a toasted poppyseed bun.
