Team Connecticut West places 2nd in Jersey Mike’s Subs annual Sub Making Championship
A three-person team from Frederick, Md. took home the title of Jersey Mike’s Subs G13 Sub Making Champions and coveted trophy, presented by Jersey Mike’s Founder and CEO Peter Cancro, at the company’s recent National G13 Sub-Making Competition in Orlando, Fla.
To the booming voice of legendary ring announcer Michael Buffer, and a cheering crowd of more than 3,200 Jersey Mike’s Team Washington Cody Thorton, Maddie Canuhe and Karrie Lerch sliced, sprinkled and wrapped their way to sub-making victory with a near perfect performance. They competed against six other finalist teams from throughout the country.
In a close contest, Team Connecticut West secured an impressive second place, while Team Massachusetts rounded out the top three with a well-deserved third place finish.
The winning trio works at the Jersey Mike’s located at 5599 Spectrum Drive in Frederick, with franchise owner Danny Malamis. Collectively, the Frederick team has an incredible 20 years of combined experience working at Jersey Mike’s.
Jersey Mike’s created the G13 Competition to reinforce the importance of safety, brand quality and speed of service with the company’s team members. G refers to Giant, the size of the sub competitors make, and 13 refers to the company’s most popular sub, #13 The Original Italian.
In addition to fresh slicing all the meats and cheese (provolone, ham, prosciuttini, cappacuolo, salami, and pepperoni), contestants dress a sub Mike’s Way® with lettuce, tomatoes and onions and show off their “sprinkling,” skills, adding “The Juice” (red wine vinegar/olive oil blend) before cutting, wrapping and bagging each sub. Teams are judged on speed and flawless execution.
The teams competed March 16 at Jersey Mike’s National Conference in Orlando where franchise owners, managers and others gathered to celebrate the company’s 69th anniversary, while gaining inspiration and education.
The winners competed against nearly 3,000 teams from across the country. The other top six teams competing in the National Championship came from Toms River, N.J.; Methuen, Mass.; Royal Palm Beach, Fla.; Glastonbury, Conn. and Newington, Conn., and Chicago, Ill.
