6. Char Siu Pork Buns
You might not be surprised to learn our three favorite letters are BBQ, but can you guess our favorite kind?

7. Extra Cheesy Calzone
Is a calzone a sandwich? Most people would say no, but it’s not an easy argument to make. Calzones are like pizza, but in sandwich form, and they don’t feel the need to brag to the world about all their cheesy goodness. That’s why we’re here to tell you all about it. Ours is stuffed with rich tomato sauce, roasted red peppers, Italian spices, and a gooey blend of fontina and Parm. This is one calzone you’ll want to celebrate with.
8. BBQ Cheeseburger
Is a burger a sandwich? This debate has sparked outrage across the world for decades and we are still nowhere close to having a definitive answer. It has all the makings of a sandwich, but many still refuse to label a burger as a sandwich. Either way, an excuse to eat a burger is good enough for us. This BBQ cheeseburger is loaded with sautéed onions, cheddar cheese, and a sweet and smoky BBQ sauce. Your stress will melt away—along with the cheddar.
