Glastonbury Sub-Making Team Earns Spot In Jersey Mike's Finals

GLASTONBURY, CT — A Glastonbury team of sandwich chefs has earned a spot in the finals of the Jersey Mike’s Subs National G13 Sub-Making Championship.

The event is slated for the company's national conference in Orlando, Fla. on March 16.

Jonique Davis, Kane Cotter and Michael Gillespie make up the team from Glastonbury.

The team will compete against David Viveiros, Angie Echevarria and Tom Dumansky from Newington, along with teams from Toms River, N.J.; Methuen, Mass.; Royal Palm Beach, Fla.; and Frederick, Md.

To reach the finals, the teams competed against nearly 3,000 other squads from across the country. The Glastonbury team has 14 years of combined experience working at Jersey Mike's.

The company 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, No. 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.
