Part 2/7:
In the first match-up, Lebanon's Chicken Shawarma faced off against Italy's Faka Mortadella. Shawarma has become a global favorite, but the Lebanese version stood out due to its unique recipe, which includes tomb, a delicious garlic sauce, and a delightful arrangement of fries, chicken, and pickles. On the opposite side, the Italian sandwich offered a picture-perfect combination of pistachio cream, mortadella, and olive oil, creating a flavorful experience that left judges torn.
The tasting panel featured Chef Christian and sandwich connoisseur Salt Hank, both well-versed in sandwich appreciation. Their feedback highlighted the unique textures and flavors of each contender, ultimately leading to the Italian Faka Mortadella moving on to the next round.
