"A deceptively simple flavor-bomb of a new comedy about survival, second chances, and digesting whatever life serves up." --Naveen Kumar, Variety
With a chance at reclaiming their lives, the formerly incarcerated people working at Clyde's, a roadside sandwich stop, strive hard to overcome their personal challenges. Not so easy under their boss Clyde. In this razor-sharp comedy, this motley crew of line cooks, under a visionary chef, are given purpose and permission to dream through their shared quest to create the perfect sandwich.

"Funny, optimistic and compassionate...feels like a play we need right now."--Star Tribune
"Despite the fact that this is a play about living with and through your mistakes, it's hysterical and real, and it will make you hungry...in the end there is love and laughter, there is connection, there is possibility, and there is a sandwich."--Mpls. St. Paul Magazine
