The reality TV stars were challenged to create the tastiest sub in a high-stakes sarnie showdown – with Team Pete crowned the winner. Sam Thompson was joined by popular comedy creator Isaac (Italian Bach) and foodie influencer Nguyen (Gnoch Gnoch). Together the team concocted their own fiery and flavourful masterpiece, ‘The Southwest Princess’.
Their offering was loaded with nacho chicken bites, pepperoni, American-style cheese, grated mozzarella, and cheddar and drizzled with chipotle Southwest sauce and garlic and herb sauce. Alongside the cheesy meat feast, the sandwich featured cucumber, red onions, jalapenos, sweetcorn, one olive, crispy onions and a pinch of salt and pepper.
Pete Wicks teamed up with creators Willy (What Willy Cook), known online for his comedic viral cooking tutorials, and popular content creator and presenter Sarel. The trio created the sub that ultimately stole the show – the ‘Sandwich A Trois’. Their sub was packed with American-style cheese, grated mozzarella, and cheese. Alongside the hefty portion of cheese, the sarnie contained garlic oil, red peppers, red onions, jalapenos, pickles, olives, lite mayo and salt and pepper.
After first battling it out at Subway HQ where they created their ultimate subs, both teams hit the road to show off their wares. Foodies flocked to the sunny South Bank to try the limited-edition creations in the mighty clash of the subs. The celeb duo went head-to-head in a variety of sub-related challenges, including a race to build their sub the quickest, cutting the perfect six-inch sarnie, and even Subway limbo.
When the dust finally settled, it was Team Pete’s big flavours and bold attitude that came out on top, earning them the very first ‘Great Sub Off’ victory. Pete Wicks said: “I knew we had something special with ‘Sandwich A Trois – big flavours, big vibes and just the right amount of chaos. Sam and his team gave it a good go, but we came here to win. There’s no better feeling than coming out on top, especially when you’ve had a real laugh doing it. “I’m buzzing we claimed the crown.”
Kirstey Elston, Senior Director, EMEA at Subway, said: “It was incredible to see so many foodies turn up to get a taste of the action. Whether they were long-time Subway fans or just curious to try something new, the excitement was real. People queued, tasted, voted, and made their voices heard and it was that energy and passion that made ‘The Great Sub Off’ such a success. There’s nothing better than seeing our subs bringing people together.”
