December 14, 2010A Cleveland Sports Fan Gift Guide
December 14, 2010We’re at the half way point in our Christmas giveaway. Seems like we’re just getting started!
Yesterday, DJ was randomly selected to win the WFNY Tickets package worth $75 and a Cavaliers player t-shirt. If DJ could go back in time to watch any Cleveland game, he would choose the infamous Red Right 88 game. There were several interesting choices yesterday. Lot’s of 90’s Indians games. Several people interested in seeing The Shot, and of course plenty of fans wanting to go back and see the Browns win the ’64 title. Ah, the good old days.
You guys are doing a great job with the formatting this year. Bravo. Remember, restate the question and then answer the question. Piece of cake. Let’s get to today’s giveaway-
Today’s Prize:
This is a biggie. Today we are giving away a Cleveland Browns #40 Peyton Hillis jersey. It is a Reebok on-field jersey brand new with tags. It is a size 50, which they consider a large, but to me could easily pass for an XL. It’s one of the hot items for Christmas this year, and we’re giving you the chance to grab one. In case you need reminded, Hillis is the youngest Browns back since Kevin Mack to go over the 1000 yard mark in a season. He has over 1500 all-purpose yards and 13 touchdowns.
Today’s Question:

A thin burger topped with lettuce, tomato, mushrooms, onions, pickles, and sprouts. Slathered in mayo, on a huge, bland bun.

The LeQuit Burger
-23 inches in long
-cheese
-lettace
-tomatoe
You have 23 minutes to finish it, if you don’t finish or “quit”, you get booed out of the restaurant and booed everytime you return. If you finish it, you are awared 7 years of free food from the restaurant, with complementary chalk dust to throw in the air (before every time you sit down).
Sideshow Ka Bobwich – this sandwich is straight from Brazil with lots of Sauerkraut to match Andy’s unique hairstyle!

The Skipper (A tribute to Eric Wedge)
Dont get bbq sauce stuck in your mustache for this house favorite. Grinded (shredded) pork on your choice of bun, covered in sticky bbq sauce. With seasoned Wedges on the side. This sandwhich will get your close, but can’t take you all the way.

The Cliff Lee Club – This sandwich is advertised as being very good after you wait a little while, but once the waitress starts to bring it to you, she has to send it back to the kitchen because its not quite done yet. It finally comes out, a triple decker sandwich piled high with hot turkey, corned beef, ham, bacon, and swiss cheese, with mustard, banana peppers, lettuce, tomato, and horseradish. You start to eat it, and a man comes up to you to tell you that its won an award. Once it wins the award, the waitress comes and takes it from you to give to a man near you who has more money and can pay a lot more for the sandwich.
Some of these sandwiches sound amazing haha, Im drooling.
Gratz for DJ’s win. I was at the infamous REd Right 88 game and it was cold!!! That about all I remember. =(

I agree mgbode. In fact, I’m considering adding a second prize winner from these outstanding answers.
@ Reep #27 – I, for one, would not be too upset at that idea. Now if we can just find some investors…..

The “Hillis” sandwich is a southern inspired BBQ sandwich that has layers of hand pulled pork that has been simmering for hours, loaded with BBQ sauce and finished with ciabatta bread. While a simple and modest sandwich (like Hillis) it is southern inspired (like Hillis) and made from a blue collar town (like Hillis).

Cory Snyder’s Honey Mustard Chicken Sandwich
A tender, juicy fried chicken patty smothered in carmelized onions, banana peppers and honey mustard on a potato bun. Add bacon for only $2.49! “These bronze bombers have the power to be a home run with some patrons but tend to also stike out a lot with others…needless to say the generous portion of mustache lathering honey mustard is the main selling point.”

The Browns Starting QB Panini … served only for lunch on Sundays in the fall. At any given time the ingredients may change. Most often, they come from some other restaurant’s dumpster. It usually tastes like dung. However, for some unknown reason we all continue to go back and eat this sammitch once a week knowing full well that it will taste just as bad as the last one.
too bad no one fell for the mangini panini… lol

A couple:
The Wedge Grinder:
Turkey, lettuce, tomato, and mayo. It’s not really good, not really bad, but as soon as you finish it you need to forget about it and move on to tomorrow’s sandwich.
The Jeremy Sowers-dough:
A small, cold, plain sourdough FLATbread sandwich served slowly in the center of your plate.

The Quitness 8-inch Sub:
The first 7 inches are the most delicious thing you’ve ever eaten. Fresh cut prime rib smothered with delicious cheddar cheese & caramelized onion, topped with bacon, eggs, and a golden-fried hash brown. The last bite is a raw onion covered in Tabasco sauce. ENJOY!!

The Colt McBurger
Barbeque Veal (bc he’s so good, yet so young)
dripping with hot sauce (bc he injects a little spice into our offense)
and cole slaw (shredded cabbage symbolic of the way he shreds defenses)
all served on a cornbread muffin (a little down home cookin for our boy from the Lone Star State).
For optimum taste, veal should be cooked medium rare (since Colt’s slightly younger than his prime)
YUM.

The Omar
Greasy cheeseburger covered with toppings and Omar’s classic salsa. So huge most people have to eat it with fork and knife. But not Omar, he’ll barehand it and throw out the napkin before you even get to it.

2) The D.A. Sub – Nothing funny about this…
First bite of the sandwich taste great with ham, roast beef, turkey, cheese etc…then the 2nd bite is stale bread nothing else. Making you wondering why one bite is so good but the rest sucks. Again nothing funny about this sandwich.

The Valbuena- has every kind of meat (because he’s a butcher in the field), but it always comes out with errors. No vegetables or condiments, so it’s dry and weak.
Can’t believe no one’s made use of Charlie’s Fryes on their Sammich yet…

The LeBron-wich
A full length sub (but not a “hero”) that satisfies your taste buds and stomach. It includes:
Toasted asiago bread
All of the finer cuts of homegrown roast beef
Pepperjack cheese to add a little kick (to the man-area)
Any vegetable that you could imagine, flown in daily from the field
And a slam dunkin’ secret sauce
It can deliver any day of the week… except during the NBA playoffs, where it mysteriously becomes unavailable.

The Len Barker Burger.
It’s pretty standard fare, nothing all that special about this cheeseburger. Plain white bun, lettuce, tomato, pickle, onion, American cheese. Nothing out of the ordinary at all. But there’s always a chance that one time… just one time… it’ll be the perfect sandwich. If it’s not, you can always swap the burger in for some Brett Butler chewin’ tobacco.
Glad someone finally used Delonte…I just couldn’t think of anything. I’d also love a Robaire with Cheese.

The Mark Price:
White Bread
Turkey Breast – White meat
3 slice of American Cheese
Mayonnaise and a lot of it
Onion
The Jamal Lewis:
That sandwich that you’ve seen in other areas that gets rave reviews. It’s big and packs a punch.
Classic Version:
Thick sesame seed bun topped with the finest Maryland Crab cake (Crabcakes and football!), extra thick bacon, and finished with finesse; Roma tomatoes, iceberg lettuce, and a dash of red wine vinegarette.
Cleveland Version:
One the same sesame seed bun however since the chef is more accustomed to walleye, he made Cleveland’s first walleye cake. However it was a thicker and more filling cake, making it much slower.

JT73 Lake Erie Poboy
A delicious blend of fried Lake Erie perch and walleye. Beer battered using Great Lakes Dortmunder Gold. Topped with hearty portions of lettuce, franks red-hot sauce and brown Stadium Mustard and wisconsin cheddar cheese, all on a fresh sourdough roll. “Big enough to protect your blind side.”
The Warden
2lbs Shaved duck (Oregon)wrapped in 1lb of bacon smothered in ranch dressing dredged with a special Christmas Ale batter and deep fried. Comes to a whopping 4.3lbs. If you give it a go, forgo your own safety, its either free or given a strong discount if you are to finish it depending on what sort of mood the chef is in.
If you don’t respect the sandwich it will put you in the Trauma Ward.

The Shawn Kemp Mini-Burger Platter…In honor of his many progeny this dish is a large, overstuffed triple patty burger that is also served with a plate of mini burgers gathered around the large one.
