The SuperNatural team (L-R): Chris Perczichino, Christian Eggert, Tony Nguyen, and Anthony Tran.<\/p><\/div>\n

Keep an eye out for SuperNatural Sandwiches.\u00a0<\/a>Our friends and sandwich heroes, Christian Eggert, Tony Nguyen, Chris Perczichino and Anthony Tran, recently competed in the\u00a0World Food Championships<\/a> in Las Vegas. Sharp Entertainment, which produces food-related shows for the Travel Channel, filmed the event for a multi-episode series slated to air in early 2014.<\/p>\n

As one of 50 competitors, SuperNatural sought the\u00a0World Sandwich Championship<\/span>\u00a0title and its hefty $25,000 prize. They entered their signature spicy garlic shrimp sandwich known as \u201cThe Siren\u201d, which features our locally-caught shrimp and earned a spot recently on Eater\u2019s\u00a0Iconic Sandwich list<\/a>. The team didn\u2019t take the crown; however, they placed 15th<\/sup> in their category. Pretty impressive considering their \u201cSea to Sandwich\u201d concept debuted in San Diego just over a year ago!<\/p>\n

SuperNatural aims to provide their \u201caFISHo\u2019Nados<\/i>\u201d with hyper local flavors. To accomplish this they use fresh and local sustainable seafood as well as cheeses, bread and greens from local vendors. Sauces, rubs and marinades are made in-house, and ingredients are organic whenever possible.<\/p>\n

And the name? After shooting down Just Above Average Sandwiches<\/i> they came up with Kraken<\/i>. Kraken because in urban lingo means \u201clet\u2019s get it started\u201d and is also a play off the phrase \u201cRelease the Kraken!\u201d as popularized by Clash of the Titans<\/i>. But then they wondered if they named themselves Kraken Sandwiches<\/i>, what would call the sandwiches? That\u2019s when they decided on SuperNatural, and that each sandwich would be named for a supernatural creature because of the mythical flavors the team hopes to deliver in every bite: super in taste, natural ingredients \u2013 a supernatural experience.<\/p>\n

Like we said, keep an eye out for these guys!<\/p>\n
