Bryon, who has been a member of the SUBWAY® family for 10 years, came in second place in 2007 and 2008 and placed third in the 2010 Sub Jammer competition.
Already the fastest and friendliest workers in the Quick Service Restaurant (QSR) industry, the Sub Jammers are judged on speed, sandwich appearance, content distribution and formula accuracy. Sandwich Artists™ taking part in the Sub Jammers competition won regional events leading up to the championship round in California.
For winning the competition, which was sponsored by Shamrock Farms and Schreiber Foods, Bryon was presented with a check for $3,000. Mana Dangol, from San Rafael, California, took home the $2,000 second place prize with a score of 47.8. Sharon Hall, of Waco, Texas, received $1,000 for her third place finish with a score of 50.2. In all, 120 Sandwich Artists™ from throughout the world competed.
Like Bryon, Sharon was no stranger to the competition; she took second place last year after winning the championship in 2007 and 2008. Sharon, who said she loves the competition as well as meeting fellow Sandwich Artists™ from around the world, still holds the record for making a sandwich in a blazing-quick time of 38.6 seconds.
"Sandwich Artists are the cornerstone of the Subway experience," said Tom Coba, Chief Operations Officer for the SUBWAY® brand. "They are the people most responsible for creating a memorable experience and great meal for our customers. The Sub Jammers competition is a fun way to showcase one of the things that they do best."
