Sandwiches can be emotional, sparking fierce debates and drawing intense loyalty. Don’t believe us? Guess you haven’t been online in awhile!

Today, we'll introduce you to Joe and Mike, two of the three brothers behind a popular Facebook group that's guaranteed to get your stomach rumbling. How the south county natives have created a community of thousands in just a few months in ‘Sandwich Connoisseurs of St. Louis.’ Our musings on why the group has become so hot, and the next ideas it’s fueling.

Plus, we have a very STL-beer-scene-centric edition of the food news roundup, and the weekend events to help you embrace or escape the wintery weather.
