The Sandwich Masterclass by A Man & His Sandwich Tour

In the bustling cultural hub of Brooklyn, New York, A Man & His Sandwich Tour delivers a unique culinary adventure that transcends the traditional idea of outdoor experiences. Though this journey takes place online, the Sandwich Masterclass offers an engaging, hands-on dive into the art and science of crafting the perfect sandwich—the kind you’d find on the city streets or at neighborhood delis. Over the course of one dynamic hour, participants don aprons from their own kitchens to learn tips and tricks on assembling the ultimate New York–style sandwich, balancing flavors, textures, and presentation.

This class is not just about stacking meats and cheeses. It’s a gathering around food culture, complete with lively debates—like whether a hot dog belongs in the sandwich category—and stories behind classic sandwich ingredients. The online format welcomes everyone, from families and solo Zoomers to corporate teams from top companies, making it a versatile option for social connection and culinary skill-building, no matter where you are.

What makes this experience truly stand out in New York’s dense outdoor and food scene is how it combines practicality with personality. The class adapts easily to dietary preferences—vegan, vegetarian, omnivore—and encourages improvisation with ingredient swaps. Brooklyn’s energy and diverse culinary heritage are palpable through Ben Gollan’s guidance, making the virtual setting feel warm and interactive, not remote.

In a city renowned for its pizza, bagels, and street food, A Man & His Sandwich Tour carves out a niche that’s both fun and functional, inviting participants to bring new enthusiasm to a staple of outdoor eats on hikes, picnics, or city strolls. Whether you’re prepping for your next trip or just craving a deeper appreciation for simple foods, this masterclass delivers a fresh taste of New York’s layered food culture.
