[Antilope]

The National Sandwich Idea contest was held between 1956 and 1981. It was sponsored by the Wheat Flour Institute. Each year 20 sandwich recipes, created by Food Service professionals, were chosen as the top sandwich recipes from hundreds of entries.

The Oh Boy Farm Boy Sandwich was the number #1 meat category recipe chosen in 1964.

It was created by Gordon Snyder of Columbus, OH. He was a manager of a large chain of restaurants. The Oh Boy Farm Boy sandwich has a sausage patty on top of zippy sauerkraut spooned over a bun topped with broiled Swiss cheese and sliced stuffed olives.
