West Coast Offense Spread on spicy mayonnaise, then add romaine leaves. Layer on avocado slices, crispy bacon and tomato. Add poached chicken if you want more protein. (It is football, after all.) Buy spicy mayonnaise or make your own by mixing mayonnaise with a chipotle pepper in adobo sauce. Start with a little — it’s quite hot — and add more as needed.
Wishbone Formation Standard turkey gets a boost from a Thanksgiving classic, cranberry sauce. Chopped romaine or red leaf lettuce is the base for smoked turkey, Havarti cheese, whole cranberry sauce and brown mustard.
Wildcat Offense This veggie sub is all about the supporting players getting the job done. On top of shredded iceberg, load the sub with sliced cucumbers (peeled or not) and tomatoes, marinated roasted red pepper strips, sliced black olives, feta cheese crumbles, a few shakes of Greek seasoning or Italian herbs and oil and vinegar.
Fair Catch
You’ll get points for this sub whether you grill or saute the shrimp. Drizzle peeled shrimp with olive oil and sprinkle with red pepper flakes and a seasoning blend such as garlic and herb. Saute or grill until pink. Do not overcook. Add fresh chopped dill to prepared tartar sauce and use a spring-greens mix for color, texture and taste. The Fair Catch is delicious warm or at room temperature.
