A three-person team from the Jersey Mike’s location in Royal Palm Beach earned one of six top spots in Jersey Mike’s Subs National G13 Sub-Making Championship to be held at the company’s National Conference in Orlando later this month.
Connor McCarthy, Sabinne Pernett and Brandon Lemos will compete against teams from Toms River, N.J.; Methuen, Mass.; Frederick, Md.; Glastonbury, Conn.; and Newington, Conn.
To reach the finals, the trio competed against nearly 3,000 teams from across the country. This success isn’t surprising considering that the Royal Palm Beach team has 15 years of combined experience working at Jersey Mike’s.
Jersey Mike’s created the G13 Competition to reinforce the importance of safety, brand quality and speed of service with the company’s team members. G refers to Giant, the size of the sub competitors make, and 13 refers to the company’s most popular sub (#13 The Original Italian.)
In addition to fresh slicing all the meats and cheese, contestants dress a sub Mike’s Way with lettuce, tomatoes and onions, and show off their “sprinkling” skills, adding “The Juice” (red wine vinegar/olive oil blend) before cutting, wrapping and bagging each sub. Teams are judged on speed and flawless execution.
