Galley Wench's Note:

Darn close to the Schlotzsky Original sandwich! The olive salad recipe is from Food Network. For the buns, use Sourdough Sandwich Buns (Schlotzsky Style). Can be eaten hot or cold. Enjoy!

Don't know who this Schlotzky is, but he seems to have the right idea on this sandwich. My only suggestion is that cheap old bologna would have been better than the fancy Mortadella and it gets buried in the sandwich anyway. The Creole Olive Salad was complex and balanced and a great complement to the stack of meat and cheese. Made for Zaar World Tour 5.
