Eat this! Philly chef makes statement with anti-Bradford Sam-wich

The Philadelphia Eagles and Sam Bradford appear to be digging in their heels over his status, but one area chef isn't taking this whole deal sitting down. He's digging out his utensils and quietly protesting — by making a sandwich in Bradford's (dis)honor.

Hey, whatever works.

Per the Philly Voice, chef Drew Abbruzzese of Big Q BBQ restaurant in Levittown has created a sandwich that's just dripping with symbolism and one that expresses his annoyance over the Eagles' well-paid QB saying he wants out. On Wednesday, Abbruzzese will give away 150 of these meaty Bradford creations.

The ingredients say it all:

• On the bottom is a piece of fried chicken, whose symbolism, he said, was obvious.
• That's topped by pulled pork, which represents Bradford getting pulled from a long-term starting job with the drafting of Carson Wentz. (See how this is going here?)
• For a subtle garnish, some deep-fried jalapenos. That would be Bradford being on the hot seat.
• The spicy cream cheese, a Philly staple, is show of support for the city, and the potato roll on which it sits represents Bradfors "going down like a sack of potatoes."

So this is all a bit heavy-handed — both metaphorically and culinarily — but we're not making judgments or taking sides. We just want a bite or two of this bad boy.

We assume Bradford won't be one of the lucky 150 to show up early for his free victuals, but then again he doesn't need anymore handouts in that city. The guy has received a ton of cheese there no matter what.

Not sure if this cholesterol bomb will catch on, or if this is just a clever beef in the form of a hoagie aimed at driving a little new business. But it involves some of out favorite gut-busting foods, so that's something we can support.
