Fast-casual sandwich chain Capriotti’s Sandwich Shop calls its Thanksgiving sandwiches, the "Bobbie," the "official food of Friendsgiving." The Thanksgiving-inspired sandwiches are layered with pieces of turkey, cranberry sauce, mayonnaise and homemade stuffing, making it an easy way for people to enjoy some of the best flavors of the holiday with a single bite.
To support people in their Friendsgiving festivities, which tend to be especially popular with Millennials, Capriotti’s is giving people a chance to win a free catering tray of Capriotti’s Bobbie sandwiches when they order with the CAPAddicts rewards app for a limited time. The sandwich chain is also hosting a coupon-sharing digital Wild Turkey Chase on social media.
The Bobbie has been voted the Greatest Sandwich in America, making it the perfect centerpiece for festive celebrations.
