The bread, already coated with a sriracha mayo, then gets two thick slices of tomato before being topped off with a healthy handful of leafy greens. The branded slice of bread tops it off on a sandwich that will definitely take two hands to eat.<\/p>\n<p>This mammoth American meal is only available at the Levy All-American concession stands (Section 104 Saturday and Sunday, Section 132 Sunday, and Section 433 Sunday). Price is only $10.
