64 sandwiches. 8 categories. 1 champion.

The Sarah Baker Hansen food bracket is back for 2026 and with your help, we’re going to name Omaha and Lincoln’s favorite sandwich.

This year, we’ve split the bracket into eight sandwich categories: Reubens, Chicken sandwiches, French dips, Phillys, Gyros, Breakfast sandwiches, Deli sandwiches and Banh Mis. Each category will get a winner, which then goes head-to-head against another category favorite.

Reader feedback helped us order the restaurants in each category, and your vote will decide the winners in each round.

This year’s contest is hosted in partnership with the Flatwater Free Press, and I couldn’t be more excited. You will be able to vote on my site AND on Flatwater. A bigger audience means more competition!
