Yes. Yes they do. As the Internets' toppest sandwich bloggist, I am ready to make the call.
Many years ago, I began a study wherein I would eat the unwanted sandwiches of other people's catered lunches. If you work in an office, which I highly recommend as it is awesome, you will find that people frequently gather together in rooms to talk about things relevant to the business. These gatherings are called "meetings," and they vary in length. Occasionally, these meetings last so long as to necessitate a catered lunch. In such cases, the person ordering the catering must order at least as many sandwiches as there are meeting attendees, as it's always better to have too many sandwiches than not enough. Indeed, the sandwich-orderer is expected to request far more sandies than will be needed, just in case a bunch of extra people unexpectedly show up at the meeting.
Here's where I come in. At some point, all the meeting's attendees will have been fed, leaving the extra sandwiches behind for my taking. These sandwiches may not be my first choice, but they taste just as good.
Which is my point. I enjoy a $6 sandwich off the menu equally as much as I enjoy a free sandwich sitting on a conference room table. Today I went with turkey and swiss on some kind of brown bread, probably rye. Regardless of what it was, it tasted like a $6 sandwich. Point proven.

Michael - A year without a free sandwich would have been terrible indeed. That Udi's sandwich sounds excellent. I'd skip the mushrooms, but solid otherwise. Thanks for the summary! Intriguing sides. I don't understand what pineapple-rice medley is though, and I don't really know what a blondie is. I think it's like a cookie?
