Episode 17 multi stacked dream the dagwood sandwich
A Dagwood sandwich is a tall, multi-layered sandwich made with a variety of meats, cheeses, and condiments. It was named after Dagwood Bumstead, a central character in the comic strip Blondie, who is frequently illustrated making enormous sandwiches. According to Blondie scripter Dean Young, his father, Chic Young, began drawing the huge sandwiches in the comic strip during 1936.

Ingredients
Though the exact contents of Chic Young's illustrated Dagwood sandwich remain obscure, it appears to contain large quantities and varieties of cold cuts, sliced cheese and vegetables separated by additional slices of bread. An olive pierced by a toothpick or wooden skewer usually crowns the edible structure. "Dagwood sandwich" has been included in Webster's New World Dictionary, and "Dagwood" (referring to the sandwich) has been included in the American Heritage Dictionary.
Products and restaurants
In 1951 businessmen Bob Weiler and Art Lang opened a Dagwood-themed restaurant in Toledo, Ohio with hopes of establishing a national chain. They had not licensed the Dagwood name and were ordered to stop using it by King Features.
A Dagwood Diner (spelled "Dag-Wood") operated in Ann Arbor, Michigan until 1971.
Dagwoods Sandwichs et Salades is a successful Montreal, QC submarine sandwich chain established in 1989. (Despite the French styling of the name, most of its signage is French-English bilingual, which is noteworthy in Quebec.)
Assorted lunch meats featuring Dagwood have been sold at grocery stores. In May 1999, a counter-service restaurant named Blondie's opened at Universal Orlando's Islands of Adventure, serving a traditional Dagwood-style sandwich. Blondie's bills itself as "Home of the Dagwood Sandwich." The exterior displays a 20-foot plastic Dagwood sandwich over the entrance.
Dagwood's Sandwich Shoppes, a Blondie-themed restaurant chain founded in 2006, has franchise locations open in Kentucky, Indiana, Missouri, and Georgia as of January 2012. The chain struggled financially and never reached the growth anticipated by its founders. The Dagwood is sold as a 1.5-pound sandwich. The Dagwood sandwich served in the Dagwood Sandwich Shoppes stacks these ingredients: three slices of deli bread, Genoa salami, ham, pepperoni, turkey, cheddar cheese, provolone, lettuce, tomato, roasted red bell peppers, banana peppers, red onion, deli mustard, and low calorie mayonnaise.
Cincinnati-based chain Penn Station East Coast Subs refers to its "create-it-yourself" sub as a Dagwood. A customer may include up to five meats, and any combination of available condiments and vegetables.
Safeway Canada sells a sandwich that they call the "Classic Dagwood" sandwich. It is available in their deli section and used to be called "The Lumberjack". It is served on a full loaf of unsliced French bread, so it is not true to the original.
