E!: It doesn't get any better than sandwiches and pop culture. Tell me more about the Oh, Hill Yeah Campaign.
AS: You think about a celebrity and try to think about what their favorite sandwich would be. It's fun to think about what kind of bread would work with the meat and the spread. I always like going to the Hollywood diners with food named after people. It's just a more fun experience.

E!: Aside from great ingredients, the presentation of these sandwiches adds to the experience.
AS: Definitely. Don't just break out the cookie cutters for the kids' sandwiches. You can always make things fun. It's easy to make it special. You know?

They say in the south that you should always have like a frozen cake in your freezer. If company comes by, you just take it out and let it thaw. I don't have frozen cake because I live alone and I will eat the whole cake, but it's a good idea. Having a frozen pizza in the freezer is a good idea just in case you don't have time to cook and you don't want to order delivery. It's always good to have something you can make last minute.
