Sandwich Wars: Unbreaded, the glossy version of SimplySandwiches

A friend tipped me off to Unbreaded, a sandwich site that is incredibly similar to yours truly. Sure sandwiches are universal, but their site matches an alarming amount or organization and content:

  • sections: my “regional correspondent” is called “unbread your city”
  • taglines: “Sandwich reviews, news, interviews and recipes” vs. “Reviews, theory, discussion and news”
  • language: on their about page “Unbreaded is a site about that celebrates the sandwich. You’ll find sandwich reviews, news, interviews with chefs and recipes!” vs. mine “This is a blog celebrating sandwiches.” .

How flattering! Thank god they at least had the shallow decency to change cities (Philadelphia) and design.

Check it out and let me know what you think. Are they horrible, conceptual thieves or just more sandwich lovers trying to express themselves?

    Hey Ben, why so serious? There’s plenty of room on the Internets for everyone to talk about sandwiches.

    Ben, your can’t compare the sites. Simply sandwiches is the first, the best, and most creative well written site on sandwiches on line. Nothing compares with it. Your writing is fabulous! Yeah, they are uncreative thieves.

    I agree re: not being able to compare yours to Jeff’s. The content’s absolutely great on both, just different emphasis on how the content is presented. I’m just grateful for realizing the potential for other sandwich fiends to express themselves. Now if we could just form some sort of sandwich alliance for the greater good…
