Heated Sandwiches from the Garde Manger Station

Speaking generally, any sandwich served at a hot temperature can be called a hot sandwich. However, for the purposes of this text, it is necessary to distinguish between hot-temperature sandwiches that must be prepared by the hot line and those that can be prepared by the garde manger station.

Unlike the garde manger station, the hot line is outfitted with equipment for cooking raw sandwich fillings, such as hamburger patties and boneless chicken breasts, to order. In this text, we call sandwiches made from such ingredients hot sandwiches. However, another type of hot sandwich is made from pre-cooked or ready-to-eat ingredients. In this text, we call these heated sandwiches.
