Named after Dagwood Bumstead, a character in the "Blondie" comic strip, this very tall sandwich is piled high with meats, cheeses, condiments, and vegetables for a dramatic presentation. To keep layers from falling over, skewer them on a spindle or with a bamboo skewer. This when broken down actually makes 5 separate sandwiches but the presentation is something else, especially for a football game party! From a pamphlet at my local deli.
