How to Make a $1,500 Sandwich from Scratch

Talk about going all in for a DIY project! Andy George of How to Make Everything goes the whole nine yards to make a chicken sandwich from scratch. 

Check out this 12 part series where Andy details out how he made every ingredient to build a simple grilled sandwich over the course of 6 months and a $1,500 expenditure. He covered everything from harvesting sea salt to separating the wheat from the chaff in his living room. It’s a fantastic perspective of a modern DIYer without all the fancy tools and high-end know how. It made me feel like I, too, could make my own sandwich from scratch.

You can watch a summary video below or check out the entire 12-part series on YouTube.

And the $1,500? It’s averaged after cost of supplies and labor. Spoiler alert? Mr. George said it was just an OK sandwich.
