'I tried UK's priciest sandwich and was floored when I looked inside'
YouTuber Ed Chapman, who reviews food on his channel, wasn't impressed when he bit into a Wagyu beef 'sando' from Harrods - which has been billed as the most expensive sandwich in Britain The humble sandwich remains a lunchtime favourite for workers across the nation. We've all made ourselves a sarnie at some point and it's difficult to imagine how you could get such a simple snack wrong. That is, until YouTuber Ed Chapman ventured to prestigious London department store Harrods to sample Britain's priciest butty. After trying several lacklustre sandwiches priced between £10-£18, Ed was eagerly anticipating the Wagyu 'sando'. "This is my kind of meat," he declared. "None of this fish nonsense." However, the moment he unwrapped his 'sando,' Ed encountered an unwelcome shock. He said with evident disappointment: "I've just touched the bread, and it feels very dry." Ed, who regularly reviews food and drink for his channel, continued: "It's kind of rubbery. It's bizarre. And as far as I can tell, this is Wagyu sort of wrapped up in a sort of katsu coating." He observed: "No crusts is an interesting one. But then the bread is very, very hard and tough." In summary, he concluded it prioritised presentation over quality: "Maybe it's trying a bit too hard to be a sandwich," he remarked. "It's one of those people that tries too hard to be cool. They call themselves Sando." The taste of his £28 sandwich failed to impress: "I'm just getting a lot of mushroom. It's odd. It says barbecue sauce, but I'm not really getting the barbecue sauce because it's been bleached into the bread." Ed described the sandwich as "fine, but nothing special" adding: "It almost feels like the way that they've served this up, it feels like I've been up in my grandma's loft and found like an old sandwich from when she was at work, you know, in the '70s. And I've discovered it inside a little shoe box." Ed then quipped that biting into the sandwich felt like chomping on a family heirloom, expressing his disappointment over its lack of freshness: "That's the biggest disappointment," he said. "You pay 28 quid for something," Ed added, "You expect it to be fresh. You expect the bread to not have this weird dryness to it. I know it's probably been done like that deliberately, but it's not the most appetising or fresh feeling when you're biting into a sandwich. " He admitted that the sandwich wasn't terrible, giving it a score of around six out of 10: "But you want it to be better than six for 28 quid. "In conclusion, Ed criticised the pretentious nature of the sandwiches he had sampled: "If you are going to have an expensive sandwich like that, make the filling just like, just your standard stuff. Chicken, bacon, ham, cheese. "Sandwiches are supposed to be simple, quick, and easy," he said, "and cheap. 28 quid? Yeah, don't bother with that c**p."

Eagles 2025 NFL Draft Gets Bold Review From Rival Team
It's pretty obvious why the rest of the league didn't want to trade with the Philadelphia Eagles during the 2025 draft. As the defending Super Bowl champions and housing the best general manager in the sport, the rest of the league is now locked in a death-grip of sorts to try and find a way to beat Howie Roseman and the Eagles. Advertisement If they wanted to use the 2025 draft to do that, though, 31 other teams failed miserably. Following the completion of the draft The Athletic's Mike Sando shared a column in which an anonymous executive discussed each team in the NFC. The Eagles were unanimously praised ... per usual. "Campbell, labeled a tone-setting, hammer; by one exec, was the first true linebacker selected (considering Jalon Walker as an edge rusher)," Sando wrote. "Second-rounder Andrew Mukuba was the third safety. Injuries are one risk with Campbell. Positional fit could be another, depending on the coordinator. "Jihaad Campbell was one of the higher grades I've given for a linebacker," an exec said to Sando. "(Defensive coordinator) Vic Fangio will use (Zack) Baun off the ball and Campbell on the ball, and that is huge. They will be the blitzers in the simulated four-man pressures that Vic runs. It can be like Patrick Willis and NaVorro Bowman in San Francisco." Advertisement Coming away with multiple starters on the defensive side of the ball after losing so many in free agency was a stroke of genius for Roseman. It also showed that, despite whatever embargo the rest of the league wants to put on Philly, it isn't going to matter. Roseman and the team are still going to excel.

NFL execs with mixed feelings on Jaguars' free agency approach
NFL execs with mixed feelings on Jaguars' free agency approach Depending on which NFL execs are asked, there are varying thoughts on the Jacksonville Jaguars' approach to free agency. Depending on which NFL execs are asked, there are varying thoughts on the Jacksonville Jaguars' approach to free agency. As GM James Gladstone said following the first wave of free agency, which included nine signings for the Jaguars, his goal was to raise the floor of the roster at this stage of the offseason, which he believes was accomplished. Mike Sando of The Athletic recently got insight into what some NFL executives think of the Jaguars' offseason up to this point. And as I said initially, thoughts are mixed. 'They signed OK players to good-sized deals, and I do not believe in free agency like that,' one exec said to Sando. 'If you are going to do that, go the Chargers' route. Sit and wait and go for one-year contracts.' Another exec would say that the Jaguars' deal for wide receiver Dyami Brown was an overpay. However, on the flip side, another exec was a fan of how the Jaguars went about addressing their needs. 'You are always going to overpay in free agency, but they did not commit gross overpays,' another exec told Sando. 'You saw them go right to the second tier of the offensive line market and say, 'We can get this guy for $10-12 million a year instead of this other guy for $16 million.' I very much agree with the second executive. The market is what the market is, and for a Jaguars team that is coming off a four-win season and making schematic changes on both sides of the football, roster turnover was needed. However, in doing that, in no way did they sacrifice much, if any, salary cap flexibility in the short or long term. According to Over the Cap, the Jaguars still rank 12th in cap space available this season and they are 18th in 2026. None of the deals that the Jaguars made will prevent them from doing business down the road, nor impact how they approach the positions that they did address in the NFL draft. 'What Jacksonville did was get a couple tough, smart guys on the line whose talent is limited, but they are the types of guys they need,' an exec said to Sando.

Family accuses pet sitter of cremating dog without permission
OBETZ, Ohio (WCMH) — A family is fighting for answers after their pet unexpectedly died and the chance to say goodbye was taken from them. NBC4 Investigates is uncovering just what lines may have been crossed and how a family's dog was cremated without their consent. Many people on social media are outraged, and the Obetz family is heartbroken. Their one-year-old dog Sando died in the care of a professional pet sitter who apparently was not honest about what happened, and in a shocking move, the evidence is gone. COTA program for residents with disabilities faces criticism for late arrivals, no shows It was supposed to be the happiest time of their lives; Cherelle and Joel Dublin were getting married. 'We can't enjoy our marriage as much as we would like to, the beginning of our marriage,' Cherelle Dublin said. The couple left Sando in the care of an Obetz area professional pet sitter. The day after their wedding, they got a call telling them Sando was dead. 'She told me specifically, verbatim, that she took Sando out. She gave him a treat. She noticed that he was in distress,' Cherelle Dublin said. 'She immediately started to do the Heimlich maneuver, that wasn't working. So she rushed him to the emergency animal hospital.' She called the vet. Unsolved Ohio: Where is Carla Losey? Columbus woman vanished 23 years ago 'She said, 'Oh, honey, he was brought in on Wednesday. This didn't happen this morning', like I was told,' Dublin said. 'They took a look at him, deceased. There was no sign of choking and that was it.' But now, there's no way to check for sure, because of what the pet sitter did next. 'I know accidents happen, but if it was an accident, why are you lying about the dates when this happened?' Cherelle Dublin said. NBC4 Investigates called the vet and confirmed Sando was brought in dead two days before the Dublins were told. Cherelle called the pet sitter back. 'She says, 'I'm on my way to take him to get cremated,' and I said, 'Absolutely not,'' Cherelle Dublin said. 'I said, 'You're not taking him nowhere.'' Cannabis dispensary plans second central Ohio shop with pickup window But Sando was cremated at a Worthington funeral home, without the permission of Cherelle or her husband. 'Why? Why would you do that to us?' Cherelle Dublin said. We are not naming the pet sitter, her business, or the funeral home because they have not been charged with a crime. However, NBC4 Investigates did look into these businesses. The pet sitter's business has an active license with the state. According to the website Rover, which connects pet owners to care services, she was removed from the app a year and a half ago, though Rover would not tell us why. The pet sitter recently deleted her business Facebook page and LinkedIn profile. NBC4 Investigates called and messaged her. She messaged back saying: 'I have been advised not to speak to it until the investigation is complete.' 'I told her specifically, you do not have my consent to cremate him without me being there,' Cherelle Dublin said. NBC4 Investigates spoke with two different local pet crematories. They shared that a lot of the process is based on trust but both confirmed the person bringing the pet to be cremated has to confirm they are the owner. What to know about Friday's lunar eclipse in Ohio, and when to watch it Jamie Wright is a lawyer with expertise in Ohio animal law. 'It would be up to the owners to accuse her of fraud,' Wright said. NBC4 Investigates went to the Worthington funeral home and emailed, asking how Sando was cremated without his owner's consent, and why now they won't release the documents to his legal owners. 'I'm literally telling you that we are the legal owners and we have documentation of proof that we are the legal owners,' Cherelle Dublin said. The funeral home did not respond to our email and said 'no comment' in person. 'It's very typical when someone has failed to comply with the law to not want to turn over the documentation,' Wright said. 'I hope that they don't think we're ever going to give up. We're never going to give up,' Cherelle Dublin said. 'I don't understand at all, you took my family from me.' The family plans to file civil charges against the pet sitter and funeral home. With the help of a third party, the Dublin family got Sando's ashes back. They are still fighting for the cremation paperwork. We are waiting on paperwork, too. Obetz Police plan to release an investigation. The mayor of Obetz released a statement on Facebook saying: 'The City of Obetz has completed its investigation into the recent concerns regarding the passing of a dog while in the care of a pet sitter. After a thorough review, we have determined that all relevant events surrounding this case occurred outside our jurisdiction. As a result, the appropriate agencies for further investigation are the City of Columbus and the Franklin County Humane Society. To ensure transparency, the full investigative report will be available as a public record this Friday. Anyone wishing to obtain a copy may do so through the proper records request process. For any further inquiries or to report additional concerns, please contact the City of Columbus authorities or the Franklin County Humane Society directly. We appreciate the community's engagement and trust as we work to uphold public safety and animal welfare.' Columbus Humane said because there is no evidence of cruelty, the law does not allow them to open an investigation at this time. An incident report shows the pet sitter did contact Columbus Police saying she felt threatened by the Dublins, but CPD says there is no investigation. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.
