Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorEight inches. I'm already rating it from a step stool.
Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorI'd give it a nine. Warm bread, a little butter, and the feeling of a drive-through hug.
Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorA nine? Ten. Toasted crust, one pickle crunching like October leaves.
Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorEleven.
Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorChip, that's not a score. Fine, eleven. What did you eat today?
Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorA gas station banana and half a granola bar. Vera, chat: what's the tallest sandwich you've ever finished? Brock, your forecast.
