Subway restaurants chose a wild Alaska salmon sub sandwich recipe submitted by Anchorage's Ellen Cole as its new salmon sub. Cole is a professor at Alaska Pacific University. The sub combines toasted Italian herb and cheese bread, wild Alaska salmon, provolone cheese, tomatoes, red onions, olives, oregano, bacon, spinach and sweet onion dressing. The sub is now on the menu at Anchorage, Eagle River and Palmer/Wassail Subway restaurants. Cole was the winner out of three finalists in the contest. Other finalists were Alaskans 12-year-old Lauren and Jess Franco. Cole won a guided Kenai River fishing trip and rights to name the sandwich, which she dubbed Alaska Wild.
