Scooby-Doo
The cartoon about a team of mystery solvers and a talking dog who, together with Shaggy, adores giant towering sandwiches.
Scooby-Doo is a classic cartoon about a team of detectives and a talking dog who loves to eat, especially his signature Scooby Snacks. The show also frequently features Shaggy's enormous multi-layer sandwich — a tower of dozens of ingredients that became a visual gag about his bottomless appetite. In real-world cooking, that kind of sandwich is called a Dagwood, named after a comic strip character famous for giant stacked sandwiches. The show's atmosphere is light, comedic, with a mystery-solving twist. Here are recipes in the spirit of the show — hearty and full of humor.
