The 2023 Masters is underway and its traditions are unlike any other in sports.
One of the more timeless, especially for those wandering the course as fans at Augusta, is the delicious pimento cheese sandwich.
It’s cheap, delectable, and an ideal little treat while watching some of the world’s greatest golfers duke it out in the sport’s premier tournament. If you’re on the grounds at Augusta National Golf Club, you can purchase one of these delectables for just $1.50.
If you were planning ahead, you could have ordered the Taste of the Masters food kit and have the ingredients for that and other items sent right to your door. (Editor’s note: It’s too late to place your order for this year but keep it in mind for 2024.)
It also goes without saying that if you’re not in attendance, you can still make a pimento cheese sandwich at home.
