About
Sandwich Chef refers to a character in a web comic by Jack Chick titled "Hi There!", in which a man complains about receiving a peanut butter sandwich. Online, the comic is often referred to as "ass sandwich" based on a edited version containing the caption "this is an ass sandwich / it is made of ass and poo."
Origin
In 2002, Jack Chick released the comic "Hi There" on JackChick.com, in which a soldier complains about his wife while holding up a peanut butter sandwich she made for him, saying "She knows I hate peanut butter" (shown below). In the panel, his helmet can be confused with a chef hat, which would give him the nickname of "sandwich chef" when the scene became an exploitable.
A panel of the comic is rumored to have been posted on the Something Awful Forums, where an edited version was created in captioned with "This is an ass sandwich / it is made of ass and poo" (shown below).
Spread
In 2007, edited versions of the image frequently appeared on the /b/ (random) board on 4chan.[3][4] Meanwhile, a Geocities web page was created highlighting several edited examples.[2] On April 30th, 2008, Urban Dictionary[5] user The guy who did it for the lulz submitted an entry for "The Sandwich Chef," defining him as a man who "knows all and sees all" and "is made of omnipotence and win" (shown below).
