Celebrity named entrees go together like vegan marshmellows, cocoa and grahams.

Twig & Barry‘s, a new restaurant in Bourbonnais, IL has named a vegetarian sandwich on its menu in memory of the Apple guru famous for living a plant-based lifestyle, Steve Jobs.

The Steve Jobs Veggie Sandwich includes cucumber, tomato, hummus, avocado, sprouts and yogurt-dill sauce on baked ciabatta.
