Our Home Version of a Sub Sandwich Bar

On a visit to Bargreen-Ellingson, our nearest restaurant supply store, during the time we built our house, the kids fell in love with a sandwich prep table they had on display.  
I have to admit that if we weren't as far into the build as we were, I may have tried to fit space for one into the kitchen.  What a wonderful way to encourage generous and easy use of plenty of nutritious veggies. 
It got me thinking, and I pondered alternative that might work the same way for us.                                                                                                                                            
I couldn't find what I needed in the kitchen storage sections of chain retail stores, so I returned to Bargreens to try to put together our own system.  

I bought one large container and its coordinating lid, and several smaller to fit in.  
Having 2 layers meant I needed containers that would stack.                                                              





These polycarbonate food storage pans nest/fit one inside the other a bit, but still leave room in the lower containers (which are deeper than their upper counterparts) for the prepped food. (Similar pans also available through Amazon.)                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        


I was able to adjust the refrigerator shelves so our 'sandwich bar' fits snuggly into one spot and works like an extra drawer, although it comes out easily to be used at the island.
