In my recent interview with Blake Stoker from Blake's BBQ in Martin, Tennessee HERE for 'Behind the BBQ Front Lines' he talks about the Bubba Cole sandwich(at around the 21:45 mark) AND the quick meal that he has right before his BBQ trailer opens each day for business(Wednesday - Friday 11:00 - Sold Out / Saturday 10:30 - Sold Out)
The original Bubba Cole from Martin, Tennessee is a broiche bun with a 1/4 lb. of brisket, a 1/4 lb. of turkey, and a heaping pile of pimento cheese(you can add sauce and/or pickled onions, pickles, jalapenos) . It was named after his contractor, Bubba, who is working on his brick and mortar and Cole Parkman.
Here's a new version of the Bubba Cole from the Redwood Smoke Shack in Norfolk, Virginia:

This delicious 'snack' that Blake eats EVERY day is now called Blake's B&T. For this he takes a slice of brisket and a slice of turkey and puts them onto a piece of white bread(sometimes he puts a slice on top) and drizzles some of his BBQ sauce on it. This halfwich or folder-over(or maybe a wrap) is simple, but as Blake says, very satisfying.
Here is Blake's version:
As things go these days the Blake's B&T(the marriage of a slice of brisket and a slice of turkey put together to compliment each other) started sweeping the nation. Below are BBQ spots and folks in the BBQ world have sent Blake of their Blake's B&T creation. If you have your own, please send it to Blake or I and I'll add it to this growing list.
