🧀☀️ GRILLED CHEESE SUMMER ☀️🧀

We’re kicking around an idea for a summer-long series of creative grilled cheese sandwiches, and we want YOUR help!

We’ve already kicked things off with our Welsh Cheddar Grilled Cheese, but where should we go next?

Give us your best ideas:
🧀 What cheeses?
🥓 What add-ons?
🌶 Sweet or savory?
🍎 Fruit? Meat? Pickles? Something completely ridiculous?

Some ideas we’re tossing around:
🔥 Jalapeño Popper Grilled Cheese
🍑 Peach & Brie
🥩 French Onion & Gruyère
🍅 Caprese with fresh basil
🥒 Cubano-inspired with ham and pickles
🍄 Mushroom & Swiss
🍎 Apple, Bacon & Sharp Cheddar

Drop your dream grilled cheese in the comments. If we make it, we’ll give you bragging rights forever (or at least until the next sandwich).

Let’s hear your cheesy masterpieces! 👇🧀

Our Chunky Edges stock pile has grown again 😳 We have a good selection of just about everything, so today would be a good day to come stock up!

🟣 What are Chunky Edges? These are the end pieces that we cut off our sandwiches to get them square. We stuff them into pint containers and offer them for only $4. This is a secret menu item! Only our Facebook fans know about it. It is not posted anywhere in our shop. It’s a if you know, you know kind of thing. That’s what makes you part of the club 😉 You have to ask to see the list of available Chunky Edges. These are only offered in our shop. We do not have them on the dessert bus.

🏬 Shop is open 12p - 8p today!
See you soon 😃
