Fall/Winter menu announced (above)! Keep an eye on the twitter feed for updates on specials!

Price Range: $6-9

PIGS ‘N’ FIGS
This sandwich was inspired by Italian heritage and American artisan cheese.  It quickly became one of our biggest sellers. You can’t go wrong with a pairing of black mission figs, speck, local goat cheese & a drizzle of reduced balsamic vinegar on La Farm Bakery’s sourdough bread.

FRENCH MONSTER
French onion soup transformed into a sandwich. The onions are cooked down for hours in butter, wine and herbs until they are spreadable. Then we drop a healthy amount of muenster cheese onto it and toast it up. Served on Guglhupf Bakery’s rustic house bread.

PATTY MELT
A rendition of Alycia’s grandfather’s favorite burger at RI’s Newport Creamery.   Our version of the diner classic that we think is one of the best burgers around: a grilled burger with sauteed onions and cheddar on La Farm Bakery’s sourdough.

DE-LISH
We hope this is the sandwich that induces nostalgia. Delicious, melty, cheddar on buttered Guglhupf Bakery’s rustic house bread crisped to perfection.

SPECIALTY SANDWICHES:

KUBLA KHAN:
A new favorite! We smoke a pork shoulder for 8-10 hours after a dry rub is applied.  That home smoked pulled pork is added to sourdough bread with an asian cole slaw, dijon mustard and provolone.

BEER AND BACON
A popular choice at concerts and brewery events.  Welsh rarebit, made with local beer, cheddar, bacon & arugula – one mighty sandwich …  maybe even two depending on your vision. Served on La Farm Bakery sourdough.

BUFFALO BLITZ
Sometimes there’s nothing better than a good buffalo sauce.  We toss grilled chicken in ours, add the local pepper jack cheese for an extra kick & serve it on La Farm Bakery’s sesame bread.

THE HANGOVER
The only place in the country, maybe the world, where people ASK for a hangover. This sandwich will set you straight with its homemade pimento cheese, salsa verde & a fried egg on Guglhupf Bakery’s Pullman loaf.

FORDHAM
Named after the University Alycia and Paul both attended in the Arthur Avenue neighborhood of the Bronx.  Naturally, coming from a largely Italian neighborhood, the colors of the Italian flag are tucked into this sandwich: Basil pesto, mozzarella, & sun-dried tomato on La Farm Bakery’s sesame bread.

SCARBOROUGH FARE
It’s a running joke that Alycia can’t even make a grilled cheese without Paul adding in his own unexpected twist.  A simple grilled cheese, inspired by the Simon & Garfunkel song: pureed herbs,  spread onto La Farm Bakery’s sourdough & topped with aged gouda.  Unexpected indeed.

MEXI-MELT
The combination of buttery pepper jack and vinegary cherry peppers was discovered while Paul was working at the Nasher museum.  This sandwich will help the fiesta going: cherry peppers, diced onion, cilantro & local Ashe County pepper jack melted onto Guglhupf Bakery’s rustic house bread.

‘LIL-LISH
Alycia’s breakfast heaven in sandwich form: La Farm Bakery’s sesame bread replaced her sesame bagel, local tomato (when in season) and muenster cheese. Named after Alycia (“Lish” for short).

  1. Isn’t cheddar from England? Can’t wait to try the Pig n’ Fig. Are there going to be specials or rotating melts?

    • Cheddar IS from England. The original “American Cheese” was a mix or blend of Colby and Cheddar. For now we will just be using the cheddar, but we will probably add a slice of Colby down the road as well. There will be rotating melts!

  2. Holy [expletive deleted]. Insane doesn’t begin to describe this stuff. “The Hangover” will make you want to drink, so you need “The Hangover” to nurse your hangover. 7/7 on the different sandwiches my crew just had for lunch in Raleigh. The big orange machine needs to get back here quick!

  4. I had the Fordham cheese sandwich last night, and it was outstanding. It was so good I told my husband he went and brought the exact sandwich. The only problem was once we got home I wanted another and all day this sandwich has been on my mind. Don’t leave without one to go.
