Robbie Burns Day
So tomorrow is January 25th and the Scots among you will know that means it’s Robbie Burns Day. Well a bunch of my Scottish friends got together and convinced me that The Construction Site should do something to commemorate the day. Well I’m generally pretty game to try new things, and I’d had Haggis on a trip to Scotland once before. So I figured why not try to make our own...

Ze Hüntbürg is Zëlicioüs
It’s another week and we have another customer selected special for you it is called Ze Hüntbürg (and yes the umlauts were specified by the customer too). It replaces the Miss Piggy, and follows in her meaty tradition. This time though, we’re talking roast beef with a slightly sharp 3-year old aged cheddar, caramelized onions and horseradish all on panini bianca. This is a delicious...

Gluten Free Experimentation
So we in the post lunch slow period we decided to have some fun with experimentation. I’ve been asked more than a few times when we would have gluten free options for people. My answer is always this, when I find a gluten free option that actually tastes good. My biggest problem with gluten free product is that it generally is pretty terrible, and it is charged at a premium. This sucks. So...

So Long and Thanks for All the Fish
As tragic as it may be for some, The Miss Piggy is not long for this world. At the time of this writing we have the ingredients to serve 12 more Miss Piggy’s. It has been a great grilled cheese for those among us that love strong flavours. Without a doubt it incorporated the stinkiest cheese we have served to date, but that didn’t deter many people from trying one and really enjoying...

The Madame Piggy
Well The Miss Piggy has been running for a few days now, and I’ve been toying with some ideas for an epic version. All I really knew when I started to think of ideas was that I wanted more pork. I figured since it’s called The Miss Piggy, the Epic edition just has to up the pork quotient. So I figured I’d start by upping the actual amount pulled pork and then wrapping it with...

Our First Menu Change
So today we made our very first menu change. As promised we are changing our menu every month to better reflect the desires of our customers. To do this we are taking our worst selling grilled cheese and giving it the boot in favour of that month’s best selling special. Well it was pretty close between The Sheeva and The Cha Cha Cha, but in the end, gooey Jalapeño Havarti and fresh Avocado...

Miss Piggy is a Delicious Treat
Some would say anthropomorphizing a grilled cheese is a bad idea. We at The Construction Site say why not. I mean we’ve already had The Joe Carter, Toronto’s best shot at beating Philly in the Cheesesteak wars. So when the new customer selected special, chosen so graciously by Gary, came up, and someone yelled out that it should be called Miss Piggy, we said, great idea. I mean, what...

The Sheeva is Back!
So the Joe Carter ran out yesterday, and Gary has already selected the next special, and it will be a great one, but it’s going to take probably until Monday to get everything sorted out for it. So in the meantime we figured we’d bring back a crowd favorite, The Sheeva. Yes it’s back, with all its Mac and Cheese goodness, but this time we decided to change things up a bit. We...

Joe Carter's Reign
The Joe Carter has been running for so long that I can barely remember a time without it. But like all things, it’s reign will end, and it looks like the end will be coming soon. We have enough ingredients to make a little less than 20 of them. Based on our experiences so far, this should last until sometime tomorrow, but who knows, we could run out today or not until Thursday. I guess only...

I’m looking forward to an amazing 2012 and hope that you are all excited for what is to come, grilled cheese wise that is. Hopefully no one is too disappointed, but we are closed for both New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day. I look...
