The Jack Hammer

Yeah, I know, its a boring title, but I couldn’t think of any jokes worthy, so I figured I might as well not try for fear of embarrassing myself. Well the Jack Hammer is the replacement Feature Grilled Cheese to the HotStepper and it follows it up quite well. While it’s not as in your face as the HotStepper was, the combination of flavours is awesome. It has a really great subtleness to it that you wouldn’t expect from the name. And if you notice it is once again on Panini Bianca. I really love this bread and am basically putting all of our Features on it in hopes that the bread will eventually make it onto the main menu. I’m glad that our Feature-selecting customers have been happy to indulge me in this way. Thanks go to Taylor for choosing a great grilled cheese.

The Jack Hammer, a not so subtle creation on Panini Bianca with Monterey Jack, Serrano Ham and Balsamic Reduction Caramelized Red Onions. This is a good one.

Another Week

It’s the beginning of another week and while it’s miserably cold outside, there are some great reasons to make the trek to The Construction Site for some great grilled cheese. Firstly we have our Monday student promotion with a classic grilled cheese, chips or salad and any Boylan’s vintage soda for $7 all-in. Not bad for those cash strapped students out there.

We also have a new feature in the offing. Saturday saw the Hotstepper step on out, with Taylor getting a shot at grilled cheese immortality. So far I’m liking where his head’s at, so I’m hoping we’ll get his feature going tomorrow. But I wanted to take this chance to thank Narbir for the Hotstepper, it was a great back to basics feature that I thought was stellar. Big shoes to fill Taylor, let’s see how you do.

For those that love a little heat, here comes The Hotstepper! Just the right amount of burn, with some great flavour. Jalapeño Havarti, Genoa Salami and Honey Roasted Jalapeños on Panini Bianca

Here Comes The Hotstepper

Today we finally get our new special after some drawn out decision making, but I think it’s worth the wait, particularly for those of you that like a bit of heat. This one brings us back to something more along the lines of a traditional grilled cheese, after the fun and funkiness of Southern Hospitality. For this one we are using our Jalapeño Havarti, a nice and spicy Genoa Salami and some in-house honey roasted Jalapeños on Panini Bianca. While it won’t blow your face off, it has a good amount of heat, and a lot of flavour. We might progress this one a bit further, because I really want to experiment a bit with the Jalapeños, (maybe adding some fruit in with the roasting) so don’t be surprised if this one gets slightly different as we go.

So Much for Southern Hospitality

Well that title might sound a bit too negative, considering Southern Hospitality was quite the hit. So much so, that I didn’t even get a chance to make an epic version before we ran out of ingredients. That’s really disappointing too, because I had an amazing idea for that epic. Oh well, I’ll just save up the creative energies and put them to good use with the next feature. And who knows, maybe one day I’ll be bored enough to make some belgian waffles and fried chicken just for an epic. Now we’re just eagerly awaiting our next customer selection to come in. I’m expecting great things, because things just seem to keep getting better and more interesting.
