Allow us to reintroduce The Big Dipper! The Dipper is one of our premier HOT sandwiches, composed of your choice of Porketta, Pork Loin, or Salami Mix with sliced green olives and peperoncini, melted together with slices of provolone cheese on a buttered demi-baguette!
This ooey-gooey savory explosion of flavor is served alongside a dish our hausmade Zesty 3-Pepper Sauce—for dipping! Hence the name.
While The Big Dipper is served hot when you order it in-store, it’s also an awesome sandwich taken to-go! There’s something special about all the melty-oily goodness of the ingredients cooling down and congealing into something greater than merely the combination of its parts.
Whether you eat it hot out the oven, cold after a night in the fridge, an hour or two into a trail hike, or reheat in your broiler, you’re going to have a good time!
The Big Dipper also has a partner sandwich called the Squealy Dan: Once its own distinct menu item, we realized it is close enough in character to be considered a modification of the Big Dipper. A Squealy Dan is your choice of Porketta, Pork Loin, or Salami Mix with peperoncini, melted together with slices of provolone cheese on a buttered and black-pepper dusted demi-baguette! Dip sauce optional, but encouraged!
Whether it’s your standby (fun fact: we used to call the Squealy Dan “The Old Standby” because of its popularity as a staff-morale sandwich), or whether you’re just trying to break out of your cycle of endless Cajun Finns, we’re certain you’ll sing the praises of the Big Dipper!
Sandopedia: Salmon Melt
The Salmon Melt is a essentially a classic tuna melt, with a hearty portion of our Smoked Salmon Pâté substituted for the tuna salad: Two slices of buttered Haus-baked Pullman white bread, toasted alongside cheddar cheese-topped salmon pâté, assembled with a chunky dill pickle/red onion/celery relish. The Salmon Melt gives our Smoked Salmon Pâté—which itself features the bright and exciting blend of such flavors as lemon juice, horseradish, Cajun seasoning, dill, scallions, and parsley—another context in which to shine, and in unexpected circumstances: served hot.
Sandopedia: Cold Turkey
The savory-sweet Cold Turkey is nearly impossible to quit: Maple-sage smoked turkey breast cradled in a few ounces of crayo, nestled alongside mixed greens and Swiss cheese, all on stirato. Frankly, if our sandwich menu ever vexes you, the Cold Turkey is a great default. It's a sandwich that many, even among our very sandwich-spoiled staff, view as comfort food. It's the perennial, "nothing too exciting today, just the Cold Turkey." Which is not a bad thing at all. Add a Jean Jacket if you want some excitement.
Sandopedia: The Club-Mariner
A club sandwich like you’ve never seen before! An homage to the Golden Age of comic books in what may be the Golden Age of sandwiches! The Club-Mariner combines the flavor of land and sea, featuring the opulent pairing of Traditional Smoked Atlantic Salmon and crispy Smoked Pancetta, dressed with sweet hausmade quick pickles, lettuce, and a kiss of wasabi mayo on two slices of toasted white bread.
