Welcome to Sandwich of the Week, where we at CHAR endeavour every week, we’ll bring you the latest and greatest in the world of Dublin Sandwiches, from towering Dagwoods to delicate tea sandwiches.
In the ever-evolving landscape of sandwich craftsmanship, CHAR has uncovered a true gem that demands recognition as our Sandwich of the Week. The humble sandwich is a work of art. It’s a knife’s edge balance of flavours and textures. Sandwiches are a portable feast that can be eaten on the go or savoured slowly. Dublin Sandwiches are our favourite way to eat. They pack together everything we love in slightly different yet comfortably familiar ways. That means that when you buy a sandwich, it has to be good. It has to do something you can’t do.
The Patty Melt
With its succulent beef patty, decadent melted cheddar and American cheese, caramelized red onions, creamy aioli, and crisp rocket, this sandwich transcends the boundaries of traditional fare and sets a new standard for flavour and satisfaction.
In the ever-evolving world of culinary innovation, it is essential to pay homage to the classics, even if they’re American classics. And there are few things as classically American as the ‘patty melt’. Here Carved successfully achieves this balance, celebrating the heritage of the iconic Patty Melt while incorporating Irish flavours, ingredients and penchant. With its succulent beef patty, decadent melted cheddar and American cheese, caramelized red onions, creamy aioli, and crisp rocket, this sandwich transcends the boundaries of traditional fare and sets a new standard for flavour and satisfaction.
From the juicy Irish beef to the irresistible cheese blend, the harmonious interplay of ingredients on butter-crusting bouncy bread creates a nostalgic chonker of a sandwich. I mean, just look at it. A sandwich is only as good as the cheese that envelops it, and the beef patty sandwich does not disappoint. The combination of melted cheddar and American cheese creates a symphony of creamy indulgence. This creamy, velvety concoction brings a luxurious and indulgent element, adding a delightful richness that is a departure from the classic but undeniably delicious. It amplifies this bad boy to the upper echelons to melted cheesy goodness.
We can argue about the merits of incorporating a burger into a sandwich if you want, but that won’t change the pact that is a sandwich worth hightailing it to Grand Canal for this week.
