This charcuterie board chain just opened a location near us so I wanted to try them out. Confession here--I'm not big on charcuterie boards. I tend to graze lightly from them when they are offered, they're just not my thing. But this place is branching out to offer single-serving meals, so I decided to broaden my tastes. They offer meal and snack size charcuterie selections, but when I came by I saw that ths location is also trying out sandwiches. I got the Carnivore Special and chased it with an Olipop Dr. Goodwin soda.
It was probably early to try the sandwich. The name makes one think of a big sandwich with several different meats. What I got was an ordinary-sized prosciutto and provolone sandwich with some homemade dressing and cucumbers on toasted wheat. Not a lot of meat compared to, say, Jersey Mike's or other fast food sandwich shops, and it didn't bite through real well (kept wanting to slide out of the sandwich). The flavor was great, you could tell the sauce was homemade. Not sure it was a $12 sandwich. I had not seen Olipop in the stores so wanted to try it. They make high-fiber low calorie sodas. The Dr. Goodwin is sort of like Dr. Pepper but not too similar. Still, I liked it and liked not feeling guilty drinking it.
The folks that own this location are good people, working hard to make an impression in the neighborhood. The presentations on their boards are beautiful. If this is your thing then it's worthwhile to upgrade from grocery store charcuterie.
