"A drive-thru sandwich shop in Spring Branch run by MasterChef alumna Christine Ha removed its Humpty Dumpty Egg’wich (an egg salad sandwich) from the menu rather than raise its price because the cost of its main ingredient became too high. “We’re hoping it’s a temporary removal,” Ha says. “We just didn’t want to increase [the price of the sandwich] so significantly for our customers, so we decided we’ll just ‘kind of’ remove it from the menu for now. Hopefully, the Avian flu and egg situation gets under control.” Ha notes that the moratorium won’t extend to all egg-containing sandwiches — the Tuna Crunch will remain on the menu since egg plays a smaller role, she says." - Brittany Britto Garley
"A passion project for MasterChef winner Christine Ha and her husband, this new Spring Branch joint is an ode to their deep appreciation of sandwiches. Find nostalgia-inducing combinations like the crustless Humpty Dumpty egg salad sandwich, a crunchy tuna salad sandwich packed with potato chips, plus hot sandwiches including a molten triple cheese grilled cheese, a Belly smash burger, and a Sichuan hot chicken sandwich. Make it full meal with tater tots or potato chips." - Brittany Britto Garley
"Though a clear departure from the Vietnamese cuisine she's better known for, this sandwich shop by MasterChef winner and James Beard Award-nominated chef Christine Ha is a Spring Branch neighborhood favorite. The Belly burger is no exception: made with two smashed beef chuck patties, this burger comes stacked with caramelized onions, American cheese, pickles, and its signature Stuffed sauce on a toasted potato bun." - Minh Truong, Brittany Britto Garley
"Christine Ha has made a name for herself as the winner of MasterChef’s third season and as a James Beard Award-nominated chef of Vietnamese restaurant Xin Chao. Now, she’s creating a reputation in the world of sandwiches, with this new Spring Branch drive-thru, which offers a pleasantly crisp fried Sichuan chicken sandwich, topped with pickles and a Sichuan mayo; a solid smash burger; and her rendition of a tuna sandwich and egg salad sandwich that will make you relive a little of your childhood. Don’t forget to order the loaded tots, which are smothered in a creamy queso, and topped with ground beef and green onion for a hearty side order." - Brittany Britto Garley
"The chef opened a drive-thru sandwich shop, Stuffed Belly — a passion project of hers and her husband — earlier this month." - Brittany Britto Garley
