I stopped at the PB&Js Grilled cart with Spencer in mind as something to enjoy as I continued running my errands yesterday. I was thrown off my game slightly because of the debut of a new special, a shiny sign with photo of a luxe bottle of bourbon and the red wax all sexy while alongside, the words read “Makers Mark Hair of the Dog”. Wait, does that bold print say Makers Mark soaked french challah toast? Does that say and with apple wood smoked bacon? And their peanut butter and blueberry jam and maple syrup!??? I had seen on their FB that they were concocting something, but missed what the result was and that it would debut that day! Well…
No. No. Stay strong. I stuck with Spencer: Campagnola bread, Walnut butter, Caramelized onion, Capicola, Brie, Pear Jam. That is what my intention was when I stopped by, let’s not get distracted. I told myself I would eat just half of that warm sammie, and then run into the stores I needed and finish the rest later. Yeah, it didn’t make it. I couldn’t stop. People were jealous as I took the photo below too- and who wouldn’t be, just look at it!
I was disappointed to miss their event with Upright Brewing that they did a couple months back when I was out of the country traveling for work, so am anxiously anticipating their grand opening of their brick and mortar in the future (still in the works – the overhead of opening a real place is a lot to try to do at the same time as running your everyday operations, new partner gigs they do, exploring new special combinatons to feature, and they will be Eat Mobile – the food cart/foodie festival that was their initial big debut just 2 years ago!). Each of their sandwiches are yes, versions of peanut butter and some sort of fruit jam sandwich, but that’s like saying french fries are just a version of potato…
I can’t wait to try more from their brilliant minds of flavor combinations once they have access to a bigger space for both storage and execution of more of their ideas. It’s hard to believe the huge menu they have from their little grill that varies from sandwiches with 4 different kind of breads, a dozen different kind of jams, a few different nut butters, and other toppings besides ranging from half a dozen of options for cheeses to sweets like chocolate or caramel or coconut fillings to the savory like the bacon or for the Spencer, the big pieces of Capicola- which ultimately what edged the Spencer to the top of my to do list. Can you imagine the possibilities with a real kitchen?
And, I will be back for that Hair of the Dog.
