🗨️ From the Creator
“We love mixing flavors and seeing what happens when you bring comfort foods together in unexpected ways. This sandwich came from that kind of curiosity — layering tender beef, crispy bacon and creamy mac & cheese into one bite that’s rich, indulgent, and totally satisfying. It’s not fancy, but it hits all the right notes. For us, it’s about creating something that feels familiar but still surprises the guest — and this one does just that.”
