Grahamwich Menu Revealed: Get Ready to Pig Out

When it comes to lunchtime in River North, you have so many options: Mexican? Vietnamese? American? Vegetarian? Fortunately when Grahamwich finally does open—which may or may not be later this month, although fingers crossed!—you and your work pals can pop in and order whatever you want from Graham Elliot's eclectic International sandwich menu.

The menu at Grahamwich will feature eight types of sandwiches, like beef shortrib, grilled cheese, veggie wrap and banh mi. But these won't be any ordinary sandwiches, mind you. The shortrib will have shoestring potatoes, roasted shallots and creamy horseradish; a jibarito press will have pork shoulder, pickled mango and queso fresco; and the grilled cheese? We have two words for you: cheese curds.

In addition to the sandwiches, which will all run $10, Grahamwich will offer snacks like popcorn, salad, chips and pickles. And once again, put aside any preconceived notions of what you think you know those to be. They'll also serve housemade sodas with flavors like vanilla kola, ginger-citrus and root beer. And for dessert? Greek yogurt or cinnamon stick soft serve, of course. While no one of will enjoy these offerings until the big guy says go, we at least can start thinking about how we'll jump the line to get our food faster.
