National Sandwich Month is underway and several independent Las Vegas chefs have put unique stamps on the art worthy of national attention (Pictured: Esther’s Porchetta Sandwich).
- Esther’s Kitchen: The popular “Best of Las Vegas” Arts District seasonal Italian restaurant offers several classic and vegetarian housemade sandwiches including these highlights:
- Mushroom Panini — This upgraded grilled cheese combines fontina and tartufo (black truffle) cheeses with a five mushroom mix, aioli, chives and lemon, grilled on housemade sourdough and finished with an extra crust of cheese on the outside.
- Porchetta Sandwich — Juicy house made porchetta is roasted and shaved on a roll with pork cracklins, spicy rabe and pickled chilis.
- EDO Tapas & Wine: Located in Las Vegas’ bustling Chinatown, EDO offers a modern take on Catalonian tapas, gin & tonics and Iberico de bellota (also “Best of Las Vegas”).
- Bikini — Possibly the world’s skinniest, most delicious sandwich, this take on the Spanish classic combines sobrasada and mahon cheese for an impossible amount of flavor in a wafer-thin package. ($7)
- Graffiti Bao: The new take on Southeast Asian street food by former TAO Group Corporate Chef Marc Marrone combines traditional forms with boundary-breaking tastes.
- Royale with Cheese — While a bao may not be a sandwich per se, this hand held doughy dumpling filled with meat is about as close as it gets in some parts of the world. Chef Marc took it for a ride, filling it with ground beef and cheese for a tribute to the American burger via Paris (w/nod to favorite movie Pulp Fiction).
- Served: Chef Matt Meyer’s Henderson outpost mixes classic Americana with French technique and Pacific rim flavors for a menu of dishes bursting with delicious twists.
- Korean Cheesesteak — Spicy pork bulgogi is smothered in cheese sauce and topped with kimchi and pickled radish for a mind-blowing wrestling match in your mouth between Seoul and South Philly.
- Served is also offering a Sandwich Month Special Offer throughout August: Buy one sandwich or burger on Brunch menu, get one 50% off-or-Any sandwich 50% off with purchase of other entree on Dinner menu (discount applies to lesser priced item).
