    Sandwich News

    Stacked sandwiches at a nice price arrive at Dallas' Design District

    A cute new sandwich shop has opened in the Design District, serving stacked sandwiches at a pretty sweet price. Called Stack's Sandwich Co., it opened in late June at 150 Turtle Creek Blvd., in a space that was most recently Celebrity Cafe and Bakery, and which was once home to Margaux.

     

    Stack's is from Robert Stack, a young and extremely likable entrepreneur who has previously worked at well-known restaurants such as Smoke, the Statler, and Victor Tangos. He paid his dues and saved his money until he could open his own place.

     

    Given the neighborhood, Stack's is focused on lunch but with a rare combination of artisanal flair and low price.

     

    They're making their own breads for the sandwiches, smoking their own brisket, doing all fresh food, and yet the sandwiches are $7. Yes, that is correct, $7.

     

    "Keeping the price low is a focus of mine," Stack says. "I'm in the service industry. I go out to eat a lot, and the prices are crazy. We're keeping our price point where all our sandwiches are $7, but you get good, fresh food."

     

    He's also interested in doing creative and seasonal offerings.

     

    "The other idea behind our menu is that the possibility of the sandwich is endless," he says. "We're keeping a limited menu of five sandwiches, but those will rotate out seasonally, and we'll switch up our salads with the seasons, too."

     

    "Right now, for summer, we have a good melon salad with shaved country ham, goat cheese, frisee, and candied pecans," he says. "I am also doing more vegetable- and fruit-driven salads instead of just lettuce."

     

    One of his current favorite sandwiches is the fried tomato with pimento cheese, which they serve on an unusual bread, made in-house, of course.

     

    "The bread is a hybrid of sandwich bread and corn bread," he says. "We make a sandwich bread, but we use blue corn meal so it has this indigo hue."

     

    One of their most stupendous sandwiches is the torta de brisket, served on a house-made bolillo roll — did we mention they make their own bread? It comes with shredded smoked brisket, ancho-chile ketchup, black bean aioli, Oaxaca cheese, sliced avocado, and papalo, a Mexican herb that he describes as "a bright, amped-up version of cilantro."

     

    "It's a monster sandwich," Stack says.

     

    Other menu items include avocado fries and corn croquettes — "like a fried bite of elotes," he says.

     

    They're also open for breakfast, with a menu that includes those really thick pancakes that are a trend right now, and are also smoking meats such as bacon in-house, which they sell by the pound.

     

    "I'd love for this to turn into a deli grab-and-go, like a Jimmy's, just to bring that to this side of town," he says.

    Smoothie News

    Healthy smoothie chain from the Northeast makes Dallas-area debut

    A smoothie chain from the Northeast has landed in Dallas-Fort Worth: Called Fresh Monkee, it's a chain from Connecticut that made its DFW debut in Richardson at 3501 Custer Pkwy. #119, in the Custer Creek shopping center, where it opened July 1.

    Fresh Monkee was founded by entrepreneur Judy Flynn in Wethersfield, Connecticut in 2014. It has since expanded to 20 locations across 15 states. Four locations are planned for Texas, including Austin and Houston. The Richardson location is from franchisees Anam and Omer Nawab.

    In a release, Flynn notes that many smoothie places rely on sugary fruit blends and "strange" powders.

    "Most juice bars strip away the fiber from fruits and veggies, which is essential for a healthy gut and feeling satisfied," Flynn says in a press release. "I was convinced we could do better."

    Their menu includes 30 varieties: fruit smoothies, green smoothies, chocolate smoothies, and coffee smoothies, with seasonal flavors such as the summer-ready watermelon strawberry limeade shake.

    Notable options include:

       
    • Chunkee Monkee — milk, chocolate or vanilla protein powder, banana, and peanut butter
    • Filthy Monkee — milk, chocolate protein powder, brownie protein bar, and peanut butter
    • Coffee Buzz — milk, a splash of cream, chocolate protein powder, coffee cubes, vanilla extract, and Stevia
    • Orange Cream — milk, orange juice, vanilla protein, and a whole orange
    • Maui Colada — coconut milk, orange juice, vanilla protein, unsweetened coconut shreds, pineapple, and mango
    They also carry a protein ball snack with peanut butter, oat flour, chocolate whey protein, and maple syrup, rolled in coconut oil and chocolate chips.

    Each location has indoor seating, including couches and tables, but they're mainly a to-go concept.

    Another pair of franchisees, Clarence Gadapati and Karuna Annavajjala, are opening a location in Arlington, at 5904 S. Cooper St. #120, in the Sublett Corners center, where it will open in August.
