Fans of smash-style burgers and Nashville hot chicken have a reason to get excited about two new offerings from Meat & Co., the sandwich-centric food truck at Zocalo Food Park, 636 S. 6th St. in Walker’s Point.
The new menu items, which include a smash-style burger and a deli-style Nashville hot chicken sandwich, will roll out beginning on Wednesday, Nov. 2.
Here's what's in store
The Zocalo Burger will feature two 3-ounce smashed patties, Cooper’s Sharp American cheese, shaved red onion and burger sauce on a pillowy soft Martins potato roll ($13). Expect a classic smash burger with crisp, hard-seared patties and a classic burger flavor.
Meanwhile the Deli Style Nashville Hot Chicken sandwich will feature crispy chicken cutlets dressed in classic Nashville hot oil and dusted with Nashville hot dry rub served on Texas toast with Duke’s mayonnaise, sharp white cheddar cheese and Grillo’s pickles ($15).
Other stand-out sandwiches on offer by Meat & Co. include The Lunch Box, a substantial sandwich featuring griddled mortadella, white cheddar, Duke’s mayo, Zapp’s Voodoo chips and fresh vinegar-based slaw served up on thick-cut toasted white bread ($14).
Guests can also order their Chopped Cheese, an East Coast classic featuring seared ground beef chopped with melty cheese and topped with cheese, shaved onion, lettuce, tomato, ketchup, and Duke's mayo. It's a glorious mess of burger-esque deliciousness ($15).
Meat & Co. is open Wednesday through Saturday from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. and Sunday from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m
