Erbert & Gerbert’s BBQ Brisket Sandwich Features Mac & Cheese

— November 25, 2018 — Lifestyle
Mac & Cheese has always been a beloved side dish, but now the meal is taking center stage thanks to Erbert & Gerbert’s new Mac & Cheese BBQ Brisket Sandwich. Available for a limited time only, the new sandwich is the ultimate pairing of meat and cheese.

The new Mac & Cheese BBQ Brisket Sandwich is an exclusive dish that starts with a layer of the chain's creamy Mac & Cheese. The cheesy noodles are then topped with with tender BBQ Brisket and a sweet and savory Citrus Chipotle BBQ sauce. Customers can then choose from one of five types of bread to complete their sandwich.

While cheesy noodles and BBQ meat may sound like an unusual pairing, the chain explains that, "It’s the same relationship that Mac & Cheese has to BBQ Brisket and Erbert has to Gerbert. There are things in this world that just cannot exist without each other. You might say, it’s a match made in cosmic heaven."
