The Erbert & Gerbert’s Porkwich is a limited-edition sandwich being offered for patrons to pick up this holiday season as an indulgent, flavorful item to enjoy.
The sandwich starts off with a freshly baked piece of French bread that's packed with pulled pork and topped with real Wisconsin cheese sauce and BBQ sauce for a creamy yet tangy flavor. The sandwich is then finished with crispy onions and pickles for a crunch in every bite.
The Erbert & Gerbert’s Porkwich is only being offered at participating locations for a short while and is priced at $9.99. The sandwich comes as part of the wintertime recipes being launched by several brands in the lead-up to the holidays as consumers crave more comforting, satiating fare.
