Chez Boris is known for its famous [doughnut sandwiches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/donut-burger-1), or in French, 'Beignewiches.' Each one of the mouthwatering stacked creations is served on a homemade old-fashioned doughnut. Fillings include beef burger with bacon, quinoa burger with sauteed vegetables, and a Montreal classic of cream cheese, cucumber and lox. The laidback eatery serves more conventional options in a range of cuisine styles, like sushi, potstickers, fried tofu, baked potatoes and a variety of [iced dessert doughnuts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/voodoo-doughnut-420-treats). In honor of National Sandwich Day, restaurants all over North America are trying to one-up each other to create the most extreme meal between two pieces of bread. This Montreal sandwich skips the bread and comes up with something even better. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.8/10 - Popularity: 32% | Activity: 44% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Doughnut Sandwich Creations:** Create unique and mouth-watering sandwiches by replacing traditional bread with doughnuts. - **Gourmet Sandwich Alternatives:** Experiment with unusual ingredients and creative presentations to elevate classic sandwiches to a gourmet level. - **National Food Holidays:** Use national food holidays as marketing opportunities to attract customers and create buzz with special menu items and promotions. ### Where This Applies - **Restaurants:** Incorporate unique and creative sandwich options to attract customers and stand out in the crowded restaurant industry. - **Bakeries:** Collaborate with restaurants to provide doughnuts for use as sandwich bread, and offer unique doughnut sandwich options in their bakery. - **Food Trucks:** Take advantage of food holidays and the trend of creative sandwich alternatives by offering unique doughnut sandwich options on their mobile menus. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Seasonal Holiday Sandwiches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/turhamken-sandwich.md) - [Festive Sandwich Holidays](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nugsgiving.md) - [Celebratory Sandwich Promotions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bennigans-promotion.md) - [Sweet-Savory Bagel Donuts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/philadelphia-cream-cheese-debuts.md) - [Spicy Doughnut Burgers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fridays-signature-doughnut-burger.md) - [Sandwich Shop Donut Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ikes-donuts.md) - [Poutine-Stuffed Sandwiches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/poutine-dip-sandwich.md) - [Canadiana QSR Donuts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/canadiana-donut-menu.md) - [Beignet Bun Burgers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beignet-cheeseburger-sliders.md)
