Underbelly is now delivering subs

11/28/2017

​I received an e-mail today from Underbelly, one of my favorite restaurants, announcing that the restaurant was beginning lunchtime sandwich delivery today to centrally located worksites: “Dubbed UB Sandwich, this newest venture from Shepherd and team will feature a selection of six sandwiches and three salads plus several options for sharing such as a crudité platter, a charcuterie platter and a mixed-sandwich platter,” adding that they “already have a great team at Underbelly that can execute this.”
 
All Sandwiches are $15 and come with Underbelly Chips, which I assume are house-made, and Victoria's Chocolate Chip Cookie.  Salads are $15, with an additional $5 to top it with chicken, and come with the cookie, a very good cookie, I'm guessing.  Having suffered through awful lunchtime boxed sandwich lunches – our two onsite eateries are pretty much incapable of making a halfway decent sandwich on a consistent basis – I think this is a great lunchtime meeting option to have.  And, Underbelly is just a mile from my offices. The minimum order for this is $150, and must be in by 9:30 AM of the day of delivery.  There are no delivery charges for locations inside the Loop. 
 
The sandwiches and salads from which to choose:
  • House Smoked Turkey Grinder – In-house pit-smoked turkey breast, lettuce, tomato jam and avocado on a whole wheat hoagie roll
  • The Double Club – In-house pit-smoked ham and turkey breast, cheddar, lettuce, sliced tomato, pickled peppers and mayonnaise on a white hoagie roll 
  • Cold Korean Fried Chicken – Fried chicken breast, cucumber, cabbage and gochujang mayo on a white hoagie roll
  • The Caprese – Fresh mozzarella pulled in-house, arugula, sliced tomato and basil cream on a white hoagie roll
  • Smoked Corned Beef – House-cured 44 Farms corned beef, fresh slaw, Swiss cheese, pickles and Russian dressing on marble rye
  • The Cha Ca Sandwich – Tumeric- and yogurt-marinated gulf fish salad, cabbage, pickled onion and dill on wheat bread
  • Underbelly Chopped Salad – Baby greens, chick peas, pickled peppers, dried cherries, feta, sunflower seeds and roasted red pepper vinaigrette 
  • Vietnamese-Style Roasted Chicken Salad (Gluten-free) – Slowly roasted pulled chicken, cabbage, baby greens, fresh herbs, pickled onion and nuoc mam vinaigrette
  • Salmon Salad – Smoked salmon, arugula green mix, red onion, cucumber, caper dressing, croutons 

There are also trays that can feed about two dozen:
  • Charcuterie Tray – Assorted meats, cheeses, pickled vegetables, whole grain mustard and toast
  • Sandwich Tray – Assortment of half-size sandwiches. includes underbelly chips
  • Farm-Fresh Crudite Tray – Fresh assorted vegetables and spring onion dip
  • Pimento Cheese Tray – Pimento cheese, pork cracklin’s, sesame rice crackers, pickled okra
  • Cookie Tray – Assorted cookies
