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:
There are also trays that can feed about two dozen:
