Gourmet Casual Meals

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The Gourmet Sandwich Club Puts a Premium Spin on Classic Dishes

— March 17, 2015 — Lifestyle
The Gourmet Sandwich Club, which is based in Bristol, United Kingdom, has made these typically casual dishes something premium and sophisticated. Although they may still be messy considering how jam-packed with quality ingredients they are, it would be hard to liken them to the school lunches packed lovingly by parents.

Founded as a pop-up in 2014, The Gourmet Sandwich Club has since grown significantly in popularity. With its cheese portobello grilled mushroom, steak and sweet onion salad, harissa spiced butterfly chicken and roast pork options, it comes as no surprise that The Gourmet Sandwich Club has taken over the kitchen at The Brass Pig. Made for those with 'educated palates,' the gourmet sandwiches show how average meals can be taken to the next level with experimental recipes and the finest ingredients.
Trend Themes
1. Gourmet Casual Meals - Restaurants and food companies can create innovative yet accessible menu offerings that elevate traditional casual dishes to a gourmet level using high-quality ingredients.
2. Premium Pop-up Dining - Entrepreneurs can leverage pop-up dining events to showcase premium versions of traditional dishes, fostering a sense of exclusivity among diners and building brand awareness.
3. Experimental Ingredient Combos - Chefs and recipe developers can innovate by experimenting with unique ingredient combinations to create novel gourmet versions of classic casual meals with outstanding flavors and textures.
Industry Implications
1. Restaurant - Restaurants can offer customers a high-end and sophisticated experience by transforming traditional casual dishes with premium ingredients and innovative recipe development.
2. Food and Beverage - Food and beverage companies can develop innovative product lines featuring high-quality ingredients and experimental combinations to meet the rising demand for gourmet casual meals.
