Texas-Style Cheese Sandwiches

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Dickey's Barbecue Pit Now Sells Grilled Cheese Made with Texas Toast

— January 8, 2018 — Lifestyle
While Dickey's Barbecue Pit may be known for its barbecue meats, which are slow-smoked on site, now the chain is offering a different kind of comfort food with the addition of grilled cheese sandwiches made with Texas toast.

Dickey's new grilled cheese sandwiches are the latest addition to the chain's line-up of kids' menu dishes. The sandwich itself consists of slices of gooey cheddar cheese stuffed between two slices of buttery Texas toast. The sandwich can be enjoyed by itself or as part of a Kids Meal.

However, its not just kids that will get to enjoy the chain's tasty take on Texas toast. Adults can also enjoy a slice of Texas toast or a cornbread muffin as a substitute for the Dickey's classic buttery roll.
Trend Themes
1. Texas Toast Grilled Cheese - The trend of creative variations of grilled cheese sandwiches made with Texas toast is an opportunity for restaurants to cater to customers' desire for comfort food with unique twists.
2. Kids' Menu Innovation - The trend of elevating kids' menu items with gourmet ingredients like cheddar cheese and Texas toast provides an opportunity for restaurants to attract families and increase revenue.
3. Bread Substitute Options - The trend of offering alternative bread options like Texas toast and cornbread muffins instead of classic rolls allows restaurants to cater to customers' varying dietary preferences and creates a point of differentiation.
Industry Implications
1. Fast Food - Fast food chains have an opportunity to incorporate Texas toast grilled cheese sandwiches into their menus to provide a comforting and customizable option for customers.
2. Family Dining - Family restaurants can differentiate themselves and appeal to parents by providing kids with a gourmet grilled cheese sandwich on Texas toast as a more refined version of a classic kids' menu dish.
3. Bakery - Bakeries and cafes can capitalize on the popularity of Texas toast by offering creative grilled cheese sandwich variations to attract customers seeking comfort food with a twist.
