These Des Moines sandwiches regularly sell out
From melty cheesesteaks to fat-stacked Reubens, The Good Butcher , off Ingersoll, is regularly selling out of its weekly Sandwich Tuesday specials. Why it matters: Food is fun, and these creative sandwiches get the shop's chefs to think outside of the box while also using locally sourced meats. How it started: A year ago, actor Nick Offerman was in town, and in an attempt to get him through the doors, The Good Butcher created a sandwich called The Offerman, chef Aaron Byrd tells Axios. While the celebrity didn't come in, dozens of customers did, prompting the butcher shop to regularly hold Sandwich Tuesday, Byrd says. State of play: The shop's brainstorming often starts with whatever excess meats are available. Sometimes it's extra smoked sausage or chuck eye steak. The sandwich is posted Tuesday morning, and the employees each try a bite to make sure it's good to go. The intrigue: Sometimes the flavors are international-inspired, like Balkan ćevapi sliders or a house-marinated bulgogi banh mi. What's next: Byrd says he's considering a chicken shawarma next week. The shop serves sandwiches from around 10:30am to 1pm.
