| - Local Loaf recently opened at the 7th Street Public Market's in Uptown Charlotte, NC and we are already hooked.
Adam Spears is the creative mind behind Local Loaf and the vision is to provide the finest freshly baked artisan breads, world class ciabattas, handed rolled baguettes, and a variety of fresh baked loaves. We haven't come across anything like this in the Queen City yet and we were in love at the first bite.
The Local Dip comes served on a hand rolled baquette with red wine braised sirloin, provolone cheese, caramelized onions, and au jus. The best part of this sandwich was easily the baguette. As a baker I (ella) really admire people who will take the time to hand craft the bread they serve. The baguette was light and airy, had great flavor and didn't cut the roof of my mouth when I ate it. The sirloin was dripping with flavor that paired perfectly with the provolone and carmel onions, and the au jus was the perfect dip.
I (curtis) opted for the hot steak sandwich which is served on a crusty baquette with marinated skirt steak, red onion jam, melted aged white cheddar, cress mirco greens, and topped off with a horseradish garlic aioli. I hate horseradish... but the horseradish garlic aioli was what I would consider "finger lickin' good" and the skirt steak was as juicy as it was fresh. This was the best steak sandwich I've had in... well... maybe ever?
We loved Local Loaf so much on our first trip we decided to head back a few days later to check out the breakfast menu. Ella got the chicken & egg biscuit with a generous piece of fried chicken breast topped with a Cheerwine chipotle honey glaze, aged white cheddar, a soft poached egg, and mustard greens.
This is by far the best tasting and most creative breakfast sandwich I (ella) have ever come across. The chicken was super juicy with the perfect amount of fried crunchy exterior and the poached egg added a nice sauce to soak up into the light fluffy biscuit. The part that really stood out was the spicy, sweet, and very delicious Cheerwine chipotle honey glaze. One bite of the chicken and egg biscuit made be an instant fan.
The steak & egg baguette came with marinated steak served with soft scrambled egg, honey roasted garlic and smoked jalapeno aioli, arugula served on a rustic hand-rolled baguette. I (curtis) absolutely loved the sandwich but didn't like the focaccia it was served on. Normally its served on a "rustic hand-rolled baquette" but they weren't ready when we were there so mine came on focaccia instead. Ella makes an amazing focaccia that I have become slightly accustomed too so maybe I'm a little biased but whatever.
Local Loaf just opened in the 7th St Public Market and if you haven't been by there lately you really need too. Chef Adam has an amazing concept on his hands and we're in love with Local Loaf.
