| - Woah, consider me pretty blown away after one visit to Local Loaf. The Chicken & the Egg and the BLT were both incredible sandwiches.
I ordered the BLT, which comes with fried green tomatoes, bacon, popcorn shoots, and white pimento cheese. To call this sandwich a BLT is honestly a bit of a stretch, the star of the show was definitely the pimento cheese. The bacon was cooked perfectly- not super floppy but not overdone and crunchy either and the fried green tomatoes added a little crunch and good flavor. There were very few popcorn shoots, however, and with the tomatoes being fried it didn't really remind me of a BLT much. This doesn't mean the sandwich wasn't good though because the white pimento cheese was incredible. You could put it on 2 week old Wonder bread and still make a tasty sandwich.
As good as the BLT was, the chicken & the egg biscuit might have been even better! The biscuit was nice and fluffy, the cheddar added a nice dimension, and the poached egg was perfectly cooked and burst open as soon as my girlfriend cut into the sandwich. The best part by far though was the chicken. The chicken tenders were heavily spiced, but the chipotle Cheerwine sauce provided the perfect balance of sweet. I would order these tenders at just about any restaurant on their own; adding in the biscuit, cheese, and egg just made it incredible.
The prices were very reasonable as well, especially for a farm to fork location with very high quality ingredients. My only complaint is that when I ordered I didn't mention sides for either sandwich and the cashier never asked, so my girlfriend and I assumed sides were extra and weren't worried about getting any. Instead we later realized we could've chosen between cucumber salad, chips, or soup ($1 more for soup) but instead were just given chips which neither of us really wanted. Overall, I can't complain much about this, I just wish the cashier had asked us our choice (or we had read the menu better haha).
