| - It is a very good thing that I live nowhere near this place. My life expectancy would plummet dramatically. The sandwich I had there was just so darn good no amount of reason, willpower or moderation would be able to keep me from eating here way too often.
After reading about this place here on Yelp and a few other sites I decided to give it a try. Lucky for me, it was on a weekday so there was no wait. I instantly liked the place based solely off of the classic arcade cabinet glass decorating the beer coolers. (Note to self: find somewhere to buy those!)
First order of business was to get a beer (aided by the bartender that was a quick task to accomplish despite the large list) and start deciding what sandwich to try. I knew that it was to be a grilled cheese, but even with that narrowing it down there was still a very lengthy list to read through.
I eventually decided on the Big Popper. The bartender stated that this was a very good choice, but she did warn me about the raw jalapenos. No problem, bring it on.
This thing was amazing. By far miles away from any grilled cheese I've ever had. Heck, this may just be the best sandwich I've ever had. Chedder and cream cheese, fresh raw jalapeno slices on thick toast, battered and deep-fried, then dusted with powdered sugar and served with a berry compote dip.
I live in the Dallas area, home of the Texas State Fair, which every year has many people competing on who can create the best deep-fried item. I've tried a few of the winners over the years, and none of them hold a candle to the Big Popper.
