Giant meat sandwich on the menu: New sandwich bar off to a flying start

Brød & Fyld opened the doors to its second location over the weekend, built around a simple promise: never skimp on the fillings.

And on the menu, one item in particular stands out – a truly massive meat-packed sandwich.

“We had queues all weekend. We were completely blown away by the response,” says owner Sarah Pape Mouneimne.

Four types of meat and two cheeses

Brød & Fyld serves a wide selection of sandwiches, burgers and bowls.

Many of them are familiar classics you have probably come across before.

But under the “Brød & Fyld Special” section of the menu, you will find the ultimate sandwich for meat lovers: the aptly named “Meat Lover”.

“It was actually my husband who insisted that we should make one like this,” Sarah says with a laugh, adding that he is a true meat lover himself.

The sandwich is packed with no fewer than four different types of meat, two kinds of cheese, onions and barbecue sauce.

It is available in both XL and XXL – and if you go for the biggest version, you will have around 30 centimetres of sandwich to work your way through.

“A lot of people share it. But of course, we also have some customers who manage to eat the whole big one themselves,” Sarah says.

During the opening weekend, one customer decided to take the challenge even further.

“I actually made a double XXL for him – basically something close to an XXXXL,” Sarah says.

But when the customer returned to the shop later, he was slightly less confident.

“He came back and had to admit that he had only managed to eat half of it,” Sarah says with a laugh.

For Sarah, the busy opening weekend marks another chapter in what has already been a remarkable few months.

When she opened the first Brød & Fyld in Hals in March, she had not expected the concept to grow so quickly.

Just a few months later, she now has two locations – and plenty of happy, well-fed customers at both.

And while the Meat Lover XXL may not be for every appetite, it sums up the philosophy behind Brød & Fyld perfectly:

They certainly do not skimp on the fillings.

Brød & Fyld is now open at Vestergade 3.
