"First the donut sandwich. And now the Pretzel Roll Roast Beef Sandwich from Dunkin’ Donuts" by Chris Reidy | Globe Staff, August 05, 2013
Culinary creativity rarely takes a day off at Dunkin’ Donuts, where chefs at its R&D skunk-works are always intent on devising new innovations in hand-held cuisine.
A case in point: In a Monday press release, the Canton-based coffee-and-baked goods chain says it’s unveiling the Pretzel Roll Roast Beef Sandwich --- and this only two months after the much talked-about debut of the donut sandwich, a combo of pepper-fried egg and cherrywood-smoked bacon that uses a sliced glazed donut as its delivery platform.
And now we have the Pretzel Roll Roast Beef Sandwich as a possible lunch option for those who have breakfasted upon the donut sandwich.
Herewith an excerpt from the Monday release on the Pretzel Roll Roast Beef Sandwich.
“The sandwich features a warm pretzel roll with delicious roast beef, white cheddar cheese, and creamy Dijon sauce. Dunkin’ Donuts’ new crisp and tasty pretzel roll can also be enjoyed as part of any Dunkin’ Donuts Bakery Sandwich, including Ham & Cheese, Turkey, Cheddar & Bacon, Chicken Salad, and Tuna Salad. Dunkin’ Donuts also recently introduced two Chicken Sandwiches, Barbecue Chicken and Bacon Ranch Chicken. The Dunkin’ Donuts pretzel roll and Pretzel Roll Roast Beef Sandwich are available for a limited time at participating Dunkin’ Donuts restaurants nationwide.”
The pretzel roll sandwich line, meanwhile, can be accompanied by some new additions to Dunkin’s beverage menu.
The chain said it is bringing out a full line of caramel coffees, including the new Caramel Coconut Iced Coffee and Caramel Turtle.
In theory, this could lead to flavor-burst overload, someone washing down a Pretzel Roll Roast Beef Sandwich with a Caramel Turtle. But we suspect many locals will be more than up to the challenge.
