CONCEPT DEVELOPMENT CONT’D
These light, flavorful and nutritious sandwiches can be found across the country. The
Americans have used their creativity and added a twist to the art of panini sandwich
making. Panini sandwiches are filled with combinations of gourmet ingredients such
as prosciutto, roasted red peppers, pesto, fresh sweet basil, sun-dried tomatoes. The
sandwiches are made with focaccia or rustic porous breads sliced and grilled with
striped grill marks. The uniqueness is in the grilling itself. It is a gentle heat that
crisps the bread while steaming the ingredients on the inside without drying it out.
When you couple these product features with the art of performing the grilling right
in front of the customer, your restaurant becomes a theater.
