Paragon Holiday Grilled Cheese Pop-Up + The Return of Breakfast Sandwiches

12.07.22

The recently-opened Paragon at SOCO celebrates the season with a cozy, upscale dinner pop-up celebrating delicious takes on the Grilled Cheese Sandwich. These Holiday Grilled Cheese Dinners will take place 5-10 p.m. every Thursday, Friday, and Saturday through Friday, Dec. 23.

“We wanted to take something that most everybody loves–the Grilled Cheese Sandwich–and put the Paragon spin on it, a few times over,” Executive Chef Dean Isom said. “ I’ve created two soups for the pop-up, too. Grilled cheese and soup when it’s cold out is the paragon of comforting food to me, and in many ways, that’s really what we’re all about.”

The pop-up menu features:

SANDWICHES (with gruyere, cheddar, and parmesan cheeses)

Bacon Grilled Cheese / smoked bacon, red wine demi-glace, tomato
Mushroom Grilled Cheese/spinach, cremini mushrooms, swiss cheese
Chorizo Grilled Cheese / chorizo, avocado, tomato
Crab Grilled Cheese/lump crab, avocado, tomato
Grilled Cheese/gruyere, cheddar, and parmesan

SOUPS

Tomato Bisque / toasted sourdough
Potato Leek Soup / toasted sourdough

SALADS

Caesar Salad / marinated anchovies, reggianito, lemon croutons
Honey Gem Salad / pickled onions, herb goat cheese, red wine vinaigrette

SIDES

Truffle Fries
Garlic Parmesan Tots
Small Tomato Bisque
Small Potato Leek Soup
Add a Side to Your Sandwich for $5

DESSERT

Pots De Crème / rich chocolate and coffee, raspberry whipped cream

Paragon is also bringing their fan-favorite breakfast sandwiches back to the menu starting Dec. 1. These sandwiches were originally on the menu when Paragon was a breakfast/brunch pop-up located inside of Shuck Oyster Bar, across the center at SOCO, inside of the OC Mix.

Sandwiches are available for dine-in, takeout and catering. The menu includes:
