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