Cellar 152’s Jamaican Jerk Crispy Chicken Sandwich

Tastemaker

March 4, 2023

Most of our stops to Cellar 152 in Elk Rapids involve grabbing a bottle from their impressive wine selection, but when time allows, we like to sit down and take it slow for lunch or dinner. And when we do, the Jamaican Jerk Crispy Chicken sandwich is always on the tab ($16). This sandwich favors flavor over spice; the buttery brioche and Swiss cheese balance the heat from the chicken and the jerk aioli, and pickled onion and bacon elevate the classic lettuce and tomato accompaniments. It’s a must-have for anyone who peruses menus for fried chicken. (Guilty as charged.) Chips or coleslaw come standard, but we recommend leveling up with a side of the Bacon Cheddar Tater Kegs ($3 with the sandwich), a specialty at the pub.
