Fresh Coast Sliders’ BST

Tastemaker

Aug. 12, 2023

If you’re the type of person who always wants to try a bite off everyone else’s plate, head to Fresh Coast Sliders. This innovative sandwich shop whips up tiny handhelds packed with flavor so you can sample your way through the menu without having to loosen your belt a notch. (For reference, a hungry party of two demolished five sliders, an order of onion rings, and the sweet potato fries tossed in cinnamon-chipotle seasoning.) The standout from the meal was the BST, a twist on the classic BLT. This iteration is made with Plath’s bacon, fresh spinach and tomato, and garlic aioli on a soft potato roll bun. The quality and quantity of the bacon and aioli put this a notch above your average sandwich, and it was washed down perfectly with a glass of Fresh Coast’s house-made flavored lemonade. (Options rotate each week.) Get yours ($4.50) at the Back Lot in Charlevoix, 230 Ferry Ave. Order online and see the whole menu at fcsliders.com.
