This summer, we’re spicing things up at the Dairy Bar! Introducing our featured grilled cheese: The Smokin’ Hot on Rye bread. The Smokin’ Hot is the creative combination of Sriracha Jack cheese, a hot, spicy and sweet sauce blended into a jack cheese, paired wonderfully with a medium aged smoked cheddar. When the sweetened spicy cheese melts together with the hint of smoke, the flavor is amazing! Envelop that gooeyness in fresh Rye bread? Wow! There’s no doubt this Dairy Bar sandwich has a grown up flair. We’ve grabbed the smoked cheeses off a common household cheese platter and blended those delicious flavors with the trendy flavor of Sriracha hot sauce (also called Rooster sauce!). Come August, this sandwich will have you crowing for more!
