Try Hops’ MCPPBGC

“It is all in its peculiar name,” co-owner Scott Hoppy says of the MCPPBGC, which stands for macaroni and cheese, pulled pork, bacon grilled cheese. “The hardest part of the sandwich was figuring out a name; I couldn't,” he says. “I decided on the initials, which has also caught the attention of customers browsing through the menu.”

The idea for the sandwich came from trying to put an exciting spin on the all-American classic sandwich, grilled cheese. “I tried to include staples that a majority of people enjoy,” says Hoppy. “After many messy concoctions, it all came together.”

When it comes to the dish's popularity, Hoppy says he thinks guests consider the sandwich “somewhat obnoxious but hard to resist,” dubbing it a guilty pleasure. Nonetheless, it's become one of the restaurant's signature sandwiches, proving that people not only love to eat, but also enjoy seeing and talking about the monstrous sandwich. “Whenever one is delivered to a table or the bar, it steals the conversation.”

Because the sandwich has everything, Hoppy says it goes with everything, especially any type of beer. “I will admit that I get a bit of a grin when I see a customer drinking a martini with a 20-ounce sandwich,” he says.
