☀️ Good morning El Rey Fans, Fam and Friends!!! Good news & Bad news this morning. First the bad... We are not ready to have delivery yet, I'm aiming for Saturday at this point.
NOW THE GOOD... We have our first WTF Wednedsay Special!! So...

What's the feature (WtF) this wednesday?? It's a little test run for something not on the menu. our take on the iconic HORSE SHOE!!! I read somewhere that it is the official sandwich of Illinois... True? No idea! lol

🌵Horse Shoe buger $12.00 A cheeseburger piled high with crispy french fries and covered in our homemade queso dip, topped with the bun. you can add toppings if you'd like, but the fries and the cheese dip are the stars today🤩.

Remember if you ask What's The Feature today, you get entered into a raffle for a surprise at the end of the week! 🎟

👩🏻‍🏫A little history: The horseshoe sandwich is an iconic, hearty open-faced meal created in 1928 at the Old Leland Hotel in Springfield, Illinois. It features thick toasted bread topped with a choice of meat, a heavy pile of french fries, and a rich, warm cheddar-based cheese sauce.History and ConceptCreated by chef Joe Schweska as a signature regional comfort food.

Named the "horseshoe" because the original cut of bone-in ham resembled a horseshoe, the french fries represented the horseshoe nails, and the hot metal sizzle platter acted as the blacksmith's anvil.Users on Facebook note a general consensus that it is an indulgent, knife-and-fork meal deeply tied to Midwestern diner culture.
