Roly Poly offers new, original sandwiches

There was a time when students looking for a tasty sandwich wrapped in a tortilla
had to wait for Cyberwraps day in The Main.
That all changed last summer with the opening of Roly Poly Sandwiches on University
Drive.
Bread lovers beware, you won't find a single loaf in this sandwich shop. All
meals are hand rolled in a white or wheat tortilla. Some are even grilled.
If it's your first trip to the eatery, make sure you let someone
know. The menu alone could send the timid into shock. There are
almost 65 different ingredients
that are mixed and matched (sometimes in odd combinations) to create these sandwiches.
Customers can choose from six different categories — veggie and cheese, turkey
and smoked turkey, sliced steak and roast beef, baked ham and roast pork, chicken
and seafood.
Some highlights of the cold sandwiches portion include the Thanksgiving (turkey
breast, corn bread stuffing, cranberry sauce, onion, lettuce and fresh basil
mayo), Delhi Chicken (curried chicken salad, Swiss cheese, bacon avocado, pineapple,
lettuce, sprouts and mango chutney) and Thai Hot Tuna (tuna salad, cheddar cheese,
spicy Thai sauce, avocado, lettuce, sprouts and mango chutney).
While the cold sandwiches are dandy, the real fun lies in the grilled sandwiches
that each come with dipping sauces, most importantly, the honey mustard sauce
that has more of a kick than most mild-mannered sauces. Bright spots on this
list include the Hot Honey (smoked turkey breast, melted jalapeño jack cheese,
bacon, sun dried tomatoes, spinach and a side of honey mustard), Turkey Applejack
(turkey breast, melted jack cheese, apple butter, bacon, onion, mushrooms, basil
mayo and a side of honey mustard) and the Hickory Chicken (sliced chicken breast,
melted cheddar cheese, onions, mushrooms, bacon, barbecue sauce and a side of
ranch).
If you don't like one of the 53 sandwiches they have on the menu, customers have
the opportunity to mix and match ingredients to create their own masterpiece.
To make a choice even more difficult, Roly Poly also has daily specials such
as soup of the day, special sandwiches that change each week and a sandwich of
the day where the buyer receives a free cookie.
And there's a bonus for TCU students — show your TCU ID at time of purchase and
receive free chips and a drink.
So if you've got a couple bucks to spare (most sandwiches run about $3.79 for
a half and $5.99 for a whole) then a trip to Roly Poly should definitely be on
your to-do list.
