All the sandwiches at Kraftsmen Cafe are simple yet bursting with flavor. The lunch menu features a few classics, like the croque-madame, with delicate slices of ham, melted Swiss cheese, a creamy béchamel and, of course, a perfectly fried egg on top, and then there’s the Krafstmen BALT, a traditional BLT with the addition of avocado and avocado dressing. But the Jive Turkey has some of the best ingredients you’ll find between two slices of bread. Kraftsmen uses fresh-baked, crusty ciabatta for this hot-pressed sandwich, inside of which you’ll discover sweet in-house smoked pecan turkey, a slice of thick Provolone, soft avocado slices, chewy caramelized onions and a spread of spicy chipotle mayonnaise. It’s sweet, salty, savory and spicy — what more could you ask from a sandwich? Especially when the bread is baked in-house.
