The Marisol was an LTO that scored big for Hannah’s Bretzel, earning a spot on the permanent menu of this sandwich shop known for its fresh-baked “bretzel” baguettes. As part of the brand’s guest chef series, Jason Hammel, Executive Chef/Owner of the award-winning Lula Café, developed The Marisol, a chicken sandwich that packs plenty of fresh flavor and texture play into each bite. Part of the concept’s Über Sandwich line, the handheld starts with the signature salty, organic baguette, followed by free-range roasted chicken, which interplays with butter lettuce, cheese, sliced avocado and fresh dill. While the baguette alone delivers a satisfying crunch, the sliced apples and chopped macadamia nuts double down on textural contrast. An herby finish with housemade green goddess dressing is the fi nal element. It’s an ideal representation of Hannah’s Über defnition: tasty, organic, whole grain, clean label, healthy and nutritious. “Since joining the menu, The Marisol has remained one of the most popular sandwiches among customers due to its fresh, organic ingredients for Chicagoans on the go,” says Florian Pfahler, Founder/CEO.
