Hey Sandwich Enthusiasts!
We’re so excited to announce our new partnership with spokeswoman Jessica Biel.
For the month of April she’ll be teaming up with Fat Shallot to help us roll out our new line of Jessica Biel themed sandwiches…..Starting with our new and improved Jessica Biel-T (truffle aioli, tomato, and bacon) served on challah so light and delicious you certainly won’t need a “Texas Chainsaw” to cut it in half!
2026 marks twelve years with Justin Timberlake…we’re excited to embark on a partnership that will be as long-lasting.
