NOTHING BRINGS PEOPLE TOGETHER,

LIKE A GOOD SANDWICH

Grill Grinders when a group of three brothers had the idea to create something original and unique.

The three brothers, who already owned both a Mexican restaurant and an Indian restaurant, wanted to combine the two brands in a way that would appeal to various demographics, as food has no boundaries and can be enjoyed by everyone.

To bring this concept to life, the brothers had to experiment with the food and flavors, and through trial and error, were able to create the perfect sandwich that embodies traits from both Mexico and India. The sandwich proved to be a success. From day one, every family member or friend that tried it, loved it. They even had family, friends, and vendors from the different locations urging them to start mass producing their sandwiches.

From there, they created Triple Decker Sandwiches, which consists of three pieces of bread, with two layers of filling. The idea behind this is that food is more than just sustenance: it initiates conversation, it brings people together, and it highlights a culture. It’s more than just something to eat – food creates community.

Grill Grinders originated from the idea that even though Indian sandwiches and Mexican meat would be combined, majority of the food items that would be sold would be cooked on the grill, hence the name. Knowing that colors are an important step in creating a business, the brothers decided on blue and orange, to represent the brand coming out of Chicago, which is said to be both the drink and food capital of the world.
