Shakopee, MN, October 6, 2009: Lettieri’s? has ‘selected’ five top selling sandwiches from the QSR (Quick Serve Restaurant) industry for their new Market Selects™ menu line, according to John Barber, Chief Customer Officer and Executive Vice President of Hot Stuff Foods/Lettieri’s. Mr. Barber says Lettieri’s has also made each sandwich bigger, better and bolder than traditional fast food fare.

Our object is to make our retailer customers competitive with the QSR industry,” says Barber, “by providing them with not only high quality food items, but available to the customer, as fast or even faster, than fast food.”

Currently the five Market Selects™ sandwiches include,

Spicy Chicken
An all white chicken breast fillet lightly breaded and glazed in authentic Buffalo-style sauce gives this regional creation turned national favorite a hot & spicy flavor, especially when topped with White American cheese and set between a split-top sesame seed bun. A generous 6.8 portion.

BBQ Rib
This popular 6.1 oz. specialty sandwich starts out with a rib-shaped pork patty flavored with a tangy BBQ taste. It’s then cooked over an open flame and set on a flavorful pub-style bun.

Country Fried Steak
This hearty and flavorful 6.3 oz mouth-pleasing creation begins with a steak cutlet enrobed in a home style, peppery buttermilk seasoned breading. It’s then placed on a split-top sesame seed bun.

Big Cheeseburger
Still America’s favorite sandwich. This 9.8 oz. gigantic ‘flame-broiled ‘ burger patty is topped with two slices of American cheese and place between a tender sesame seed bun.

Double Cheeseburger
A slightly smaller 7.2 oz burger, but still plenty of bite to satisfy a hearty appetite. Two char-grilled patties and a bountiful slice of American cheese sit perfectly on a split-top sesame seed bun.

Each Market Selects sandwich is packed 12 units per case. All meat items are fully cooked and flash frozen to insure food safety, maximum shelf life and save valuable in-store labor cost. Specialty formulated breads maintain that “just baked” flavor and freshness right out of the microwave.
