How much square footage does one need for a franchise like this? 12 square foot? Could probably run it out a big enough jacket if you tried. That way you could keep the business mobile and go where the demand is.... which is probably going to be near student accommodation at 9.30am Friday

dante2015 · 12-01-2015 3:13pm

not too much i would say

a few tables and chairs and a counter (not very big )

tony 2 tone · 12-01-2015 3:14pm

Most importantly is it Tayto or King crisps? Cos if its Walkers they can **** right off.

SEPT 23 1989 · 12-01-2015 3:14pm

A packet of King with buttered batch heels

D-FENS · 12-01-2015 3:15pm

Never a fan of just crisps in a sandwich.
Love crisps with a sandwich or crisps in a sandwich.
This temple of a body’s favourite is Chipsticks and Easy singles in Batch bread.

dante2015 · 12-01-2015 3:15pm

they are going with Tayto as it more flavours but walkers are on the menu as well for those that like half a packet of crisps

Looks like they went with the research and focus groups so then. Another sterling job by the Marketing and A&R guys

Pig Ignorant Paddy · 12-01-2015 3:18pm

A ham, cheese, coleslaw, and King cheese and onion sandwich is a damn fine sandwich indeed.

The Backwards Man · 12-01-2015 3:18pm

Just another fad, it'll be closed within three months.

MonkeyTennis · 12-01-2015 3:22pm

Its a wheelie good idea

Am I doing this right?

D-FENS · 12-01-2015 3:24pm

Fingers crossed everything will be Hunky Dory for them

SweetChaos · 12-01-2015 3:26pm

I'd love a crisp sandwich now Brennans bread ,real butter and cheese and onion King

It's the truth though. Junk food will be the biggest social pariah of the next decade, they'd have more chance with a shop selling golliwogs or whale blubber

Another group of Hipsters trying to stand out from the crowd.

I can make a grand Tayto sandwich myself rather then spending 4.50 to have a living mustache butter bread for me.

Ol' Donie · 12-01-2015 3:33pm

It ain't a bad idea. As long as they don't go cheap on the type of bread and butter.

But if the crisps are already in the sandwich, what do you have instead of the old bag of crisps WITH the sandwich?

More crisps, I suppose?

H3llR4iser · 12-01-2015 3:35pm

Hopefully this monstruosity will be closed within months - as soon as people realize they can buy a cheese sandwich and a bag of crisps and ruin "mod" their perfectly fine sandwich in the "crisp sandwich" abomination

Speaking of which, why is it so difficult to find normal, salted, potato tasting crisps in Ireland? Only Tesco has some "sea salt" variation (either own brand or Tyrrell's, if I recall correctly), and there's Walkers - but they only come in the "6 portions family size" bags. All the rest are smelly, foul tasting onion, sour cream and cheese stuff...

Seriously, Brennan's bread must be the worst bread ever. Stays soft for a week, that is not right.

How people can eat any processed white bread is beyond me.

They must have no idea what its doing to their bodies.

dante2015 · 12-01-2015 3:47pm

It turns out they're not doing this by halves at all - enthusiasts get to choose their bread, select from 30 flavours of crisps, add cheese or ham if you like, - they're all served with soup and chips. <

Agreed, standard of bread in Ireland is appalling. Never buy pre- packaged Brennan's, Pat the Baker etc.
Always try to buy freshly made Wholemeal/Brown Bread. Not always easy to get though.

Oh so essentially its just another overpriced O'Briens type cafe.

Cant wait :rolleyes:

EGriff · 12-01-2015 3:48pm

I prefer a chip sandwich.

mad muffin · 12-01-2015 4:13pm

Stupid bloody hipsters. What next? A restaurant that serves only breakfast cereal?

Presumably a tasteful crisp menu along political lines.

Looks like its only for a few weeks!

Apple slices with Tayto crisps make one hell of a sandwich.

No need to be so depressing man.

You come across as someone with a temper that boils easily, is half-baked and extremely kneady.

whiskeyman · 12-01-2015 4:57pm

Crisp toasties.

That's where it's at!

The Strawman Argument · 12-01-2015 5:01pm

I've never had a crisp sandwich, didn't understand the point of diminishing the taste of the crisps with two slabs of bread. Am I weirdo or something?

Aragh could ya not at least wish them a bit of luck before writing them off altogether.

What harm are they at.

Three starches right there, your bread, potatoes, crisps and ooh for good measure curly fries made from potato.

Samsgirl · 12-01-2015 5:08pm

Can't beat a Tayto cheese & onion Blaa. Will Blaas be on the menu I wonder?

Actually the urban legend in my school was that Tayto were feeding the Drumcree protesters (the loyalist ones).

AFAIK UK Tayto are a completely separate company, they definitely taste worse.
