Listen to this articleAn exciting collaboration launches here in the great Garden State Saturday between Rutgers legend and entrepreneur Eric LeGrand and one of New Jersey’s most notorious and beloved delis Taliercio’s.
LeGrand’s two brands – Eric LeGrand Bourbon and LeGrand Coffee House – are teaming up with the Red Bank-based, family-owned Italian deli on “The LeGrand” Sandwich, available at Taliercio’s beginning July 13.
The LeGrand Sandwich features homemade roasted chicken marinated in Eric LeGrand Bourbon then rubbed with LeGrand Coffee House Colombia Roast. The chicken is then pulled with a peach bourbon barbecue sauce – made with Eric LeGrand Bourbon – and served with white cheddar cheese and smoked bacon.
Notably, all proceeds from sales of the sandwich this month will go to the Christopher & Dana Reeve Foundation. The organization supports those living with and impacted by paralysis by finding the cure for spinal cord injuries. LeGrand is a long-time supporter and partner of the foundation: His bourbon brand donates a percentage of sales to the group, as well.
The sandwich is a permanent addition to Taliercio’s famous menu. The deli highlights its creations through unique posts and videos on the deli’s often-viral social media channels. On Instagram, Taliercio’s boasts more than 104,000 Instagram followers.
It also marks yet another high-profile partnership for LeGrand. Last month, he teamed with Nicholas Creamery on a special ice cream flavor, which NJBIZ reported on.
“Once again, it’s been amazing to collaborate with another great business here in New Jersey – with bringing all my brands together with Taliercio’s,” LeGrand told NJBIZ. “Creating a sandwich together between the bourbon and coffee has been amazing and the sandwich is absolutely delicious – people are going to love this one.”
“Taliercio’s is excited to partner with Eric LeGrand and his team because Eric represents bringing a community together around important causes and does so in a way that also drives impact for the community as well,” Taliercio’s told NJBIZ. “He’s doing it with coffee and whiskey – we’re doing it with [raviolis] and sandwiches. The blocks fell into place and we’re making The LeGrand.”
