Caviar Sandwich Returns to Grand Central Oyster Bar Menu

The fabled Caviar Sandwich has made a triumphant return to the menu at the historic Grand Central Oyster Bar, it was announced by executive chef Sandy Ingber.

The acclaimed sandwich features Black Bowfin, a minor sturgeon caviar from Louisiana, and is served on toasted white bread with shredded hard-boiled egg and sour cream. It is priced at $13.95, and is on the Oyster Bar menu for both lunch and dinner.

The sandwich was a turn-of-the-century brainchild of the late, great restaurateur Jerome Brody, who owned the Oyster Bar at the time, and was on the menu for the better part of the new millennium.

“The sandwich is returning by popular demand and as a tribute to Mr. Brody inspired by The New Yorker contributor Oli Coleman’s elegy earlier this year,” said chef Ingber. “We were reluctant to take it off the menu when we did. But since the price of the black bowfin has been recently reduced, we are able to bring it back much to the delight of aficionados.”
