Feasting at Cousins

Happy Friday! I don’t know about you, but we don’t eat out very regularly for lunch anymore. We’ve taken to packing our lunches to save our dollars and our waistlines for overconsumption. All priorities on where we like to spend our money, right?! But we still do enjoy meeting up for lunch sporadically. So when we do, we like to choose places that we know we’ll truly enjoy. Subs are one of the more obvious lunchtime spots, and we all know there is a dime a dozen to choose from. We get to be more selective in our choices because we’re definitely not hurting for options.

If you know anything about us at this point, it’s that our Wisconsin pride runs deep. So when Wisconsin native Cousins Subs reached out to us to see if we’d want to come try their new limited-time subs, you better believe we jumped at the chance! We headed over to their West Allis location and got to check out one of their newly renovated stores, which was absolutely gorgeous.

Once we settled in, we started with their Mac and Cheese which is a newer menu addition, as well as their cheese curds. They’re made with Wisconsin cheese, because of course! Both were delicious. The Mac and Cheese was perfectly creamy and the cheese curds had the perfect light layer of deep-fried breading. Plus you get so many for the large size!

After we did some serious work on those sides, the main event was brought out. First, we tried the Hot Ham & Cheddar Deluxe Sub, which is like an upgrade ham and cheese. It had ham, bacon, white cheddar cheese, pickles, onions, tomatoes, and mayo. Fully loaded up and nothing better than a warm sub! We loved the extra touches, like the bacon and the fact that they used Wisconsin white cheddar cheese. A great update on a classic.

The second sub was the Chicken Cordon Bleu. While we loved both, this one definitely stole our hearts as the winner. It was topped with ham, chicken, white cheddar cheese, lettuce, tomato, mayo, and honey mustard. It was the perfect melding of flavors, and it reminded me of my favorite Po Boy I had in New Orleans!

To send us on our way completely stuffed to the gills, we tried their chocolate shake and a vanilla shake. We’d both say they easily rival Culver’s (gasp – we said it!). All in all, we’re telling you to get over to Cousin’s and try out their new menu items. They’re only sticking around until November, so don’t sleep on them either! It was a great experience and we’re definitely all about Cousin’s for our first choice for an amazing sub sandwich!
