Knuckles Sandwich Bar opens in Alexandria

Fancy a Knuckle sandwich? When the contents and its creators are from the top shelf, you'd have to say fire away.

Knuckles Sandwich Bar, which has just opened at 88 McEvoy Street, Alexandria, is the creation of chefs Diana Thomson [ex The Bathers' Pavilion] and Damien Naughton [ex Bathers' and Bistro Moncur], along with seasoned restaurateur and cafe operator Angus Crane.

The venue is sandwich-fill heaven, its kitchen duo glazing their own ham, lightly poaching chicken and giving vegetarians something to cheer about with a combination of roast carrot, fetta and date chutney.

Man does not live on bread alone, so they're knocking out house made sausage rolls.

"Our pastry and sweets are really old-school, vanilla slice and chocolate eclairs," Thomson says.

They are also on the born-again soft-serve trend. Knuckles' version made from jersey milk from Warrnambool, with a variety of toppings including Belgium chocolate and caramel popcorn.

The fitout and its candy-striped awning are a cute addition for this busy arterial. So don't drag your knuckles Alexandria-ites, check it out.
