In honor and recognition of Pride Month, we're rolling out the FNB Pride Confetti Oatmeal Blondie because, yes, we're deep in our oatmeal era, and apparently our dessert game refuses to miss.

This one checks every box: chewy, sweet without being cloying, colorful, and packed with little surprises in every bite.

It's joyful, it's celebratory, and it'll taste great after one of our signature grilled cheeses and cold beverages from Tioga Sequoia Taproom.

You can grab yours at the June 21st pop-up from 12pm-4pm, while supplies last.

$5 each or 2 for $9

Community, Culture, Pride, Heritage, Flavor

June has a way of reminding us what food is really about.
The people, culture, identity, and the communities that shape us.

On June 21st, we're bringing four stories to the grill:

🔥 The Samurai
Not one of our signature grilled cheeses, but one of our signature creations.
A fire-kissed Japanese ginger pork built on the incredible Bella Bru Sesame Semolina Roll, our canvas for flavor and craft.

🌈 The Pride & Unity Melt
A celebration of love, belonging, and every identity that makes our community whole.
Inspired by a member of our very own Bite Crew!

✨️ The Festa
Born from Portuguese Heritage Month and shaped by the voices of our supporters. Slow-braised sopas-style beef, mint, and cabbage - a sandwich rooted in tradition, shared with gratitude.

🍋 LemonDropBroc
Bright, bold, and unforgettable.
If you know... you know.
This one was "wow" at first Bite, and it still is.

And to everyone who joined us for our Edna Lewis-inspired Southern menu - Thank you.

Your support fuels every idea, every recipe, every story we bring to the table.

Different cultures.
Different identities.
One community.
One table.

Sunday, June 21st. Let's eat together.

We dropped the menu earlier, so you can mark it in your calendar and invite your crew 📅 😉 😏

Thank you to everyone who showed up today to try our Edna Lewis-inspired Southern grilled cheeses. The flavor combos were on point!

We were thrilled to see new faces and meet some genuine people 🙌🏽😎

We've got something special coming for June 21st... Stay tuned 👀 👀 ✨️

That's all we're saying for now.

Just know, it's worth showing up 👌🏽🤤🔥

"So good I wanted to cuss." 😆

That's when you know a dessert didn't just land- it hit the soul.

Sweet, creamy, peachy, textural, comforting, nostalgic, elevated...that perfect balance that sneaks up on you and makes you close your eyes.

Caramel Drizzle bringing the dark, smoky depth.
Lechera adding that creamy, nostalgic sweetness- the FNB twist.

Together?
That combo is illegal in 48 states and spiritually dangerous.
That's the cuss-worthy zone.

We didn't just create a recipe.
We finished it.
We brought it home.
We put our stamp on it.

$5 each or 2 for $8

Merced...we're bringing a touch of the South to the Central Valley on June 7th.

This Sunday's menu is inspired by the legacy of Edna Lewis. The flavors, the soul, the honesty, the simplicity done right.
We took her foundation and added that unmistakable FNB twist.

On the menu:

✨️ The Pickled Porker
Pickle-brined, jus-dipped pork loin with that bright snap of FNB pickled onions.

✨️ Yam & Mac Attack
Candied yams + creamy mac & cheese inside a grilled cheese...that should honestly be illegal. I mean who does that?? We do!

✨️ The PYM Powerbomb
A flavor combo for the brave ones- bold, Southern and so FNB!

And because we're honoring the month of June and what Juneteenth stands for, each grilled cheese sandwich will come with a fresh Cucumber Salad with white vinegar dressing - crisp, cold, and perfect for the Central Valley heat 🥵

Plus...
🍑 A Southern inspired dessert you absolutely do not want to miss. Trust us on this one.

Join us June 7th at Tioga Sequoia Taproom from 12pm-4pm. 1707 N Street in Merced.

Good food, good people, and a whole lot of Southern love - the FNB way.

Chile - Barros Jarpa - The Statesman

The Barros Jarpa didn't rise from a kitchen; it's walked out of congress.

When President Ernesto Barros Jarpa asked for a simpler, steadier cousin to the beef-and-cheese Barros Luco, Chile answered with ham, mantecoso, and marraqueta.

No garnish. No theatrics.
Just discipline, warmth, and a melt that speaks plainly.

It's the sandwich that clocks in early, keeps its head down, and delivers.

A statesman in bread form, toasted in cafés, debated in halls, and eaten across the Andes every single day.

From crisp and disciplined, we move to something warm, sweet, and glowing on the griddle.

You'll want both hands for the next one...

May 17th recap... SHEEESH!

Y'all showed up hungry, and we showed up ready.

The Sheeesh-Steak stole the day! Sweet from that Handmade Haven cherry jam, tangy from the horseradish shmear, savory + fatty from the au jus dipped prime rib, all on that buttery crisp Bella Bru Baking Company Sourdough. Certified problem. 😋

The Verde Bird had the crowd green-smiling --- cilantro, parsley, pasilla, jalapeño, roasted corn, crema.... a whole garden in a sandwich.

Flavor Assassin held its own, but LemonDropBroc still runs the vegetarian throne.

The new FNB Signature Ranch? Yeah, that one's sticking around.

And that Sea Salt Caramel Chocolate Oatmeal Blondie...gooey, chewy, decadent. The closer we all deserved.

Thank you for showing up!

FNB is just getting started 😎

Join us on Sunday, June 7th, as we take a trip down south 😀
Menu dropping soon 😋

We're back on the Global Cousins Arc, and the meltline just touched down in South America again. This time in the cafés and corner bars of Argentina.

Here, the tostado de jamón y queso is more than a sandwich. It's a midday pause, a quiet comfort woven into daily life.

From Buenos Aires to Rosario, it's the pressed ham and cheese that defines the city's rhythm: thin, crisp, golden, and unmistakably porteño.

Built on pan de miga, layered within jamón cocido and melt-soft queso de máquina or Tybo, it's toasted until the edges whisper and the center pulls.

No frills. No noise. Just balance, warmth, and café-coded ease.

Every culture has a melt.
Argentina's is elegance in motion 🇦🇷

And just beyond this slice, the meltline climbs higher.

Same comfort, new altitude.

Travel with us as on our journey one Bite at a time.
