Costco Resurrects Popular Food Court Sandwich Following 5-Year Absence
A Fan-Favorite Sandwich Makes a Comeback to Costco, but at a Cost
After a long absence of five years, the legendary sandwich has made its triumphant return to the Costco food courts. Yet, this culinary icon isn't exactly the same as it used to be.
The beloved hot turkey and provolone sandwich is back, albeit with some alterations. As NJ.com reports, the modern iteration features a swap of the basil pesto sauce for basil garlic mayonnaise and a price hike of three dollars, now retailing at $6.99. But fear not, fellow sandwich enthusiasts, the essentials remain the same - oven-roasted turkey, melted provolone cheese, red onions, and tomatoes.
The hot turkey and provolone sandwich's return has sparked widespread excitement among its faithful followers on Reddit. One user gushed, "Oh wow! Santa got my letters!" while another confessed, "I missed these so much." This nostalgic revival has generally been met with praise, with one enthusiast stating, "It's really tasty. Probably the tastiest of all the non-dessert food court items (in my opinion)."
However, not every fan is entirely pleased with the revamped sandwich's taste or price increase. "While it's still good, I feel like it's not as filling as before," expressed another. But for those distraught by alterations to their beloved sandwich, take comfort in the words of one Reddit user, "It has more meat than the old one, but otherwise, it's pretty much the same."
As with any Costco offering, it's uncertain how long the turkey and provolone sandwich will remain on the menu, so swoop in while you can and savor this fan-favorite spot.
