OK, I’m going to start by saying that I have never been a fan of pimento cheese. However, when I caught a glimpse of the new pimento cheese sandwich at Honey Bee Bakery on Jackson Avenue (near Belk’s) I knew there was something different about it. Chef Sean Adams later divulged that he blends it for less time to give it a chunkier consistency and then adds roasted jalepenos to the mix! The taste is very different than any other pimento cheese I’ve tried.
Needless to say, the pimento cheese sandwich isn’t the only new menu item that’s shown up lately at Honey Bee. There are new lunch combos and trios; a roasted veggie sandwich; daily specials such as pork tacos and pizza; and two daily soups that constantly rotate (I recommend the coconut curry lentil). Oh, and let’s not forget about the homemade breads and sweets.
The new menu isn’t live at the website yet, so you’ll need to stop in to check it out. Sign up for the daily specials email while on the site or in the restaurant to receive email updates about what’s on the menu for the day.
Upon request, they’ll put some Big Bad Bacon on the pimiento cheese, and it is FABULOUS!

SIGH! – I wish I lived closer to HBB! Of all the MANY new and old bakeries here on the east side, there is NOTHING on the east side that compares with their sandwiches and SOUPS. And I Mean That – tick off the east side bakeries and ask yourself where you would rather eat for lunch? SIGH AGAIN! (I’m torturing myself.) I wish Sean and Shannon and Marie could clone themselves and open up HBB-East. I’ll go back to wishing for world peace now.
