BELFAST GOT ITS first crisp sandwich café today (actually, the WORLD got its first crisp sandwich café today) – and it was all sold out in just a few hours.

The pop-up café, run by the folk behind That Wee Café, came about in an unusual fashion – it was inspired by an article on a satirical website, Ulster Fry.

Andrew McMenamin, owner of the café, spotted the article, thought it made for some real-life inspiration, and asked Ulster Fry editors Billy McWilliams and Seamus O’Shea if they wanted to team up.

The result was Simply Crispy.

McMenamin told DailyEdge.ie before the opening:

When I read the article I immediately thought we could make that joke into a reality, and got in touch. The lads at The Ulster Fry thought it would be fun, so from Monday we’re rebranding the café under the name Simply Crispy.

The café offers a build-your-own crisp sandwich, with additional side orders like soup and chips. (You can’t have too many potatoes in one meal, right?)

Simply Crispy officially opened this morning:

And by around 2pm it was completely sold out:

Now they just have to do it all again tomorrow.
