On Monday, we announced The Vanguard would be saying goodbye to 12 of its menu items. Even though some popular fare and other longer-tenured items—most notably the delicious likes of the Hungarian, Salazar, and the Pork Belly Sando—have either been 86ed for good or removed from the menu until further notice, head chef Patrick “Paddy” Joyce enacted those difficult cuts in order to make room for eight new options on The Vanguard’s just-updated menu.
Starting at 3 p.m. today, The Vanguard will be offering five new styled sausages and three new sides. Feast your eyes on The Vanguard’s new and improved menu below.
