Who - Hisham Cader 

This week, we visited the all new Sandwich Factory as it celebrates an old school theme in a 1950s American style with a jukebox playing classic rock and roll (it’s a one of a kind jukebox as it’s digital). This vibrant place is trending with some amazing features. 

Speaking to the man who made this brand, with humble beginnings, I was told, “Our food won’t make you a better employee. It won’t fix your relationships and it won’t make you dress better. What it will do is fill your stomach with great tasting food and leave you wanting more. All without putting a dent in your wallet.” 

As always WTF wanted to add our own spin on things, and we have a limited edition WTF burger starting this May. It has a 1/4lb patty, with chili con carne and a fried bread crumbed chicken, complete with a fried egg. I cooked along with John Benedict, who has been a part of the Factory for a long time. 

Do TRY it out! 

They are known for their: 

Chocolate Malt in Chocolate/Vanilla 

Rs. 380/- 

Rich and creamy the classic Malt milkshake, which I highly recommend. 

And a few more hot sellers when it comes to the drinks are: 

Oreo Shake in Chocolate/Vanilla 

Rs. 430/- 

The combination of Oreo cookies and ice cream does not get better than this. Available in Chocolate and Vanilla. 

Milo Milkshake in Chocolate/Vanilla 

Rs.380/- 

The delicious goodness of Milo in a thick milkshake made with vanilla ice cream. 

Speaking to Cader, I was told, “It was a dream that I started at my own house, and I’m happy to see where it is today.” Working part time at diners, casual dining and fine dining restaurants exposed him to the world of restaurants and hospitality and instilled a taste for this industry. Combining the experience in America with his natural flair for cooking, Cader set about making his vision into a reality. The result is what you see today. 

We also wanted to feature a few dishes YOU MUST TRY when you visit the Factory. 

Philly Cheese Steak 

Regular Rs. 720/- 

Half Sub Rs. 390/- 

An American favourite with a Lankan twist. Thin slices of marinated steak sautéed with green peppers, onions and mushrooms, topped with cheese. 

Western BBQ Burger 

Beef/Chicken - Rs.770/- 

A juicy meat patty stuffed with cheese and jalapenos, topped with onions rings and a spicy BBQ sauce. 

New York Hot Dog 

Beef/Chicken - Rs. 400/- 

Chili con carne (meat sauce), mustard and onions make up this long time "Big Apple" favourite. 

Island Chillie Fries 

Rs.360/- 

Fries topped with chilli con carne, TSF island sauce and diced jalapenos. 

Tuna Melt 

Rs. 650/- 

Creamy tuna served with cheese and onions. 

Keeping it affordable is what they want to do so that everyone can have a feel good meal. The play area for the kids is a new attraction which also gives you the chance to have some time for yourself. The combination of good food and movies can never go wrong, and that’s why every last Thursday they have a movie night just for you to relax and get comfy under the stars. 

Hope you will try the WTF Burger! And don’t forget it’s ONLY for the month of May!
