Meat and Co., chef Ben Crevensten's sandwich shop, now is open at Zócalo Food Truck Park in Walker's Point, serving sandwiches such as chopped cheese, Cubans and fried eggplant, as well as sides.

It's a sibling to Crevensten's Hot Wax, which serves burgers and more at Crossroads Collective on the east side.

Meat and Co. started as a pop-up downtown in the pandemic and made the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel's list of new killer sandwiches in Milwaukee last year.

Meat & Co. sandwich Veg & Co. stacks breaded eggplant with house pomodoro sauce, fresh mozzarella, garlic confit, kalamata olives and fresh basil.

New on Meat and Co.'s menu since its downtown pop-up is the chopped cheese, a New York-style sandwich of chopped ground beef and melted sharp American cheese, tomato, onion, shredded lettuce, ketchup and mayo.

Sandwiches it made the Journal Sentinel list for are back, like heirloom tomato with onions and herbs, the breaded eggplant with mozzarella, house pomodoro sauce and fresh basil called the Veg. and Co., and griddled mortadella, aka the Lunch Box.

Sandwiches are $11 to $15; sides are $3 to $6.
