New North Park Restaurant Serves Up Locally Produced Foods, Brews

Golfers and visitors to the North Park Golf course have some new dining options this season.

Strictly Business Catering opened up a Club Sandwich Shop inside the golf course's clubhouse the week after Easter.

Owners Clinton and Lisa Bleil began catering weddings and other private parties in the early 2000's before opening their first Club Sandwich Shop in Sharpsburg in 2008.

Clinton Bleil said that, whenever possible, they use locally produced food.

"We are currently using eggs from Eichner’s Farm Market in Wexford," he said. "Their chickens are fed a very strict vegetarian diet and are able to roam free in the open spaced barn."

Beef, ham sausage and bacon come from Thoma's Meats in Saxonburg, which gets all of it meats from Pennsylvania farms.

And there's another item on the menu you might not expect at a golf clubhouse restaurant.

"We sell goat burgers and we get the ground goat from Salem's Meat Market in the strip," Bleil said. "They use local farmers for their meats as well."

In addition to the sandwiches, there are also the suds.

"We are currently serving all Pennsylvania Beers on tap," he said. "Our craft beers include Troegs DreamWeaver Wheat, Victory HopDevil IPA, and East Ends Fat Gary Brown Ale."

They even buy their coffee from Prestogeorge in the Strip District.

"You don't have to be golfing to enjoy our food," said Lisa Bleil. "Anyone can stop by anytime."

Club Sandwich is open from dawn until dusk seven days a week. In addition to serving breakfast and lunch, it also offers weekly dinner specials.
