Have lunch plans?

The Dough Hook, 117 N. Main St., Bluffton, has  lots of ideas for you. For example, each Thursday in the summer from 11:30 a.m. to 2 p.m., The Dough Hook grills for lunch.

According to Marlena Ballinger, sandwiches off the grill includes cheeseburgers, hamburgers, brats and MooOink burgers. (Those are one-half beef and one-half pork.)

If grilling doesn't do it for you, you can have your own sandwich in three easy steps: 1 - choose your meat
2 - choose your cheese
3 - choose your size
