sandwiches

Last week was the week of sandwiches. It all started when Dave and I tried to buy some pepperoni at my favourite smoke shop j n & z Meats. When we got there a sign on the door informed us that they would be closed until the middle of February. Well, my meat loving man almost had a cardiac arrest at such outrageous news, so to calm and appease him I took him to the italian deli/sandwich shop a couple stores down the way.

The sandwiches are perfect. First you choose from foccacia, sub buns, or italian crusty bread. They then go on to let you choose from pestos, mustards, mayos, oils, vinagers, meats, cheeses, pickled olives, eggplant, roasted peppers, veggies galore, really any topping you can think of. Then they grill it. OH MAN. A perfecct crush. oozing cheese, tons of toppings. A perfect sandwich.

If you are ever in Vancouver and need a perfect sandwich, please go to:

La Grotta Del Formaggio on Commercial Drive.

So that sandwich kinda started the whole thing, suddenly we were in a sandwich fury. Needing our next hit. A couple days later (I mean come on, we have a little willpower) we decided to check out Meat and Bread. A place we have been hearing about for a while in gas town.

check it out.

This place was everything I've ever wanted. Anyone who comes to visit me in Vancouver is going to come with me. OMG.

To start with the ambiance was perfect. In three words: Minimalitic, Rustic, Taxidermy.

There were adorable men slicing the meat and assembling the 'wiches. There was delicious beer, perfect mushroom soup, homemade mustard to dip the sandwich in. And the sandwiches were perfect. The name says it all Meat and Bread. Perfect bread, expertly cooked meat, thoughtful toppings. Wow.

Alright. So take a drink of water, take some deep breaths, do what you need to do to, the story continues.

We decided, last Saturday to make our own epic sandwich. Perfect bread, perfect meat, perfect toppings. The hunt was on, and here's what we made:
