After my dentist appointment I was on my way to do some errands when I found myself getting hungry. Lucky for me I was turning onto Willy St. mecca for delicious eats. I was passing by Underground Butcher and thought to myself maybe it was finally time to give it another chance after my first experience being soured by a not so great sandwich. I went in and noticed some new additions to the menu. Two caught my eye but I decided on the Bahn Mi. Which was...amazing. This place is redeemed for me. The pork belly came sizzling off the grill and into my sandwich. The radish and jalapeƱo added a great cool crunch. The sandwich was a medley of all the flavors you would want in a sandwich, sweet and salty, crunchy, warm pork belly, nicely dressed bread. Yum. I can't wait to come back and try the other sandwich I was interested in.
For 9 dollars the price of a sandwich is a little steep. But I believe it is good quality meat and the meat they use you can see in their display case. This is a great place to go if you are interested in different/not some common cuts of meat. Though their case is small it has a good diversity and everything was nicely labeled. I haven't personally asked the staff questions about certain cuts of meat and how to best cook them but I will make it a point to come back one day and do so since they seem knowledgable and willing to help.
