| - Western Canada's idea of a Montreal Smoked Meat Sandwich? C'mon...why even bother having this on your menu if you're not going to do it right? Ciabatta bread, tough as shoe leather. You shouldn't have to struggle or exert yourself when biting into a Montreal Smoked Meat sandwich, yet this is what happens at Chachi's. Very difficult to chew, and toasted too long, which certainly didn't help matters.
Not sure why Chachi's doesn't use rye bread, which is the correct bread for this sandwich. Perhaps this a way for them to streamline inventory, maximize storage space, longer storage life, cut costs, etc. Like I said...then why even bother?
Here's an idea; Given the fact this is a classic Montreal style sandwich, and you're not willing to use the proper bread, then why not use a French style baguette? Much easier to chew, and it's relevant to the whole French theme.
Honestly, one of THE worst Montreal Smoked Meat sandwiches I've ever eaten. But hey, out here in Alberta most wouldn't know the difference anyways right?
After discarding the bread, the meat was decent enough (hence my 2 star rating). Be sure to grab a plastic fork though, as you'll need it.
Based on some of the other reviews, I'm not alone on this bread thing.
I should add that the staff are very friendly. Shame the sandwich isn't.
