| - For a sandwich shop that is tucked away in an inconspicuous space in front of Scotiabank Theatre, it may be easy to miss. However, after one visit, you'll say it has its own swagger. The first thing you'll be doing is eyeing the stylelized graphics in its tiny 200 sq ft space. Food and art collide here, and I'm not talking about the kind of art with cute, humanoid foods donning faces. I'm talking about street art, as demonstrated by the graffiti of a large sammie scrawled on the back wall. Also, you'll enjoy a lively chat with the owner who passionately discusses about his cooking and who will, as a result, make you salivate even more while you wait for your order. Coupled with the cooking shows/videos playing in the background, you'll be on the edge of your seat from hunger. My gosh, the hunger pangs hurt even more when the owner drips the meat jus onto your porchetta sandwich in front of you! However, just keep in mind that with patience you'll be generously rewarded with a hefty sandwich exploding with meaty flavour and a great balance of textures. The porchetta sammie I ordered for Mealpal was a show stopper for me. It was juicy, soft, crispy, super-sized, and in all fairness a gastric journey for a discounted price of 5 dollars. It was a million tiers above Subways and Mr.Sub. Just be mindful of the price, as its regular costs outside of Mealpal may bring it down a notch for you. Yeah, these sammies got style.
