Porchetta with salsa verde, Meat & Bread, Vancouver

Meat and Bread opened up right around the time I started having health problems. One doesn't consistently blog about sandwiches without paying a price. I had to stop eating meat for a while, which was pretty shocking to my closest friends. I remember at the time a friend was taking a picture of the new window lettering when one of the owners came out and asked him what he was doing. My friend said he was taking a photo for his friend (me), who loved meat and bread. The owner smiled, but then my friend added that he was taking the photo because I couldn't eat meat and bread anymore. My health has improved since, but the association of Meat and Bread with health complications have been intertwined in my mind since. I have tried to go, but they also close at 5 and are usually lined up out the door. Today, at around 3 p.m., I finished a coffee meeting across the street and knew today was the day. The porchetta with salsa verde is the first choice, though I stood at the till watch...

George's Deli & BBQ, Toronto

A sucker for rotisserie chicken sandwiches, I wandered into the original George's Deli and BBQ on Bathurst, just a block up from Honest Ed's, and had one helluva chicken sandwich and fries. Perfectly roasted chicken overflowing a real good sandwich bun, this is the real deal served with a wing tip and the tastiest fries and home made gravy I've had in recent memory. Thanks, George!
