You Say Sandwich, We Say Yeah!

Brazil Bakery and Pastry remains my go to sandwich spot for sandwiches on the go. A small basket near the back has prewrapped sandwiches ready to go, and there's a real assortment of cold deli cuts, vegetarian options, and the occasional fried meat/fish option.  Thinking the panado was fried fish, as past options would lead me to believe, panado in fact a breaded chicken cutlet, very similar in texture and taste to a chicken fried steak. In a hearty sesame roll with lettuce and tomato (the former I could have done without), it was a great 3+ hour train snack.

So this fella here won some award or mention in Toronto for being the best new sandwich in town. As I was headed that way, I thought I'd poke my head in to see what all the fuss was about. A familiar face stood behind the bar, and the staff and owners were generally very chatty and friendly. We do good food, is what they kept saying, so having just got off a plane and survived an evening nap, I went for the sandwich to go with the lot of bourbon. The chicken thigh was moist and juicy, and the skin was crunchy, but I guess I was expecting a bit more seasoning. The shredded pickled carrots was a great touch, the roll could have been fresher, but I didn't leave a morsel left for inspection either way. I would be back for another, and I would order bacon to go with it, as that would have been just enough salt content to bring this sucker home. I made the bacon suggestion aloud, too, and hopefully, it was remembered.
