Your humble sandwich is boring no more. Snack on some of these delicious flavour combos
How many times have we stepped inside a restaurant, got confused by all the choices and then thought to ourselves, ‘I’ll just have a sandwich, I guess’. But now, you don’t have to ‘settle’ for a sandwich anymore. Chefs in the city have started rustling up unique flavour combos to give your sandwich that added zing. Says Chef Paul Kinny, Culinary Director Bellona Hospitality, “Great sandwiches don’t happen by accident. The key to a good sandwich is soft and textured bread, flavourful spread, hearty filling and a great accompaniment to go with it.
