Although not great for my waistline, I tend to live my life around three major food groups: Meat, Bread and Cheese. (Everything in moderation, even moderation I keep telling myself ). You put all three ingredients together, it’s like magic happens in your mouth. I say, a good sandwich can make your day and you’ll get one at Meat & Bread located in Gastown by Victory Square.

They offer a handful of sandwiches with some sides and they keep it simple. You walk up to the self serve counter while a couple of lovely gents cut up the freshly roasted meat and prepares your sandwich fresh. Along with their Porchetta ($8), Meatball Sandwich ($7) and Grilled Cheese, they rotate a new meat every month. I tried their monthly special “Lamb Shoulder With Fennel & Radish” ($8) with a mushroom salad side.

Love the concept, love the meat and the bread, love the large communal table and love the cool aprons all the staffers wear.
