Sandwich Showcase: Triple Decker at Hali Deli
Hali Deli 2389 Agricola St, Halifax Crazy, right? I’ve chosen to showcase a sandwich from Hali Deli that doesn’t involve smoked meat. The Triple Decker is described as being “like a club, only with egg and tuna salad, cucumber, lettuce, tomato and red onion”. The sandwich is $9.99 and comes with coleslaw and your choice…

Sandwich Showcase: Blackened Chicken Panini at Tom’s Little Havana
After eating the Cuban Doner at Tom’s Little Havana, I felt compelled to also showcase the Blackened Chicken Panini. Apparently it is the more popular of the two sandwiches – and it sounds delicious! This sandwich is described thusly: “Blackened chicken breast panini on Lebanese pita bread with pineapple, salsa, chipotle mayo, red onion, mozzarella and…

Sandwich Showcase: Cuban Doner at Tom’s Little Havana
A “Cuban Doner” sounds like a cross between a cuban sandwich and a donair (or more appropriately, a doner kebap). In reality, it does neither sandwich any justice. It bears no resemblance to the Cuban sandwich – the name is merely playing on the “Havana” reference in the bar’s name. The beef is also not…

Sandwich Showcase: The Original Pita Club at Darrell’s
Darrell’s is most famous for its peanut butter burger and crunchy peanut butter shakes – but Darrell’s “World Famous Pitas” (really?) also have a strong following. The Original Pita Club, dating back to 1992, is described thusly: “A Darrell’s time honoured favourite. Real turkey (roasted on site daily), crisp bacon, romaine lettuce, sliced tomato, cheddar…

Sandwich Showcase: Cold Cut Sub from Kaiser’s
While MGyver and I were in Lower Sackville to critique the fish ‘n’ chips at Hellas Restaurant, I got him to stop at Kaiser’s before heading back downtown. This is an old Sackville institution oft praised by Sackvillains. It is one of the great sub shops from the days pre-dating the Subway explosion, and they…

Sandwich Showcase: Pub Club at Your Father’s Moustache
The sandwich showcase is a series dedicated to notable Halifax sandwiches, so I felt I should explore the sandwich that sits proudly in the The Coast’s “Best of Food Hall of Fame”. That’s right, the Clubhouse Sandwich category was retired in 2011. What makes the Pub Club worthy of such accolades? I had to find…

Sandwich Showcase: The Traditional Greek Gyro from Island Greek
Let’s clear this up right now: my definition of “sandwich” is probably broader than yours. If the item in question is using bread to hold together a wonderful package of ingredients – it’s a sandwich. This is not the legal definition. Apparently a Boston court ruled that a sandwich must legally involve at least two…

Sandwich Showcase: Meatball Hero from Salvatore’s
Don’t call it a sub. Seriously, don’t. It’s a hero – Sal’s is pretty adamant about that. And why shouldn’t they be? The meatball hero was called the “best sandwich in all of HRM” by Halifax ReTales’ 101 Best Things to Put in Your Mouth in HRM and I’d have to agree that it’s a damn…

Sandwich Showcase: OMG Egg Croissant from Norbert’s Good Food
Norbert’s Good Food (of Selwood Green Farm) takes up residence at the Seaport Market. Fresh, organic home grown veggies are the main players here, supported by local meats and breads. The OMG Egg Croissant Sandwich is a best seller and the signature breakfast meal. “A single organic or free range egg omelet featuring That Dutchman’s…
