Sandwich Review in NYC #22 (Bread and Spread)
Bread and Spread in Dumbo. I think they and Alidoro may have to square off for sandwich king of Greater Downtown Brooklyn. I had their short rib on ciabatta about six months ago, absolutely loved it and have been itching to return.
Porchetta--pork belly with garlic and fennel seed, pickled red onions, arugula, red pepper jam, aged provolone
This is their formula: rich and tender protein as the star of the show and then a well-rounded supporting cast--flavorful onions, peppery/crisp arugula, a complimentary spread for sweet/spicy and a cheese on ciabatta bread. They hit all the same notes with the short rib sandwich. It's an easy 4/4.
