Smoked beef

I finally made it back to Self Raised Bread Shoppe, and this time I went for their smoked beef. I'd heard a lot of good things about their smoked beef, how it's on par with Hector's in Melbourne, which is my absolute favorite. Having tried Self Raised a couple of times, my expectations were high, but my my, was I blown away. This sandwich exceeded my expectations.

Everything was on point! A perfectly balanced sandwich with buttery sourdough toasted to perfection. It was flavorful and very crunchy, but not to the point where it started to hurt my mouth. The thick layer of Wagyu smoked beef was really tasty, and there was just the right amount of pickle that provided the perfect tang and was chunky enough to enjoy chewing. The sauce was basically perfect.

Easily another 10+ from me. Hands down the best smoked beef sandwich in Sydney. It's a sandwich with a simple ingredient list done extraordinarily well.
