Fried chicken sando

from Hugo’s Deli

Nov 20239.5 / 10

Fried chicken, shredded lettuce, pickles & American cheese with Hugo’s sauce on @akipan_sydney’s Shokupan

So, today I had this big dilemma - should I hit up Hugo's Deli, the Melbourne sandwich squad taking over @gelatomessina Marrickville HQ for 2 days, or swing by Kosta’s Takeaway, where Kosta’s throwing down an epic O.G. Sandwich collab with @fishbowl_fuel? Tough choice, but Hugo’s won me over - felt like it might be my only shot at their sandwich. By the way, @kostastakeaway, if you happen to read this, bring back the O.G., pretty please🥺

Now, let's talk chicken sando! The chicken was hot and juicy perfectly complemented by crunchy fresh lettuce and slightly melted cheese. No doubt, it was tasty, but here's the thing - the bread was a tad too dominant. And you know me, I’m a bread guy and all about that carb life, but Akipan's Shokupan is on the thicker side. Perfect for an open-faced sandwich, but this time, it grabbed the spotlight. Still, no confusion here – it was one impressive sandwich, and I was totally into it.

They're still here tomorrow with a range of tasty treats, so head down to Messina HQ! This one is too good to miss.
