The Brisket sandwich

I’m back in North Sydney on the hunt for a delicious sandwich, and this week my pick was On a Roll, a tiny kiosk in Crows Nest selling American-style sandwiches.

Now, let‘s talk about the sandwich: it was seriously good. The brisket was superb—juicy and tender, pulling apart easily with each bite. The flavour was excellent, with the natural taste of the beef shining through and a nice hint of seasoning. A touch more or a sprinkle of coarse salt could have brought out the flavours. The sandwich boasted a great meat-to-bread ratio with plenty of slaw, and the well-buttered, toasted sourdough added a soft crunch. The melted cheddar made it feel substantial and hearty.

The Alabama white sauce added a nice tangy flavour with its vinegar base shining through, though it made the sandwich a bit saucy for my liking. Even so, it didn’t detract much from the overall experience. All in all, it was a hefty, satisfying sandwich.
