Jonny’s Spicy BBQ Schnitty

Your boy is back for another sandwich this long weekend! This time, I went the extra mile—literally—and caught a train out to Revesby to finally check out San San. I’ve seen them popping up in my feed for a while now, but honestly never thought I’d make the trek since it’s so far from home. Anyway, today was the day.

When I got there, the place was super packed! I ordered the Jonny’s Spicy BBQ Schnitty and added American cheese—though honestly, I feel like the cheese should already be included; it just makes sense with a sandwich like this. Props to them for moving the queue along quickly—my sando was ready in no time.

First bite in, and it was great—a bit of aroma from the smokey BBQ sauce that pulled me right in. The bread itself was awesome—light and fluffy focaccia that held everything together nicely. They’d even lightly torched the American cheese, so it was all melted and had this nice sharp bite.

The sandwich had some good bold flavours. The BBQ sauce was a nice touch—definitely different from what you’d usually find, though I did wish it had a bit more depth to it. The hot chilli oil added a fun little kick that built up slowly. The chicken was crunchy but felt a bit bland overall, mostly relying on the sauce to carry it. And the crunchy crisps was a fun idea, but they weren’t spread out much—I nearly forgot they were in there until the second half.

Overall, it was a good sandwich with heaps of potential. I’d definitely grab one again if I lived nearby, but for me to travel this far, it’d have to be an 11/10 to really make the trip worth it. Still—can’t deny how satisfying it is to tick another sandwich spot off the list!
