Reuben

This weekend, the sandwich quest didn’t stop at one—I somehow managed three in a day 😂. To be fair, I shared half-and-half with a friend at Angus (which is pretty rare for me... usually I’m a one-man sandwich guy lol).

Angus was packed. With five of us, we waited around 30 minutes for a table, but honestly, the food speaks for itself—it’s busy for a reason. The sandwiches were even better than I remembered.

Starting with the Reuben—I loved that they used thicker-cut brisket pastrami. The super thin stuff just doesn’t hit the same. This one was soft, juicy, and packed with flavour, with a nice smoky note and just enough spice from the rub to make it interesting. The tang from the sauerkraut and pickled cucumber gave it a bright punch that cut through the richness in all the right ways.

There was also something a little sweet in there—almost tomato-y—which wasn’t listed on the menu, but it added a nice unexpected layer. The creaminess from the slightly melted Swiss and mayo brought it all together, and the focaccia was a standout—soft, springy, and airy, with just enough structure to hold it all in.

Also—worth calling out—the oat maple cold brew was excellent. Super smooth, not overly sweet, and paired so well with everything.

All my friends were really happy with their sandwiches too. And when everyone around you is raving, it somehow just multiplies the satisfaction. Definitely one of those meals.
