The Thousands

You’d be forgiven for not realising there is a fine art to sandwich making. But just one lunch at Via Abercrombie and you’ll be born again.

I know, trekking into the CBD on a weekday for lunch sounds utterly awful. And it is. My willingness to ride in on my pushie – repeatedly – voluntarily – for their veggie sandwich is saying a LOT.**Take the biggest, tastiest sandwich you’ve ever had, multiply it by a thousand, and you’re still nowhere near it.  The veggie sanger comes stuffed thick with red cabbage, eggplant, marinated mushrooms, green beans, grilled zucchini, cooked carrot, and potato salad.  Other patrons swear by the chili BBQ chicken, or tuna with polish pickle – and there’s heaps more to choose from.

Be wary of huge queues between midday and two. While they’re famed for their huge cheap sandwiches, apparently their brekkie’s great too. And hey, it’s our little slice of laneway living.
