Anyone who has made the trek up north has probably heard about the insanely popular Vancouver-based sandwich shop Meat & Bread. Lucky for you and me, 141 miles no longer stand in the way of getting our hands on these delicious sandwiches; the first U.S. location just opened on Capitol Hill. The one I always recommend to those who have never been is the porchetta sandwich ($10), a menu staple and one of the three sandwiches offered daily. The pork is slow-roasted to chewy, savory, juicy perfection. Salsa verde—fresh herbs mixed with spices and olive oil—is spread on top, and it’s finished with crackling, which gives each bite a delightful, and tasty, crunch. It’s all served on a little wooden cutting board with a dollop of house mustard on the side for dipping.
