Bunk Sandwich

Rich is quite inspirational. In fact, his love for (good) food is highly contagious. Be warned, if you ever find yourself hanging out with him, you may be snacking on frozen yogurt, squeezing in a pit stop at a sandwich shop, visiting a coffee stand, and consuming a 3-course dinner all within a five hours... and all of it, DELICIOUS! Rich's nose for good food is quite extraordinary... quite like a pig hunting for precious truffles. NOT that I'm comparing Rich to a hog... :). 

I rarely venture out to the Portland food scene, usually sticking with Mom's home-cooked comfort food at home. Yet, my excursion this past weekend opened my eyes to why Portland is foodie capitol of America! 

First up, Bunk. On a dreary Sunday evening with clouds overcast and everything looking gray, we were treated to mind-blowing, perfect sandwich creations. Yummy is an understatement. 

Memories abound. Bites of a hot meatball sub smothered with tomato sauce that makes it impossible to not be a messy eater. A layer of salty pork belly intermingled with sweet fruit chutney makes the perfect combination. Warm tomato soup that makes me want to heat up a can of V8 to rekindle the amazing tomato taste.

Highly recommend. Not cheap, but worth it- sandwiches are priced around $8-10 each. Definitely not your typical banh mi!
