Hubbub Sandwich Bliss Review

For some, the sandwich is just something they pack for an easy lunch. This may include something like ham, cheese, lettuce, tomato and mayo with dry bread.  It is time to reinvent the sandwich and think beyond Subway and Quiznos.  A sandwich can be an epic creation and anything done right can be gourmet.  Often I hear people start with sentences such as "I won't eat that..."  But, once something is done to perfection those taste buds relearn that proper food combinations can elevate any food!

Where did I eat this week?
I had the ultimate pleasure of eating a sandwich at Hubbub Sandwich Bliss located in Vancouver BC.  It is a must for any foodie!  At first sight, the restaurant has simple and clean decor. It is a very comfortable environment for sitting or taking out.  The open concept kitchen has impressive attention to cleanliness and detail. And you won't end up smelling like a sandwich when you leave....big bonus!

What did I eat?
Every sandwich begins with a base of pickled jalenpenos, creamy garlic sauce, romaine lettuce, cilantro and crunchy caramelized onions atop a toasty baguette.  Then you simply choose a protein. What a genius idea to set up a perfect base for each sandwich. My boyfriend and I both opted for the pulled pork and it was definitely sandwich bliss.  My first bite blew my hair up like the static ball at Science World.  Combining jalenpenos and cilantro is a great marriage of flavours.  This sandwich was refreshing and satisfying.  The pork is marinated for 24 hours until spicy and tender.  It was the perfect combo of juicy and spicy with the right baguette to meat ratio.  The baguette, itself, was a home run.  It was messy enough to be juicy, but not messing enough that I am wearing the sandwich.

What else?
Gluten Free:
Hubbub creates a warm environment for all types of food lovers. There is an option for Gluten free diets as well. Get any of the proteins on a creative fresh salad. We tried the Quinoa Salad and Clean Slaw.  The Clean Slaw offers a blissful combination of cabbage, coconut, mint and cilantro in a light vinaigrette.  And, of course, there is a liquor licence so it could be a great way to start a friday night before heading to a party.

Overall Review: 5/5
This is fresh and intuitive while keeping it simple. The next best part of this sandwich bliss is that you are supported BC local boys who know good food and service.  These true leaders work with their employees on the lines! Thank you Ben and Stephan for giving the gift of great food! My mouth is salvating at the thought of trying the Veggie (Red peppers, eggplant and squash baked with a chilli-lime mariande.) Keep up the hard work.  Any plans to open up in Whistler?
