Smoked meat ($16 per half pound) is an homage to the neighbourhood, brined for five to seven days, giv- en a peppercorn-based marinade, smoked for several hours and slow- cooked overnight. The fatty meat seems like it would work well in the sandwich with a side that’s available during lunch. Pulled pork is $5 per quarter pound, seasoned with a paprika-based dry rub and sent through the same pro- cess of several hours smoking and overnight slow-cooking. This is good moistened up with a little of the sauce that’s on the table, and also comes in a sandwich form for lunch as a bao. Slaw ($4 for a small, $8 for a reg- ular) is made with thinly shredded purple cabbage, a good cross be- tween a vinegar and cream slaw. 28
