Breakfast Sammy ($9): crispy spam, sauce gribiche, chives, American cheese, brioche. Let’s start with the most humble, but also arguably the most important ingredient: the bread. So fluffy and buttery, with just a touch of sweetness, the lovely slices of beautifully toasted brioche are simply amazing. I would have them alone with some butter mind you, that’s how good they are. Then you’ve got the thin (but plenty enough) slices of spam, which are surprisingly tasty but not overly salty, hugging some oozy melted cheese. What really makes this sandwich extra special though, is the stellar housemade sauce gribiche. A classic French sauce, it’s essentially an egg mayonnaise — but in the most traditional emulsify-eggs-with-oil way and not straight outta a bottle. My palate’s not discerning enough to say if this is indeed an authentic gribiche sans mayo, so I’ll tell you this: I don’t like mayo, but I thoroughly enjoyed this. So if it is indeed mayo, please don’t tell me I don’t wanna know 😂
