If Chu & Co’s sourdough loaves and my significant other were to fall into the sea, I’d save the bread. Crispy, tangy, the god of all sourdoughs, it comes in many different forms.
The Mushroom Melt ($13) was exactly what the name promised — a strong earthy flavour, with a load of melty cheese. Meanwhile, the Pulled Pork Sandwich ($15) had a generous serving of tender, flavourful meat.
