Between 2 Slices Sam Housley & Greg Nye

And so we reach the end of another sandwich odyssey. From po’boys to cubans, we’ve come a long way from that dodgy Subway pilot episode so it would be rude not to end the season with another blockbuster ‘wich. That’s right, its time we talked about Sub Cult. We’ve been eyeing up these award winning subs for a while and, with their first brick and mortar store opening to unprecedented demand, we just had to saunter down to St. Pauls to get our hands on one. For our season finale you can expect nothing but drama, intense mayo debate and a half-baked sandwich trivia loser’s forfeit.

For the penultimate episode of Season 2 we went in search of the mythical ‘Rib Man’. Known to frequent Brick Lane Market for a select few hours on Sunday afternoons, the Rib Man has become an elusive but legendary figure on the London food scene; a street food Sasquatch if you will. Eager to get our hands on his famed rib meat sandwich (with signature hot sauce), we packed our bags, got our binoculars and headed to Shoreditch to see if we could track him down.

We’re reaching the end of Season 2, so its only reasonable we start throwing out the big hitters from London’s sandwich scene. This time, we snuck down to Bodega Rita’s in Coal Drops Yard, London’s latest Instagram ready shopping district (there are far too many fountains here), to take on their popular Friday Sandwich Meal Deal. Inspired by New York’s thriving global deli and sandwich scene, these guys are really pushing the flavour boundaries so we were excited to see what they’d conjured up.

It's the big one, a real heavyweight B2S title contender. For episode 17 we finally got our act together and ventured down to Finsbury Park to visit Max's critically acclaimed sandwich institution. Known for his quirky, ballsy and inventive recipes, Max is seen as a sandwich pioneer, the Steve Jobs of sandwich creation if you will, so we've been itching to see if his menu lives up to the hype.

Episode 16 - Dip & Flip
For our 16th instalment, we took on Dip & Flip’s acclaimed gravy soaked roast meat sandwich in arguably the messiest episode to date. These guys have been taking South West London by storm with their no holds barred approach to the ‘French Dip’ - a roast beef baguette served alongside a gluttonous pot of dipping gravy. We donned our finest bibs, stocked up on kitchen roll and headed down to Brixton to see what all the fuss was about.

Episode 15 sees us head North (to Islington) only to go South… Deep South to a Louisiana inspired gastro-pub. Plaquemine Lock sits quaintly by the Regents Canal and has been serving up authentic Louisiana inspired cajun food for a good few years now. It was recently awarded a Michelin Bib (me neither) and is one of the few places in London where you can sample an authentic seafood Po’boy. We’ve given fish a miss for a while now on B2S so we were excited to take on our first fish-wich and what a place to start (FRIED OYSTERS AND GRAVY!)

This pub was turquoise AF! Check out our Plaquemine Po’boy pics on Instagram: @between2slices.
