AWESOME THING WE ATE #883: The Maple Bacon Chocolate Bar From “Meat & Bread”
January 14, 2013
There are a lot of bad things in this world that one can easily get addicted to, and then there’s the smoked salt-dusted maple bacon chocolate caramel bar with roasted almond and nougat made by BETA5 for Meat & Bread. We think it’s hands-down the best chocolate bar being made in Canada right now. If it could be chain smoked, we’d buy a pack and light the hell up. | $3

The GOODS from Meat & Bread
Vancouver, BC | Meat & Bread’s new location is now open at 1033 West Pender on the corner of Oceanic Plaza. The store is focused on providing the busy office crowd with man-made hot sandwiches. Like the Cambie Street shop, the new location continues the theme of serving four sandwiches – porchetta, a changing daily special, a 5-day brined corned beef and a weekly vegetarian sandwich, along with daily soup and salad. As a quick, on-the-go desert option, Meat & Bread have collaborated with Beta 5 to create a cashew, caramel, nougat and smoked salt chocolate bar.
Co-owners Frank Harrington and Cord Jarvie will share their time between the two shops. Joe Sartor remains in charge of the food and has been joined by Terry Sommerville, returning from Hawksworth. The aesthetic is an evolution of the original store, once again designed by Craig Stanghetta. Salvaged pressed tin covered with glass, herringbone walnut flooring and a maple and ash bar top and communal table to keep the theme from Gastown, albeit with a slight polish. Glasfurd & Walker extended the brand design to include new packaging for sandwiches, drinks and dessert, stationery, signage and a new website. Read more
DINER: Meat & Bread To Open New Spot In The Heart Of Vancouver’s Financial District
February 1, 2012
by Andrew Morrison | The triumvirate that brought us the original Meat & Bread on Cambie off Hastings are opening a second location in the heart of Vancouver’s financial district. Owners Cord Jarvie and Frankie Harrington, together with chef Joseph Sartor, have just signed for a small space at the foot of Oceanic Plaza (1033 West Hastings). That’s a lob wedge west of Burrard, right on the periphery of the casual chain lunch domain (see Joeys, Cactus Club, Elephant & Castle), and totally dwarfed on all sides by skyscrapers.
As you can see from the shots below, the new digs are cloaked in plywood. That’s because an entrance and an exit are being constructed concurrently with the interior build. When it’s finished, it should have a similar look and feel to the original, only with less seats (10) and an L-shaped counter set-up rather than a straight line. I imagine it’ll be a noticeably more modern, too, considering its concrete, glass and steel shell (as opposed to the aged bones of the Cambie location).
Craig Stanghetta is on the design job again, with Glasfurd & Walker doing the branding (expect plenty of white tile and herringbone wood pattern). Menu-wise, it won’t be an exact carbon copy of the original. The sandwich that they’re most famous for, the Porchetta, will be on the steel wall menu for sure, but beyond that it’s up in the air. The coolest thing? The new exit will open out into the massive, sunken plaza with hundreds of places to sit in the fresh air, making it the largest, unofficial, unstaffed patio in the city. Opening day should come at some point during April.

Smoke Break #767: How To Make Porchetta While Drooling
November 14, 2010
Still reeling happily from my delicious porchetta experiences at Gastown’s Meat & Bread (my review in the paper is online here), I started looking for a video to inspire and direct me to making one of my own. Pretty sure I’ve struck gold with San Francisco’s “Gianni”. Enjoy.
