Open Chicken Sandwich

This is a quick and casual Saturday lunch. Even serves well as a tasty snack!

 
Open Chicken Sandwich
5 mins prep, 5 mins cooking

Sourdough bread slices
Chicken fillet, sliced
Tomato slices
Avocado, mashed
¼ Spanish onion, sliced
Mayonnaise
Salt and pepper
Olive oil
  1. Heat some olive oil in a pan, then on one corner add chicken fillet to reheat and onion slices on the other corner to cook.
  2. Toast the sourdough slices. Then spread with avocado.
  3.  Then layer the remainder of the ingredients as follows: tomato, splash of olive oil, salt and pepper to taste, cooked onion, reheated chicken, mayonnaise (injected sparingly in small pockets between the ingredients).
  4. Serve or eat immediately. 
Tips
  • Feel free to add more condiments: I added Tabasco sauce to some slices.

Old Faithful - MECCA

One thing I miss about working in the city is the random cafes dotted around the place, waiting to be discovered. A lot don’t necessarily look good, but they dish out serious coffee and/or food. That’s what I love about the competition – makes them work harder. Well, some of them anyway.

Simplicity is king. Do something and do it well. MECCA falls into this category. Their staff retention is crazy too – they must get paid in gold, because the four years I’ve been going there, it’s been the same boys pumping out Sydney’s caffeine fix and smacking down the buttons on the register. These boys know their art and that’s the reason I keep going back. For the holiest of hollies: consistency and quality. Booyah. Great people watching spot too. 

Sit down, relax and watch the world go by. You should go. Do it.

Thin and flat sourdough, exactly how I like it. No lock jaw action here!
Line ups are very common but they move quickly





Ultra creamy froth on my latte, silky goodness.
