The World’s Hottest Sando: An Experience
Cast your mind back to your first High School Swimming Carnival, where in a moment of misplaced bravado you decide to jump off the highest possible diving board. As you teeter at the edge and take that fateful leap, there is a second where your feet feel no purchase, the realisation of your hubris chokes in your throat, and there is only fear and anticipation for company. Be prepared for this diabolist invention to hold you in the talons of that feeling for the next 15 minutes as you wolf down the admittedly delicious chicken fillet in a futile attempt to keep the pain to the shortest time you can.
At the five minute mark, ego death is imminent. All pretence of thinking your a hard lad (or lass) will be dashed from your conscience as the very real consideration of calling an ambulance creeps into the back of your mind. Full cream milk suddenly becomes worth more than BitCoin, and the ability to not rub one’s eyes is of utmost importance.
As the spice finally subsides, be prepared to see the world in a fresh light of relief. You will realise your job isn’t so tiresome, your relationships not so frustrating, and that next time your mum calls you’ll pick up and tell her how much you appreciate her. You’ll hug your kids, see the flowers for the trees, and revel in the small things that now seem so easy.
At 10% the price of a Sydney therapist, and the best entertainment your mates will have for many roast sessions to come, this emotional odyssey of a dish is a definite recommendation for anyone who thinks they can’t cry because their childhood was...
Read moreSad to say this place has really gone downhill. They now charge both a card fee AND a service fee, so you’re basically paying extra for the privilege of eating there. It’s not about the amount (which is minimal); it’s the principle. On top of that, they recently overhauled their rewards program, and not in a good way. It used to be a genuinely great system that kept me coming back, but now it’s pretty much useless, there’s going to be a lot of the rewards program customers that will now get no benefit from it at all. In fact, the new setup kind of works against loyal customers. Strange business decision.
The food? Not terrible, but the wings are often overcooked, when they’re even available. The last two times I tried to order, they were unavailable, this has happened before and I don’t know if it’s a website issue or they’re actually sold out. The milkshakes are also a letdown, more like vaguely flavoured milk than an actual milkshake, more flavour is needed especially with the price you pay for the small size.
And charging $3 for a sauce wouldn’t be outrageous if the portion wasn’t so tiny it’s almost laughable. I genuinely looked at the tub and thought I can’t believe I paid $3 for that.
It used to be a great spot that I really enjoyed, but between the new fees, downgraded rewards, and inconsistent food, it’s just not what it used to be.
On a positive note, the staff that work there are all lovely. They’re the best part...
