There have been countless imitators of Bakesale Betty’s renowned fried chicken sandwich with spicy slaw, but now Bar Tartine’s new daytime sandwich counter is doing a different spin on the concept, this one inspired by Japanese tonkatsu. Serious Eats reviews this “beast of a lunch,” which pairs fried thigh meat with cabbage, red onion, garlic mayo, and spicy tonkatsu sauce made with apricot and tamarind, and says it’s “impressively juicy” and pretty sloppy to eat. What’s more: It’s served on a potato brioche bun made with those fab smoked potatoes. [Serious Eats, Earlier slideshow]
