Chachi's- Sandwiches, Salads, Sides
Sundance 6103 15 Sunpark Plaza SE
Delivery Fee: $5.49 Price: $4-$11
One of my favourite places to order from is Chachi's. Chachi's is a sandwich joint that makes it's food with local ingredients and producers, like Benny's Bakery and Valbella Gourmet Foods out of Canmore. They currently have 10 locations throughout the city, as well as a store in Edmonton, and a few in B.C. The only location currently on Skip (to my knowledge) is the Sundance location, which accounts for it's significant delivery charge to both my work and home.
Banh Mi-beef brisket in an asian marinade, garlic aioli, pickled carrots, cilantro and slices of jalapeno.
$11.00
I usually order the Banh Mi sandwich, and haven't really had the motivation to change it up from this succulent little beast. The buns they use are always a little crispy, but soft on the inside, and they generally have a powdery coating on them (possibly flour) but it hasn't ever lessened my enjoyment of this sandwich. The brisket has an incredible flavour, kind of umami but with a anise undertone to it, and it's very tender. The garlic aioli really adds to that flavour, and the pickled carrots cut through all the spice with a little vineagery bite. The jalapeno and cilantro come in with just enough flavour to remind you "Hey we're here!" but it's never overwhelming. Every time I eat this sandwich, it's always SO GOOD.
Side bar: Yes, I know cilantro poisons the entire meal for some people, but Chachi's is really good about special orders, so you can always order it without. I love cilantro though :)
They also have a really good selection of specialty sodas from Fentimans and Americana soda. I highly recommend the Fentimans Cherry Tree Cola, because I LOVE cherry cola anything. It tastes like those little silver Coke balls you get from old candy stores!
Ordering from the SE is a challenge, and unfortunately Chachi's always takes at least 45 minute to get to you. They rarely confirm your order before a half hour has passed, and that's my #1 gripe with this place. But the food is incredible, and one of these days I'll branch out from my favourite and try some more!
Overall, Chachi's is a great place, and if you ever get the chance to visit them in person at one of their many locations, I'd absolutely do it. Their food is delicious, fresh and mostly locally sourced, and their salads and kettle cooked chips make for great sides if you feel like it. But their sandwiches are really center stage, and for good reason. I'd order from them more, but due to distance and the continual time performance, not to mention that fat delivery fee, I've put Chachi's firmly into the Treat Yo' Self category of restaurants, at a 7/10.
Happy Eating!
