Our Daily Brett

I had one of the best sandwiches of my life here the other day– a chicken in harissa sauce on a Manuel Latruwe ciabatta; it was absolutely outstanding, prettily plated (there is dining in house now, at least until 4pm when these amazing sandwiches are on offer) AND I got a bottle of cold brew made with beans from Anchored Coffee in Nova Scotia– ODB is their first client in Calgary (that I know of, at least). The sandwich came with a few slices of house-​made bread and butter pickles and a small pile of good potato chips. And excellent, excellent, most excellent lunch for around $ 16.

Our Daily Brett! This is only my second review on Unilocal and I have used it for many years in many countries but I feel I owe it to Unilocal and Our Daily Brett to recommend this store to everyone.
Firstly, their sandwiches! It is almost a misnomer to call these delicious meal concepts pressed between fresh bread a ‘sandwich’; at least in the North American sense of the word. They only offer a few sandwich options and I believe they change daily but you can rest assured they will be worth the trip.
The sandwich I just finished was the Korean Short Rib. It was prepared with the tenderest braised Korean Style Beef Short Rib pared with a slightly sour Kim Chi between fresh chiabata bread. The bread is super soft in the middle and crusty on the outside making it a perfect vehicle to deliver the delicious meat and Kim Chi combination.
This was accompanied by the best pickled beats I have ever had and a small mound of potato chips. There is enough food for two small meals for the average person but I challenge you to stop eating it. You will keep going back for one more satisfying bite until it is all gone.
I have also had the Porchetta and Breakfast Sandwich, which were also amazing, but it was the Korean Beef Short Rib Sandwich that drove me to write this review. I can also recommend their market items like their delicious coffee (which will make you forget Starbucks is next door), pastry, and locally sourced organic ice cream.
Please keep in mind I have only been to this store three times so I have limited experience with their inventory but I am confident that everything they have is worth trying.

just ate the best jerk chicken sandwich of my life! such a cute little place — you can eat in at the big communal table, or take it to go! the gluten free bread that the sandwich was on was awesome. there’s a bunch of neat stuff for sale (cook books, bitters, drink muddlers, the new issue of Lucky Peach, pok pok drinking vinegar, etc) and im going to come here all the time!

I don’t have much time to cook during the week so I’ve been stopping by on my way home from work to pick up the daily feature. The meals are on point! This is a great place.

This place has so much potential! I just couldn’t stay away and had to check out this newly opened kitchen shop/​market/​food shop. I was hoping for a sammich but they are still working on the menu so soon there will be take away sandwiches. In the meantime they have some amazing fresh salads, house made soups, and yummy accoutrements like sunflower seed dip and chimichurri. On the south side wall there is a nice selection of artisanal cocktail elements as well as some neat looking drinking vinegars.
If you drive by here on the way home from work there will be delicious and fresh entrées for you to take home for dinner.
Once this place gets up and running it may be a bit difficult to find parking as there is no side street and the private lot is small.
I’m looking forward to visiting in the next couple of months and upping my 3 stars to 5.
