It's hard to go wrong with katsu sando–crispy, breaded meat or fish between fluffy slices of milk bread. In Japan, where it's typically sold in supermarkets, the sandwich is a popular snack and a fuss-free lunch. You can also find it at Vancouver food trucks, snack bars and restaurants. ■ TRUCK STOP We can't think of a more food truck-appropriate meal. Outside Vancouver City Centre station, Tokyo Katsu-Sand offers a variety of fillings in what it calls "the real Japa- nese style," with sides of takoyaki (octopus balls) and fries. In a nod to chef Patrick Do's Filipino heritage, Uncle's Snack Shop in Richmond offers a less traditional spin on katsu sando, making the patty with ground chicken, garlic and paprika. ■ FANCY THAT Richmond restaurant Kurosan Katsu, which aims to channel Japan's opulent Meiji period, serves up pork, prawn and chicken versions. Want a more down-home vibe? At Vancouver's Potluck Hawker Eatery, chef Dominic Sai's menu represents Southeast Asian street food culture with classic and inven- tive dishes, including the flavourful Salted Egg Yolk Chicken Sando. ■ SCHOOL'S OUT Located in Vancouver's historic Ja- pantown, just blocks from Canada's oldest Japanese language school, Dosanko is the perfect place for students to grab one of its six katsu sando options. • BREAD ALERT Big in Japan, katsu sando makes its way to several local eateries by Saphiya Zerrouk ON T R E N D ISTOCK SEPTEMBER/OCTOBER 2021 BCBUSINESS 87 S P E C I A L I S S U E J A N U A R Y / F E B R U A R Y 2 0 2 1 Distractions P L E A S A N T Boulevard's takeout clam chowder is just the kind of comfort we need.
