BRIAN’S 100 BEST ’19: JERK-CHETTA at BREAD & SPREAD

I’m counting down the 100 best dishes I tasted in 2019…

Now here’s a mash-up that Dominique Ansel wishes he would have created. John Coppola, the sandwich wiz from undersung Bread & Spread in Dumbo took his masterful porchetta sandwich and gave it a shot in the arm. This crisp roasted pork is seasoned with spicy smoky jerk seasoning and topped with red cabbage and mango chutney. It’s where Italian meets the Caribbean and it’s brilliant Only available as a special from time to time.
