Bunk Bar<\/a> is an offshoot of the wildly popular Bunk, noted Portland sandwich purveyor, which specializes in a short list of awesome sandwiches. \u00a0We were actually meeting for dinner around the corner at Boke Bowl, an impressive start-up that serves mash-up variations of ramen and a few other Asian dishes. Boke was closing early, so we ordered take-out there, and I zipped around the corner to get a to-go sandwich from Bunk.<\/p>\n

The muffaletta<\/a>, a New Orleans invention, came about as a result of the proprietor of a local establishment called Central Grocery<\/a>, improvised on the small plate he was serving local Italian farmers a hundred years ago. \u00a0The farmers, selling their produce at the local market, would stop by Central and order a little Italian meat, cheese, and bread. \u00a0Salvatore Lupo, proprietor, decided to put the meats and cheese, with some olive salad (diced olives and vegetables, oregano, garlic), on a 9″ round loaf for convenience sake. \u00a0A legend was born.<\/p>\n

So I order Bunk’s version, which is pretty close to spot on, with the exception of the roll (generally not available outside of New Orleans). \u00a0Bunk used (it appeared to me) a hearty version of a French boule<\/a>, which was, to me, a pleasing choice.<\/p>\n

A full muffaletta in New Orleans is generally too much for one diner, and at Bunk, the same would be true. \u00a0Their sandwich is approximately 1\/4 of a loaf, and at $8, is worthy of recognition from visitors from the Crescent City.<\/p>\n

I’d be wanting to try Bunk for some time, and thanks to Boke closing early on the day we were going out, I’ve found a new favorite place. \u00a0Can’t wait to try some of their other sandwiches.<\/p>\n
