Today’s Special: Grilled vegetables and burrata on ciabatta, La Ghianda
My favourite restaurant in Vancouver, La Quercia, has a sister daytime deli across the street. Of course I love it also, but given its location, it’s not the most convenient for workday lunches. My frequency there is much less than I’d like it to be. I’m fully on the burrata bandwagon so when I saw it was a star of one of their home-baked ciabatta sandwiches, I couldn’t say no. For me, it’s almost like the cheese world’s equivalent to whipped cream. So of course it’s going to make vegetables extra delicious and be the perfect textural contrast to the chewy bread. Cannot.get.enough. Word of warning: unless you possess some stealth etiquette moves, that flour is going to be all over you. But, when things taste this good, who the f&*k cares?
