First Look at HBH Gourmet Sandwiches, Now Serving Short Rib Pastrami in Carroll
In April, we posted on the demise of fresh hummus joint Olga’s on Smith and noticed signage for its replacement. The silhouette of a pig’s head looms over the logo for HBH Gourmet Sandwiches & Smoked Meats like the lid of a bullet smoker, and for good reason: The new café cures its own bacon for BLTs, smokes shoulder for its pulled pork, and for the sandwich-adverse, serves fried pork balls with barbecue sauce as a starter. Meats — including a somewhat Montreal-esque short rib pastrami — are cured and smoked on the premises; pickles, sauces, and mustard are also made from scratch. The owners, who have been friends for thirty years, tell us they’ve been open for a week and plan to sell beer and wine at the 30-seat spot. For now, though, they’d be happy to pour you a made-to-order Vietnamese coffee.
