Main Course

This sandwich is built in layers — Korean BBQ marinated pork grilled hot, sweet and sour rhubarb pickles cutting through the richness, and a cilantro pepita pesto that brings it all together. Spiceology Korean BBQ blend and Chile Margarita in the same sandwich is the kind of flavor logic that just works.
