Stockwell Café + Lounge’s Buffalo Chicken Sandwich (P235)
Stockwell Café’s Buffalo Chicken Sandwich is, as owner Sherwin Choi puts it, “deconstructed then reconstructed Buffalo chicken wings." You get the chicken, fried until golden brown then slathered with traditional spicy wings sauce. There's also the coleslaw, which is cool and mildly sweet to balance out the heat, all sandwiched between panini-toasted bread.
