Sandwich Safari: In Haus Cooking

Exceptional cooking with a side of sublime sandwich

I reported on In Haus Cooking chef/owner Michael Hauschild a few weeks ago as he ended up competing in the Canadian Culinary regional championships held at Raphaël restaurant last night.

What I was keeping to myself in that report is how fabulous I found their Deli sandwich to be. Hauschild confessed that while his sandwich options rotate frequently, it’s the Deli sandwich that you’ll always find on the menu.

He also proudly told me that the sandwich was created by 18-year-old culinary graduate Jackson Hall. On my visit, Hall had also served me one of the nicest lobster bisques in memory, you can read the original story here.

He’s assembled a sandwich that has all the elements in proportion from the selected combination of deli meats to the freshest vegetables and a delicious housemade Italian dressing.

The fillings were moist on beautifully baked in-house bread and came with a crisp side salad, all for only $15. 

At the moment, I’m still debating whether the In Haus Deli sandwich may not be the Sandwich of the Year.
