Shuckin & Jivin Chicken Sandwich

Let’s throw a local contender into the ring in the chicken sandwich “battle” between Popeyes and Chick-fil-A: the chicken sandwich at this tiny restaurant in a strip mall right off the Palmetto in Miami Gardens.

So founder Ernisha Randolph decided to create one.

Babe's Montreal Smoked Meat Sandwich

Melanie and Jason Schoendorfer make plenty of great sandwiches – a bacon banh mi, an Italian roast pork, a BLT with their own bacon – but it’s their house-cured Canadian-style Wagyu beef pastrami that draws upon Mel’s Canadian background. A variation of Eastern European pastrami, Montreal smoked meat starts with brisket that’s dry-cured rather than brined, then rubbed with 12 herbs and spices before smoking. Their rub is French Canadian with a South Florida vibe, explains Jason.
