| | Sandwiches Step Up | | 
Salt & Pickle | | | Burgers may never leave our hearts, lobster rolls are (thankfully) likely to linger and we’re convinced gourmet hot dogs deserve their own food group, but there’s always room for a traditionalist that’s ready to mix things up, and sandwiches tick all the right boxes. Meat focused? Yes. Carbs galore? Yes. Plenty of ways to customise and take it over the top? Of course. The snazzed-up sandwiches of 2017 are claiming a new spot in our hearts…
| | When you’re aiming for ‘the magnificence of Katz Deli in North London’, you better aim high. Max’s Sandwich Shop focuses on elevating the homelier fillings of yesteryear into street-food ready delights. Homemade piccalilli, impossibly thin shoestring fries and gravy mayo are now all available at Dalston’s Birthdays. Running as a six-month residency, the menu will stick to Max Halley’s modern British classics, layered up with braised short ribs, sauerkraut and kimchi. Cocktails will be stepping it up a gear too: there’s a slushie machine on site that Max serves frozen margs from for some serious weekend vibes, and Campari and orange is already the cocktail of choice. Summer nights on the Dalston Strip are about to involve a whole lot more focaccia.
Gareth Phillips and Ben Chancellor started something of a street food revolution with their Sub Cult sandwiches. Trading since 2014, they bring as much care to subs as their peers bring to burgers, taking their cues from the States with a secret bagel-brioche roll recipe. You certainly won’t find a crusts-off and cucumber approach here. The Sub Cult guys are talking truffle mayo, poached Brixham lobster and seared scallops. From 5th July, we’ll be looking out for them at White Cross Place, just off from Finsbury Avenue Square.
Down in Crystal Palace, new neighbourhood deli Salt & Pickle has been open just one week. Championing preservation via treacle-cured salmon, homemade pastrami and corned beef, owner Manish Utton-Mishra will be showing what’s possible when time’s on your side. Max may be aiming for the Katz crown in the north, but it looks like he’ll have competition south of the river, too.
All in? From corned beef to kimchi, sandwiches are game.

Forms in Space… by Light (in Time) | | | Sponsored Listing | |  | | | There are just a few weeks left to catch Tate Britain’s 2017 commission of Cerith Wyn Evans’ Forms in Space… by Light (in Time) in the Duveen Galleries. Made from almost 2km of neon lighting, suspended from the ceiling and configured into straight lines, sweeping curves and spiralling forms, this is a spectacle best admired from beneath and not to be missed.
