Chef Ratha Chau outside his Cambodian sandwich shop, Num Pang.
Arthur Bovino

"This isn't typical of what you'll see anywhere else," Chef Ratha Chau noted of the ginger barbecue brisket sandwich that he serves at Num Pang, his Cambodian sandwich shop just off Union Square in New York City.

And he's right. This is a tasty, messy sandwich. Juices drip down your fingers, there's mayo on your palms, you can't put it down once you start, and you need at least three napkins once you're done. But you just don't care. Tang, sour, sweet, creamy plus deep earthy meat on slightly toasted bread. It's a Sunday sandwich-- something to eat when you don't have to be anywhere.

So be wise. Take note of his recipe. - Arthur Bovino
