I've always seen Big Star Sandwich company come up on my Uber Eats app and have always wanted to…read moretry them. Today, being yet another "forgot to pack a lunch" days, I went ahead and ordered a Number 02 combo (Turkey).
Order was delivered to my workplace via Uber Eats.
Unwrapping the sandwich, I could tell that I was in for a treat. From the soft bun, to the fresh crisp veggies, and the portion size of their regular, I was already jonesing to take my first bite.
On this particular sandwich, I opted for the extra additions of cucumber, onions, and Mack sauce.
The veggies crunched beneath my teeth and I bit into the sandwich and the soft, textured bun ripped cleanly. This is a great combination of sensory experience in a tasty sandwich; the light flavours of the sauces mixing perfectly with the savoury/sweet Turkey meat? It was just on point. A hint of bacon flavour came through as this sandwich does include it, and the tomato shined just enough striking its perfect balance within. The guacamole was pleasant although not exactly flavourful, but added a nice creamy texture to compliment the sandwich overall, so no points lost. I'll always order to have avocado over not so I'm not complaining in the least.
The overall combination of light and subtle, dare I say "clean" flavours, sat within a textural matinee of crunch, crisp, soft, squish, creamy, savoury, sweet, and salty? I'll definitely be ordering this one again.
I also got a side of a water, and an Elmans Big Pickle. Not much to say about either besides they're what you'd expect them to be.
Next time I order from Big Star, and there *will be a next time*, lll make sure to dine in, so I can get the whole package upfront. If their decor is anything like their dishes (clean, fresh, balanced, deliciously paired), they'll have a definite repeat customer as far as I'm concerned, not that they don't have me hooked already~!
10/10, will eat from again
