Killer Melbourne sandwich joint Hugo’s Deli is coming to Sydney for two days only – and they are bringing some of their greatest hits with them, plus one “rarely released special”. Known for their whopping New York- and Japanese-inspired sandwiches, Hugo’s Deli is teaming up with Sydney’s favourite gelato masters Messina to throw a Messina Eats carpark party at Messina's Marrickville HQ – so you can taste Hugo’s delicious creations without getting on a plane.
On the tasty line-up you’ll see things like ‘You've Got Muffin To Lose’, an English muffin filled with pork and fennel sausage, fried egg, American cheese, ’nduja butter, breakfast sauce and shichimi (Japanese spice mix); and the ‘Fried Chicken Sando’ with Shokupan (Japanese milk bread), fried chicken, shredded lettuce, pickles, American cheese and Hugo’s sauce.
Be sure to save room for their cracking ‘Steak Frites’, which the team only whips out on special occasions. Think a crunchy baguette loaded with charred porterhouse steak, Café de Paris butter, Hugo’s steak sauce, fried capers, frites and comté cheese. Of course, Messina will be delivering the sweet goods with their ‘Triple Whammy Messinabon’ – a Milo gelato with swirls of Messinatella and hazelnut praline, sandwiched between Oreo biscuits and dipped in a Rocher glaze. A pop-up bar will be slinging fun and fruity cocktails and tinnies.
Messina Eats x Hugo’s Deli is going down on Friday, November 17 and Saturday, November 18, in the carpark of the Marrickville headquarters, kicking off from noon until late. See ya there, Hugo.
