Winter Chop Chop 2018 – UD Goes Brazilian!

Urban Deli decided to throw a wider net this year to look for deli style food from around the world.

This year our 2018 Winter Chop Chop is celebrating Brazil’s Carnival. Brazil’s Carnival week was originally a food festival that celebrated the last time to eat abundantly before Lent, a period of frugality. It ties in nicely to Uptown Saint John’s celebration of our food week: Chop Chop, which lives on through generous donations to the Lunch Connection twice a year.

Urban Deli’s CHOP CHOP Lunch includes:

  1. Brazilian Baked Ham & Cheese Sandwich (Bauru de Forno) – Layers of baked flavour!
  2. Brazilian Vinaigrette Salad (Pico de Gallo) – Balances the richness of the sandwich
  3. Dessert: Brazilian Cinnamon Rain Drop Doughnuts (Bolinhos de Chuva) – perfect sweet finish!

Join us – call for reservations! 652.(DELI) 3354

Chop Chop Menu and General Tso at the Deli

A rough idea of what our General Tso chicken sandwich will look like.

Chop Chop arrives at Urban Deli with the question, “Who or what is General Tso?” Well, the who is General Tso Tsung-tang, a Qing Dynasty general from Hunan (China). But it is the what associated with his name that drew our attention and spurred our culinary creativity.

General Tso is an Asian chicken dish, a bit sweet and a bit spicy. Of course, we’re not doing General Tso’s chicken in the usual way. We’re doing our take on it, and making it a sandwich for Chop Chop 2016! This is our Chop Chop menu this year:

Two Course Lunch – $13

$1 from each Chop Chop dish is donated to the Lunch Connection

General Tso’s Chicken Sandwich

tso’s is prounounced ‘so’ (the ‘t’ is silent)

boneless breaded deep-fried chicken pieces tossed in a sweet, slightly spicy sauce.  Served on warm grilled soft bread, topped with sesame seeds, fresh cucumber slices, shaved carrot, green onion

served w/ a ramakin side of housemade slaw
(green apple, purple and green cabbage, onion, carrots, fresh lime, chilis)

Dessert

housemade mini chocolate Whoopie Pie

General Tso Chicken...an image resembling what we're putting together, and before it is put into the bread for a sandwich. Yum!
