My favourite Vancouver sandwich spot is expanding to Kitsilano. Fans of Yaletown’s PHAT (an acronym for Pretty Hot and Tasty), and in particular their smoked meat sandwiches, will rejoice in hearing that William Kaminsky is opening his second location at 1859 West 4th in the old Cheesecake 101 location. They picked up the keys yesterday, have their plans sorted, and are putting in their application for a liquor license. Expect longer opening hours, a menu that is a carbon copy of the Yaletown location’s, a communal table, espresso bar, and garage door frontage for al fresco suppage. D-day is July 1st.

They need to hire better staff. I went to Phat once and asked whether they had pastrami. I was promply lectured about the difference between smoked meat and pastrami. The worker immediately jumped on me and said: “So many people don’t know the difference between pastrami and smoked me.” She then proceeded to lecture me about the difference. I lived in New York city many years so I know better than her the difference. It was so offputting I left.
They could take a swing at me and I’d still wait for my sandwich.
I would have smoked her too.
I’m 99% sure that was supposed to read “smoked meat”.
They also need way better bread.
But I’m happy, Kits needs more good “fast” food.
i work with that girl. she is so great lol
