Naked Lunch Pig + Peach Sandwich [CLOSED]

Sandwich San Francisco

Advice from a local expert once again paid dividends as Ryan Stern, Managing Director of Foodbuzz, led me to Naked Lunch, an inspired market-driven sandwich shop that occupies the south corner of Enrico’s from Tuesday through Saturday. Check that, Naked Lunch occupies 504 Broadway through the end of lunch, at which point the proprietors cede the North Beach space back to Enrico’s in time for dinner. Enterprising owners Ryan J. Maxey (front of house) and Ian Begg (chef) worked together at Vignette, moved to Cafe Majestic in 2007 and opened Naked Lunch last year, naming their sandwicherie in honor of William Burroughs’ oddball novel.

Naked Lunch’s signature sandwich involves foie gras and house-made duck prosciutto, but it was actually the Pig + Peach Sandwich ($10) that made the biggest impression. A cross section of crusty Acme baguette offered just the right amount of give and contained sweet, juicy peaches, a judicious slather of garlic aioli, a thatch of mizuna and two types of pig, thick slabs of smoky bacon and rosy tenderloin, which Begg marinated and cooked before carving a few especially juicy slices.

Dose of Vitamin P spotlights my favorite pork dish from the previous week.
