Sandwich Showcase: Smoked Meat at White Sails Bakery
White Sails Bakery is located on the Peggy’s Cove loop, closer to the Tantallon side. A bit of a trek from downtown, but I heard that they make a good smoked meat sandwich. I pined from afar… with hopes of smoke and deli dreams. Now I have a chauffeur (or in her words, a willing victim) so…
