New Glaswegian food mag Sandweegies celebrates the everyday staple that fuels the city; it’s as much a homage to the people behind the counter as it is to the perfect sarnie. Featured cafes, restaurants and pit stops are brought to life by Paul Reich’s distinct flash photography—a stylish blend of cool steel interiors and mouth-watering cross-sections.
‘Soft or crispy?’ is the dilemma at the heart of this ‘Breakfast’ themed sophomore edition, hinged around Glasgow’s infamous morning roll. As editor Nancy Heley observes in her editorial: ‘The moment you isolate something ordinary, it suddenly becomes far more interesting.’ Leaf through an abundance of features championing Glasgow’s finest eateries and their various bread-based breakfast offerings—from Mesa, the brunch spot with global influences, to Barras Market’s staple joint, New Market Cafe. Woven throughout this edition are wide-ranging ‘Roll Stories’ plucked from the lives of Glasgow locals, united by their love of the nation’s morning roll—whether it be link, square, soft or crispy. A celebration of tradition that also anticipates a shift in the city’s culinary landscape.
