The Jerk Pulled Chicken Sandwich on offer at Calgary's [Butcher](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/juicy-marbles-butcher-minced-bangers) and the [Baker](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bagel-bouquet) looks like the perfect sandwich. The [spicy sandwich](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spicy-sandwiches) is stacked with flavors, from juicy 12-hour slow-cooked jerk chicken, to lime slaw and a mango salsa all on a rustic baguette.

The Jerk Pulled Chicken Sandwich boasts a house-made jerk sauce and makes for the perfect lunch or dinner when complimented with a soup or one of the shop's superfood salads. All of the bread used in Butcher and the Baker sandwiches is baked in-house.

The Butcher and the Baker aim for quality over quantity, creating all of their sandwiches "farm-fresh," sourcing quality ingredients from local producers who adhere to sustainable farming methods, while they also use only eco-friendly packaging.
