Terrific Takeout: Num Pang

Never ever have we recommended a Cambodian cuisine.
Peachy Deegan thinks she is being exotic when she goes to the West Side...

However, never ever have we seen a sandwich with PEACHES in it.
Grilled peaches.

Featuring a GUINNESS MAPLE GLAZE.
Surely, they were thinking of Peachy Deegan when they created this little number available through Labor Day, and thank you readers for making us aware of it.

We absolutely love all things peachy and Irish!
The "Grilled Summer Peach Sandwich" is available at Num Pang on a toasted 6" semolina roll with of course grilled peaches, Guinness maple glaze, bacon, chives and jalapenos dressed with chili yogurt.

One of the most creative endeavors we've seen in our sandwich travels, this will delight your tastebuds.
Here are the head shots of the peach:
You know in takeout we are interested in more than the main course, and it is a lovely time of year for zucchini and squash; at Num Pang it is grilled with spring onions and served with a garlic chive vinaigrette! So healthy and delicious!
Finally, you know a salad is always in order and we suggest the Roasted Chicken Salad at Num Pang. Romaine, cabbage, bell peppers, onions, and soy sprouts have a herbivore soiree in the dish, your mouth and your stomach! Celebrate summer with this winner!

Num Pang is Terrific Takeout.
Though they are Cambodian, isn't everyone that loves Guinness a little bit Irish?!
We think so.

WHY WE'RE DIFFERENT
OUR SANDWICHES ARE MADE TO BE ENJOYED AS THEY ARE.
Num Pang, the Cambodian term for “bread” or “sandwich,” is a gourmet sandwich that will be served on a freshly toasted semolina flour baguette with Num Pang’s signature chili mayo. At Num Pang, a rotating selection of sandwiches are freshly made-to-order daily.For more information, visit our FAQ section.Ratha Chaupoly and Ben Daitz met on the Clark University Campus in 1992. When the college buddies reconnected in New York City in 1998, they were surprised to find that they were both working in the restaurant industry. With Chaupoly at Blue Water Grill and Daitz at Tabla, the two discussed their similar experiences with striving for success in the competitive New York restaurant industry.While helping Chaupoly during the opening of Kampuchea Restaurant in the Lower East Side, Daitz fell in love with the num pang sandwiches his friend had created based on his mother’s Cambodian-style cooking. Then, more than ten years later, the pair have opened Num Pang Sandwich Shop in Union Square. Their latest location at 140 East 41st Street opened in June of 2011.
