A traditional Danish cuisine classic, the roast pork sandwich (flæskestegssandwich) is as popular as ever. This handheld feast is served all over the city, from dingy hole-in-the-wall eateries to fancier places. But if you ask Copenhagen locals (or even “The Guardian”), there’s really only one place to go: Isted Grill on the once-shady-now-cool Istedgade. Behind an unassuming façade lies a foodie sanctuary that has saved many a party-goer from a massive hangover. There’s really nothing insanely complicated about a flæskestegssandwich: a sesame burger bun, one or two slices of pork roast with crispy crackling, pickles, and red cabbage – that’s it. What makes Isted Grill’s sandwich special is that the owner, dubbed “The Flæskestegs Minister” by locals, fries the slices of flæskesteg on both sides before topping them off with condiments and squeezing them between a deliciously toasted bun. This treat is to be enjoyed with a bottle of chocolate milk, as tradition prescribes.
