The sandwich features Mike’s BBQ brisket marinated with fermented fish, honey, and special rubs and spices, which Nok brought back from her hometown of Trang in Southern Thailand, and is topped with Kalaya’s som tum (papaya salad) on a Conshohocken Italian Bakery potato roll. They will make 100 sandwiches available beginning at 2 p.m.

“Everyone in Philly love’s Mike’s BBQ, and July 4th weekend is all about BBQ and outdoor parties, so this was an easy decision to run this collaboration on the rooftop at Bok Bar,” said Suntaranon.
