This is a self-assured sandwich. Kosta's splits its soft roll and piles it high and wide with pork that's been made adobo style (braised in a tangy and savoury Filipino sauce). To balance that juicy, smoky meat, they've added mayo and topped it with a delightful pineapple salsa – a medley of chipotle (smoked jalapeno), onion, coriander and beautiful sweet fruit. Add fermented chilli, too. If you like tacos al pastor, you'll love this.

'We don't need that': US rapper Kanye West barred from visiting Australia

Controversial US rapper Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, has been barred from visiting Australia, Home Affairs Minister Tony Burke let slip in an interview with the ABC. On July 2, Mr Burke said West had a history of offensive comments, and his staff re-examined the record producer's visa after he released a song in May 2025 titled Heil Hitler. "Officials still looked at the law and said you're going to have a song and promote that sort of Nazism, we don't need that in Australia," Mr Burke said. He said the visa wasn't for the purpose of concerts, and any future concert visa would be assessed. "Every visa application gets reassessed by my officials each time so I'm not taking away the way the act operates," he said. "Some people say 'oh, don't you believe in freedom of speech', and for Australian citizens, yeah, you've got full freedom of speech, but we have enough problems in this country already without deliberately importing bigotry." It comes as West and his Australian wife, Bianca Censori, faced speculation they had separated two years after they were married. The rapper married the Melbourne-born architect in a private ceremony in December 2022. The Department of Home Affairs was contacted for comment.

These four hot, soft and self-assured sandwiches make the new Kosta's a must-visit

There are few cafes in Sydney that encourage as much sandwich admiration as Kosta's Takeaway. Kosta's was in our recent Essential Sydney Cafes and Bakeries list for best sandwiches, and its legendary schnitty was an early addition to Sandwich Watch, a column dedicated to the Sydney rolls, wraps, subs and jaffles that deserve your attention. That's why when the Rockdale-born Kosta's opened a new outlet in a Martin Place food court, we thought we'd stop by. It was a wise decision, here are four sandwich reasons you should too. Starting with the fabulous adobo pork hot roll, $18 This is a self-assured sandwich. Kosta's splits its soft roll and piles it high and wide with pork that's been made adobo style (braised in a tangy and savoury Filipino sauce). To balance that juicy, smoky meat, they've added mayo and topped it with a delightful pineapple salsa – a medley of chipotle (smoked jalapeno), onion, coriander and beautiful sweet fruit.
