Friday full house and a cold one, R95

A full loaf with slap chips, two russians, an egg, cheese, atchar and chakalaka, and a 440 straight out of the fridge. From four on Friday at all four counters, until the bread is finished.

Put one aside for Friday

The fire is lit at ten

The coals go on at ten and the first loaves are cut by half past. Bread comes up from the bakery on Mooki Street twice a day, so nothing on this counter has been standing since morning, and when the last loaf is gone we lock the hatch — on a good Friday that is before six. The chips are cut here out of potatoes, not poured out of a bag, and the atchar and the chilli sauce are cooked in the back on a Sunday and bottled the same week. Ntombi opened the Orlando East counter in 2011 with one griddle and a fold-out table. The other three are run by people she trained, and two of them are her children.
