DAVIS CAFE’S “SWEET HEAT” CHICKEN SANDWICH: DA-YUM!

With

DAVID SOWINSKI (HE/THEY) ‘25 & ANAYA PATEL (ANY PRONOUNS) ‘25

Happy April! For the next three minutes, cast aside your end-of-semester woes and bask in the joys of recent queer pop culture. Music will never be the same now that Boygenius has dropped their first full-length album. After several years of miscellaneous projects Lucy Dacus, Phoebe Bridgers, and Julien Baker have blessed our ears with fortytwo minutes of friendship, heartbreak, and queer joy. Gay icon Kristen Stewart also directed Boygenius’ 14-minute short “The Film” which weaves together three dreams of the three respective artists.

Lady Gaga—only half departing music for Joker: Folie à Deux—exploded social media again with set photos that revealed a new look at Harley Quinn (and Harleen Quinzel?). The photos provided fans with a stunning costume and food for thought on what the highly-anticipated Joker musical will look like. Speculation is running rampant, and the Little Monsters are fiending.

It was a great year for gay TV, as noted at the GLAAD Media Awards last Thursday night. Winners included the timeless lesbian baseball story “A League of Their Own” for Outstanding New TV Series as well as “Bros,” one of the first gay romantic comedies by a major studio, for Outstanding Film.

Grammy Award winner Lizzo and her shapewear brand Yitty recently announced a line of genderaffirming shapewear titled, “Your Skin.” The collection features a binder top and tucking thong and will be available late this summer. Yitty made the announcement ahead of last Friday’s Transgender Day of Visibility, which saw an outpouring of support for trans people from across the country and around the world.

As the queer and trans community continues to face violence and legislative attacks, remember to take care of yourself and your community. Pay attention to queer and trans struggles, but remember to cherish

The Sweet Heat Chicken Sandwich. Photo from the Davidson College Website

Many Davidson students (including myself) were laden with angst and anxiety when Davis Cafe’s second-semester menu update hit the streets. The Tuscan Pesto, the Chicken Parm, the Mushroom Swiss, so much excitement, so many changes. While all of these new additions deserve their own reviews, it’s the Sweet Heat, a perfect harmony of textures and flavors, that exists on its own playing field. Let me describe a bite in the most sensual way possible. First, the consumer meets a soft yet sturdy, subtly sweet, egg-washed brioche bun. It’s the perfect foundation for the strong flavors to follow. Then your top row of teeth cuts into a crisp, refreshing slice of romaine lettuce while down below, your pallet starts coping with the addition of… what is that?...bread and butter pickle?!!

It’s the perfect cool-down crew. Now we get into the real meat and potatoes. From top to bottom: thin shreds of union fried to crispy perfection, a slice of pepper jack cheese, and finally: that crispy, crunchy, tender, steamy chicken breast with a crispy, spice-embedded breading adorned with glistening chili-spiced honey. The sandwich is in perfect harmony. It packs enough of a punch to justify the name while each component serves its own special role in making it much more than just your average “hot chicken sandwich”. It is a tangy sweet perfection.
