"Beef in a bun" sounds like a Hormel abomination, the kind that stays shelf stable in the 7-Eleven cooler case for a few months. It barely describes the curry pans that Mutsumi Takehara makes at Sandbox Bakery on Cortland. Takehara gently rolls out a quarter-inch layer of challah ― all cotton and air, as if it's been kneaded by a balloon animal ― and folds it around a deep golden shredded beef stew. There are just enough carrots and onions in the curry to sweeten it up and just enough spice to prickle the tongue. A $3 pastry and an apple from Good Life down the street makes for a fine, fork-free lunch. One you could even eat in the car, or warm up in the office microwave for the best desk meal you'll eat this week.
