Irish people divided over chicken fillet roll after clip of deli worker goes viral

As everyone knows, chicken fillet rolls are the staple of an Irish diet, be it a convenient late breakfast or the hangover cure, but now it seems we've found the best one in the country.

Where is this perfect roll, we hear you ask?

In the Daybreak deli in Ballybough, Dublin, apparently.

It all started when one Twitter user uploaded a video of their lunch getting made in front of them.

Now, while we have some major questions about their choices of filling (the red onion with the cheese?!), we have to bow in awe at the technique used by the deli worker.

And social media was just as overwhelmed, confused, but mostly in shock over the beauty of the technique.

One user tweeted: "This is a thing of beauty. A standard that all delis should aspire to.

A second added: "Whoever is making this roll should be Taoiseach"

A third noted: "Never seen anything as beautiful in my life

While a fourth said: "Haven’t seen this much love in a chicken fillet roll since €3 meal deals were around"

But others were left less impressed - saying it was like something you'd see in Chopped.

"So, they have it chewed and all for you? Nope"

"If people start asking for their chicken rolls like this I’m quitting" tweeted a deli worker.

So we turned to the experts on the chicken fillet roll in Ireland - The Two Johnnies.

The duo were left unimpressed, tweeting: "Chopping up the fillings of a chicken fillet roll like that is like drinking Guinness out of a Coors Light glass, might taste the same but it’s just not right."
