Kota, also known as a “quarter” or “bunny chow” in some areas, is a legendary South African street food. It’s a hearty, flavor-packed sandwich made with a hollowed-out quarter loaf of bread and filled to the brim with everything from fries and sausage to cheese, sauces, and more. It’s messy, indulgent, and incredibly satisfying.
