I’ve said it once (the first time I went there), I said it again (the second time) and I’ll say it again right now: Grahamwich is a marriage of flavors in my mouth.
I’ve always loved a good sammy but chef Graham Elliot’s gourmet sandwich venture takes it to another level. This cash-only River North shoppe offers a chalkboard menu with 8 wildly creative sandwiches, sides (pickled seasonal veggies! truffled popcorn!) and a long, communal table. The communal table inevitably leads to perfect strangers gushing over their food together. Trust me- been there, done that.
Ryan and I may have laughed all the way down Ontario about my “marriage of flavors” comment but every Grahamwich stop I make absolutely justifies that statement. The Turkey Confit with candied yams, stewed cranberries and sage mayo was unbelievable and I thought I would love it forever but then I had the Smoked Whitefish. Perfection. And don’t even get me started on the Truffle Popcorn. Or the Salted Caramel Apple Pie Frozen Yogurt. Or the homemade soda… Or…
You get the point.
Oh and word on the street (literally) is that a Grahambulance (!!!) is in the works: a delivery VW van bringing sammie joy to the people.
So much love for Grahamwich.
