The lunch options in Wainscott got more interesting this week with the opening of the SoFo Sandwich Co. at the long-empty spot that was previously home to Breadzilla, popular for its baked goods and takeout breakfast and lunch menu. The new shop is by Peter Ambrose, a catering chef whose food many will be familiar with from Love Bites, a fund-raiser for Katy’s Courage, among others. He also has the Endless Summer line of sauces, glazes, and rubs.
Over the colder months, he was testing some of his creations at Goldberg’s Famous Bagel outposts, prepping fans for what’s to come at his new location. “Sandwiches are a great vessel for presenting approachable elevated food, which is what I love to cook,” he said in a message to The Star. The menu includes sandwiches like a coffee-rubbed roast beef, with jus, horseradish, garlic aioli, and melted cheddar on an everything pretzel roll, a mushroom banh mi, a New Orleans-style muffaletta, and a Cubano, all with hand-cut fries, as well as a variety of fried chicken sandwiches: Americano, spicy, and Korean.
Prices range from $14 to $18, with a pumped-up grilled cheese for $11 and a daily grab-and-go special sandwich for $12, which has an option for fries for an additional $3. Also on offer will be fried, grilled, and roasted chicken and a range of sides. The spot will be open seven days a week from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m.
