Wynwood is part of city I go to solely if one thing catches my eye. Enter Damwich.
Whereas everyone seems to be busy opening smash burger joints in Wynwood, sandwich-loving couple Adam Mizrahi and Ana Lopez thought, “What a couple of sandwich store?“
I requested them concerning the origins of their identify, and their reply made complete sense to me:
“We love dam sandwiches. Adam all the time eats sandwiches, and we wished to replicate on how superior sandwiches are when they’re made effectively.“
-Ana Lopez
The menu options quite a lot of sandwiches subcategorized into Ham and Pork, Turkey, Italian, Beef, Hen, Seafood, and Vegetarian. Since they’re not making conventional sandwiches, there are names like Dam Tony (Cuban), Dam Muffy (Muffaletta), and Dam con Bistec (Pan con Bistec), which doesn’t take a Sherlock Holmes-type thoughts to determine.
The bread comes from an area Miami bakery that delivers each day to them. At present, six signature sauces are made in-house: garlic cilantro, garlic mayo, marinara, olive mayo, tzatziki, and a basil unfold.
After I tried to squeeze them for a favourite, they couldn’t decide one. Adam did say, “I like all of them. Sandwiches are actually about your temper. Generally, you need one thing greasy, sizzling, or chilly.”
However they did say that the Dam Buffalo (Spicy Buffalo Hen made with hand-breaded hen tenders), Dam Imply (Ham, Bacon, Cheese), Dam Franklin (Cheesesteak), and Dam Saltado (Lomo Saltado) are their signature creations.
Damwich is just obtainable for pickup in Wynwood and thru common supply avenues, however most significantly, it’s obtainable by means of its web site, Damwich.com, the place there’s a 50% off take care of the code DAM50. It’s how we first tried them.
“We simply opened and are enhancing each day. We may also add extra sandwiches, together with breakfast sandwiches (and open earlier) quickly.“
–Adam Mizrahi
Adam invited Marcela and me to their kitchen to pattern a bunch of Damwiches. Certainly one of my picks is the Dam Buffalo; you gotta love that the hen tenders are hand-breaded and never some common prepackaged tender. The Dam Franklin is a cheesesteak with garlic mayo that ties this sando collectively. I’m a mayo on my cheesesteak kinda fella, so I used to be all about it.
There’s additionally the Dam Pizzaz with Genoa salami, mozzarella, black olives, mushrooms, oregano, marinara sauce, and olive mayo. I just lately transformed from an olive hater to an olive lover, so I’m all about this man. The final should be the Dang Ham and Cheddar (no cursing) off the child’s menu; hear me out. Ham and cheese sandwiches are the final word type of consolation meals.
I’ve been consuming these guys since I used to be 5 years outdated when my Mother packed them for lunch in school. This can be a easy however completely executed ham and cheese sandwich. It’s ham, cheddar cheese, and crusty pressed bread, and that’s it. That’s all you want for an ideal little ditty like this.
I nearly forgot about these Dam Selfmade Potato Chips. How may I? Marcela and I couldn’t cease consuming them within the automobile on the drive residence. The spherical potato chips are fried recent, seasoned with a secret mix they wouldn’t divulge to me, and cilantro mayo for dipping. Dam good.
