Korean Barbecue Sandwiches

Let’s Toast has opened its first permanent location at Uptown Plaza in Phoenix. Owners Sumin Kim and Sean Atkinson transformed the popular Uptown Farmers Market favorite into a full-time storefront, crafting Korean BBQ sandwiches to a larger audience. The new restaurant sits at the northeast corner of Central Avenue and Camelback Road, in one of Phoenix’s busiest retail destinations.

Jess Harter via MXSW:

Several months ago I told you it was coming, and now it’s here. Let’s Toast has opened its first brick-and-mortar store at Uptown Plaza in Phoenix.

The husband-and-wife team of Sumin Kim and Sean Atkinson have graduated from one of the Uptown Farmers Market’s most beloved Saturday fixtures to a full-time storefront.

It’s located on the northeast corner of Central and Camelback, right across from Horse & Hyde.

The star of the menu remains the Bulgogi Cheesesteak (pictured): marinated ribeye, gooey mozzarella, a fried egg, and house-made sauces on buttered Japanese milk bread.

New additions include a cinnamon butter toast dessert item, with more sweets planned to complement the savory lineup.

Open 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. Tuesday through Friday and 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday and Sunday.

Expect a line, but it’s worth the wait.

Bankruptcy Forces Salad and Go to Close Permanently

Tempe-based Dutch Bros Coffee plans to acquire 51 former Salad and Go locations after the fast-casual chain filed for bankruptcy, with the ongoing cyclosporiasis outbreak contributing to its collapse. Court documents filed Tuesday in federal bankruptcy court identify a Dutch Bros-affiliated LLC as the buyer of dozens of Salad and Go restaurants in Arizona and Nevada, along with leases for additional former locations in Texas and Oklahoma. #saladandgo #dutchbros #dutchbroscoffee #tempeaz #drivethru
Salad and Go filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection Monday and announced it will permanently close all of its locations, serving its final meals Wednesday. The Gilbert-founded drive-thru restaurant chain submitted voluntary bankruptcy petitions in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas in Houston. The company said declining consumer demand, rapid expansion challenges, and rising operating costs made its business unsustainable. Salad and Go also said the Cyclospora foodborne illness outbreak in July hurt sales, even though health officials did not link the chain to the contamination. #saladandgo #gilbertaz #cyclospora #bankruptcy #chapter11
