On Thursday, Jan. 29, the region's 5-year-old Wicked 'Wiches food truck will launch Wicked 'Wiches & Brew, its brick-and-mortar restaurant-bar, in Tampa.
Operating until midnight during the week and 'til 3 a.m. on the weekend, 'Wiches & Brew will offer a rotating lineup of gourmet sandwiches, carried over from the mobile kitchen, in Urban Cantina's former space at 223 S. Howard Ave.
Items like the signature Fatt, Toast and Wood Fired Flat sandwiches will anchor the new restaurant's menu alongside house-made pickles and several kinds of hand-cut fries (and dipping sauces).
Delivery and take-away orders will accommodate eaters who don't want to stay and grub. And brunch will be served Sundays, too.
"We are in the perfect location to embrace the neighboring culinary culture… Our food and drink menu will be interesting and eclectic," said owner Sofia Goodell in a news release Thursday.
Diners will be able to choose from 20 local draft brews, as well as hundreds of additional beers and wines. Cigar City Brewing plans to create a "'Wiches Brew" for the restaurant's opening, according to the release.
