Food & Shelter: Our Bite of the Month

The Sandwicheria
Location: 1883 Springfield Ave Maplewood
What we love: The Pulled Pork Bowl and Chaufa.
Why we love it: The outstanding service is the only thing better than the food. The pulled pork was rich and flavorful, the Chaufa (Peruvian-style fried rice) packed the perfect umami punch, and every bite felt like comfort food with an elevated twist. We made the rookie mistake of getting the bread on the side—don’t be like us. Go all in and get the sandwich. Trust us, the carbs are worth it.
