Farley's, located in Bed-Stuy, pays homage to the often-overlooked sloppy joe sandwich, celebrating its significance in Americana cooking. This sandwich, made with ground meat in a thick, sweet tomato sauce, has historically been viewed as a low-status food compared to hamburgers and chili dogs. At Farley's, customers can choose to have their slop directly on the sandwich or on the side, allowing for a personalized eating experience. The restaurant challenges the negative stereotypes surrounding the sloppy joe, fostering a new appreciation for this classic dish.
The sloppy joe is an unsung icon of Americana cooking, several rungs down the ladder of respectability from its more celebrated quick-serve cousins, such as the hamburger and the chili dog.
At Farley's, a new counter-service restaurant in Bed-Stuy specializing in sloppy-joe sandwiches, slop takes on a mantle of respect, even reverence.
