Brooklyn entrepreneur Samuel Saverance is launching Farley's Sloppy Joes, a restaurant dedicated to the nostalgic American dish, the sloppy joe. Drawing on his experience from Bunna Cafe and inspired by the cultural significance of sloppy joes, Saverance seeks to revive the dish’s humble reputation. The restaurant will feature a menu that goes beyond traditional offerings, exploring global influences, while maintaining a retro diner atmosphere. This venture reflects the broader trend of reimagining comfort foods in a post-pandemic dining landscape, combining affection for childhood memories with culinary innovation.
"If you're American, you probably grew up having a sloppy joe in grade school. I thought it was weird you can't just go into a restaurant and get them; love them or hate them, it's a strong part of American culture."
"The sloppy joe has obscured origins, but it's thought the 'loose meat' sandwich was conceptualized in Sioux City, Iowa. Others say it originated in Havana, Cuba, from a man named José Abeal Otero with a 'Sloppy Joe' nickname."
