"Byggyz, the wacky LES sandwich shop from renowned molecular gastronomy chef Wylie Dufresne’s dad Dewey Dufresne, will close on July 1 according to management. After taking six years to open, the tiny shop selling ingredient-heavy sandwiches lasted just 10 months at 37-39 Clinton St. near Stanton Street. The menu was tight with just four sandwiches, including the signature “Byggybeef” made with braised beef short rib, American cheese, hot peppers, pickled vegetables, pomegranate demi-glaze, and a house sauce of mayo, mustard, and sweet peppers. Its sandwiches came jam-packed with ingredients and are also all over $12, putting it on the more upscale end of straightforward sandwich shops." - Kayla Kumari Upadhyaya
