"Just a few days after announcing its closure, wacky LES sandwich shop Byggyz — run by Dewey Dufresne, father to famed science chef Wylie — now says it will keep chugging along, though with more limited hours. Grub Street reports that starting on July 7, the shop will be open on Saturdays and Sundays only. The restaurant still seeks investors, but until more moves are made, it will maintain a weekend opening. Dufresne will also still be popping up at Smorgasburg. Over the weekend, Dufresne’s team announced that the restaurant would close by July 1. It would have been a brief 10 months for the shop, which opened in September 2017 after years of build up and anticipation. Dufresne’s been in the sandwich business since 1969 and introduced his signature byggybeef sandwich at a San Gennaro festival in 2011. The shop serves a tight menu of sandwiches laden with ingredients, including that popular byggybeef containing braised beef short rib, American cheese, hot peppers, pickled vegetables, pomegranate demi-glace, and a special sauce." - Serena Dai

"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

If you don't want a particular something on your sandwich your allowed to take off and even better add on ingredients that wasn't originally on the sandwich. I got the karattom and added the apple cider jelly from the BygChyck with advocados. Glad I attempted that because I relished the taste that came from just a thought. LISTEN!! If you enjoy exploring the many creative ideas done with food or really just enjoy eating, Byggys is a place to visit. I've had the big chych, karrattom, tuna melty, and bygyy beef. Yes, I've been there four times. Neither was a disappoint. I was skeptical of peanut butter in the karattom and jelly in the big chyck. But just as I was when I took that first bite, will be surprised. Two more sandwiches left to try😋 Alright I'm back after trying the bygyy breakfast, byggy ben, byggy byrd and even their donut ice cream... Here are my thoughts 😱👍👍👍👍👍👍👍....... The only meal on the menu I did not like........was the cauliflower soup. Everything else just go and enjoy.

THE COUPLE • Have you ever tried getting inbetween a foodie and their food...⁉️ . Just a suggestion... DON'T☝🏼️🙅🏼 • THE COOKBOOK • The BYGGY BIRD: sliced marble rye bread, chicken liver pâté, wilted red onion, smoked duck breast, warm turkey breast, melted Muenster cheese😍, roast tomatoes, artichoke hearts, arugula, & mango mayonnaise 💥 . The BYGGY-BEEF: Seeded Semolina hero, warm beef slow braised in pomegranate juice, melted American cheese, hot pepper mix, and house ketchup💥 • THE CHEF • "I always say, 'A sandwich is a meal in the hand'! . The first sandwich shop that I ever did on my own was call Joe's. I remember thinking that if anyone ever walked in saying they knew Joe, I'd have free range to make up any story I wanted about the fictitious character. But seriously, I think it resonates with people, when they express that they will see a person rather than a thing. People connect more to people than they do to things you know... I've always been interested in words and their meaning and like to think of myself as a visual person, so I started fooling around with the optional letters that would yield something that would pronounce 'Biggies' while using some poetic licensing. . When I launched @BYGGYZ, I wanted to have core components on the menu: a beef product, a poultry product, and a seafood product. Over time I started playing around with our name in order to start developing a bit of a theme for the menu. We came up with the BYGGY Beef, the BYGGY Pyggy, the BYGGY Bird, and the BYGGY SOF. The SOF was a nod towards the “South Of France” where one can typically find some of the world’s finest sourced tuna. . In these years, my idea for BYGGYZ developed from just a sandwich shop to a place where you could experience the ethos of fine dining. It was a journey. Luckily I had Rachael by my side, keeping me on the straight and narrow. If I hadn't, who knows where I'd be at this stage in life." ~ Dewey & Rachael

Now this is a sandwich shop. Amazing employees and the two main guys that make the sandwiches are hysterical and clearly seem to have some brotherly love, best part is they know how to make you laugh. More Importantly these sandwiches were the best I've ever had. I have tried them all and I just couldn't stop day after day and living in this area for a while.. My dreams have become true. Thank you Mr. Dufresne for bringing a piece of heaven to this area.

BYGGYZ is a new project restaurant by Wylie Dufresne’s father. The staff was really nice and enthusiastic. As a big advocate of sandwiches the flavors were not what i was expecting. The BYGGYZ PYGGY was good, but still needs work . It seems though they need to fine tune their menu and the direction they want to go in with this new and interesting sandwich shop. I highly recommend checking this spot out though.

I love a good sandwich. This week had Bite, Tiny's and No 7 Sub. All three places are very good in terms of creativity, quality of ingredients, freshness, value for price and customer service. When I heard about Byggyz opening I was curious. Checked it out and the sandwich options are good. The guy who took my order and made the sandwich knew what he was taking about, explained the ingredients and thought behind each. The Veggylotta and Tuna SOF both caught my eye, went with the tuna. It was wild albacore with olive tapenade, picked egg, artichoke, red onion, anchovy, roast tomato, arugula and mustard on marble rye. Delicious! One of the best I've ever had (and I've had a lot, from Eisenberg's to beyond). The customer service was good, they were friendly, the woman who rang me up was nice and they accept apple pay. Was hoping for a good potato chip to compliment my sandwich like a McClure's, North Fork, Zapp's or even Tiny's style no-name ridge chips, but they carry Dirty. Also got the donut ice cream sandwich, which was just ok. It just didn't have a lot of flavor so was kind of disappointing after the great sandwich (for the love of god do not eat it near your computer keyboard, the cookie crumbles go everywhere!). The donut plant and il laboratorio del gelato have probably ruined me for other donuts and ice cream/gelato though, so don't take my word for it. Overall I would definitely check Byggyz out again, it's nice to have a new option.
