Shut Up and Eat was a sandwich shop in Portland, Oregon.[2] The business was established as a food cart by John Fimmano and Glenn Hollenbeck, and later became a brick and mortar operation in 2012.

Description

Shut Up and Eat was a "Philly-inspired" food cart at the A La Carts pod on Division Street,[3][4] and later a brick and mortar sandwich shop at the intersection of Cesar Chavez Boulevard and Gladstone Street in southeast Portland's Creston-Kenilworth neighborhood.[5][6] Ned Lannamann described the space as "quite large, including two main dining rooms, a large kitchen, a separate back room, and outdoor seating".[7]

The casual counter-service restaurant's menu included breakfast, meatball, and submarine sandwiches, cheesesteaks (including one called the Broad Street Bomber), and other sandwiches.[6][8] The Butternut Squash sandwich had roasted butternut squash, egg, and arugula on an English muffin.[9] The mortadella sandwich had mortadella, provolone, fried egg, and caramelized onions.[10] Bread was supplied by Pearl Bakery.[11] Shut Up and Eat also offered happy hour.[12]

History

Former Philadelphia resident John Fimmano and Glenn Hollenbeck started Shut Up and Eat as a food cart,[13] then transitioned to a brick and mortar operation in 2012.[5]

In 2011, Shut Up and Eat was a vendor at the Indulge at Jupiter festival's Food Cart Land expansion. The event was held at Jupiter Hotel and highlighted local eateries.[14] For Pizza Week in 2014, a collaboration between Shut Up and Eat and Gladstone Street Pizza resulted in a special pizza with toppings from the roast-pork sandwich.[15]

The restaurant closed unexpectedly in March 2019. A note posted on social media and the restaurant's windows said:

Regretfully, after nearly ten wonderful years, Shut Up and Eat has served its last sandwich. As of 6 p.m. on Sunday, March 3rd, we have closed our doors for the final time. We are very grateful to everyone who has supported us over the past decade.[8]

The Japanese-Hawaiian restaurant Hapa PDX began operating in the space, starting in August 2019.[16]

Reception

In her 2014 book Food Lovers' Guide to Portland, Oregon, Laurie Wolf said Shut Up and Eat "makes great sandwiches" with "terrific and well-matched toppings". She called the meatball sub "excellent" and said the restaurant, "despite the possibly disquieting name, is inviting and worth a trip. Or two."[17] Anna Katz recommended in chicken or eggplant parmesan, seasonal salad, and shoestring fries in her 2019 book Easy Weekend Getaways from Seattle: Short Breaks in the Pacific Northwest.[11]

Bradley Foster and Andy Kryza included Shut Up and Eat in Thrillist's 2013 list of the "coolest bars and restaurants in town".[18] In 2014, Michael Russell of The Oregonian gave the restaurant a one star rating.[19] He included the mortadella sandwich in a 2015 overview of the city's best sandwiches,[10] and ranked Shut Up and Eat number 9 in the newspaper's 2017 list of the city's 17 best sandwich shops.[20]

Thrillist called Shut Up and Eat "a sandwich shop favorite in Southeast Portland" and recommended, "Go for a bacon, egg, and cheese in the morning or stop by later and choose from their extensive list of unique lunchtime offerings."[21] The website's Drew Tyson included the Bomber in a 2015 overview of Portland's 11 best cheesesteaks.[22]
