Our Story

My name is Mitchell AbouJamra. I am the Chef and Owner. My family has owned deli’s, butcher shops & neighborhood markets for decades. We know this business ALL TOO WELL! And yes, the NAME was inspired by Taylor. Just the NAME! No…it’s not an Easter egg. Yes…I hope she knows we exist! Yes, I think she is great. No, I am not a swifty! Yes, I like football. No! this is not a Taylor Swift restaurant !

My “Uncle” Tommy (technically a cousin) still owns Knob Hill meat market in Flint, MI which has been open since the 1920s. My immediate family members have worked at Knob Hill since we immigrated over in the 1970s. I grew up running the grocery isles and getting in the way behind the butcher counter.

I come from a family of butchers. Although we will not be providing butchery items for sale, we do provide high quality painstakingly selected deli meats. We have curated a selction of meats for all of our locations across the country.

The sandwich menu is simply takes on classic sandwiches I grew up with, or have grown to love, and I put my culinary experience on them. I just make them the way I like them through my culinary cultural upbringings…hope you do as well. We specialize in using a bread called Schiacciata (ski-ah-chi-ah-ta). it’s a thiner cousin of focaccia. Our ingredients are unique and purposefully put together. We DO ask that you respectfully do not make modifications unless they are dietary or religious requirements. We want you to experience the sandwiches as we intend them.
