evenstevens100616

Even Stevens – a Utah-based chain that donates a sandwich to a non-profit for every sandwich it sells – has opened its first Arizona location in downtown Gilbert’s Heritage Marketplace.

After one day, more than 150 sandwiches already have been donated. (You can track the total on the web here.)

The menu features a dozen sandwiches ($6.95-$8.95) with creative twists, such as the Banh Belly (banh mi with pork belly), the Sloppy Joe (with beef and chorizo), and the Jackfruit Torta,

Salads ($7.85-$8.25) include the Blue(berry) Steel (spinach, blueberries, and granola) and the Pork Belly Wedge.

Stuffed French toast, a breakfast sandwich, and three breakfast burritos ($3.75-$7.75) highlight the breakfast/brunch menu.

See the full menu here.

Unlike most sandwich shops, Even Stevens serves alcohol, including local craft beers, domestic beers, mimosas, and Bloody Marys.

Hours are 7 a.m.-10 p.m. Monday-Saturday and 9 a.m.-4 p.m. Sunday.
