Sandwich Shop

Cured & Crafted

About

Cured & Crafted is a hot sandwich shop at 5685 N Milwaukee Ave in Jefferson Park, opened in 2025 by Michael Barboza. The kitchen uses proteins from Slagel Family Farms for sandwiches such as a chopped cheese on a seeded roll, a lomo saltado with fries tucked inside and a griddled Italian, along with salads, soup and fried sides.

What to know

  • Barboza worked in restaurant kitchens and dining rooms, then spent about a decade in education before opening the shop.
  • The chopped cheese is made with seasoned beef, grilled onions, lettuce, tomato and dijonaise.
  • The lomo saltado sandwich adds labneh, mayo and chimichurri to the steak.
  • Cheese curds with hatch chile ranch are on the side menu.
  • What Now Chicago places the shop in Gladstone Park, part of the Jefferson Park area.
