What Happened to Jimmy & Drew's After Best Thing I Ever Ate? (Boulder, CO)

Best Thing I Ever Ate, Season 4, Episode 4

The deli episode featured Jimmy & Drew's take on a Reuben, built with house-fried latkes in place of rye bread, a swap that earned the sandwich a spot on Food Network's The Best Thing I Ever Ate after being singled out by Claire Robinson. Jimmy & Drew's 28th Street Deli was a made-from-scratch sandwich shop in Boulder, Colorado, where the two owners who had relocated from Chicago cured and prepared their own meats in house. A Yelp listing updated 2026-06 marks the 2855 28th Street location as permanently closed, with no listed successor business at the address. Delivery-menu pages for the deli on sites such as Grubhub and Allmenus remain archived online but show no active ordering, consistent with the closure noted on Yelp.

Food Paradise, Season 4, Episode 8 Aired 2012

On Sandwich Paradise 2: The Upper Crust (2012), Jimmy & Drew's 28th Street Deli was featured for a Reuben sandwich built with two potato latkes in place of traditional rye bread. Esquire magazine had already named the Boulder deli's version one of the best sandwiches in the country. The deli also appeared on Food Network's Best Thing I Ever Ate in an October 2010 'At a Deli' episode. A Google Places search for the 28th Street Deli's address now returns The Yellow Deli, indicating the location has since changed hands; the current occupant's website, checked 2026-09-08, describes it as a restaurant themed around a fictional Spanish town rather than the original Jewish-deli concept.
