Ike’s Love & Sandwiches opens in Brentwood with two new sandwiches

Like sandwiches? Be one of the first 50 people in line at the June 16 grand opening of Ike’s Love & Sandwiches in Brentwood, and you get a chance to win a free sandwich – or, for one lucky person, free sandwiches for an entire year. (Please consult your doctor before taking up that offer.)

The most recent Ike’s location in the Bay Area-based sandwich empire (now in six states) is already open and serving at 5411 Lone Tree Way #120, in the Lone Tree Plaza. Ike Shehadeh himself, who founded the chain in 2007, will be signing T-shirts at the grand opening and overseeing the distribution of free ‘wiches, saying in a statement “I still get chills every time we open a new Bay Area location.”

To celebrate, as Ike’s often does when debuting a new spot, the Brentwood location is unveiling new sandwiches. (The chain already has more than 800 on its roster.) The Dirty D is a roast-beef sandwich with mango-honey barbecue sauce, purple slaw and pepper jack. And the Elizabeth Imbrie is a vegetarian version of that, made with vegan turkey, and apparently named for the photographer in the old rom-com “The Philadelphia Story.”

Since founding Ike’s in San Francisco’s Castro District, Shehadeh has grown the chain to almost 100 locations in the West. The Brentwood spot adds to its significant presence around the Bay, with roughly 20 locations plus a new one in San Leandro that (according to its website) is “coming soon.”

Details: Open 10 a.m.-9 p.m. at 5411 Lone Tree Way #120, Brentwood; ikessandwich.com
