Open Brings Killer Sandwiches to American Bonded in RiNo Denver hospitality pro Jake Riederer tapped culinary royalty for recipes and is giving a dollar from every sale to Project Angel Heart.Denise Mickelsen •   March 5, 2021 Jake Riederer certainly doesn’t think of Open that way, his new sandwich shop located in the kitchen at American Bonded on Larimer Street in RiNo. “It’s a multi-use space, not a ghost kitchen” he says, “where there’s a baker and bar food and a focus on delivery.

Is an open-faced sandwich more than just a regular sandwich missing a piece of bread? Is it more than fancy toast? Jake Riederer thinks so, and he also thinks that sandwiches — open-faced or not — can be a good, and tasty, way to fund food-based nonprofit organizations.

"After much consideration, we have made the decision to temporarily close both Beast + Bottle and Coperta," Paul Reilly wrote in an email announcing the move.

And while 2020 made gathering together difficult, restaurants are still here for us, whether we're able to eat their food inside, on a patio or in our own homes. Since eateries are doing everything they can to keep open and keep serving the dining community, we decided to move ahead with our annual Eat Here list of the 100 restaurants we can't live without – and hope we never have to. Our list recognizes that greatness continues when and where we least expect it, and als...
