From Local Gem to Family Legacy
Johnny and Susannah bought D'Best Sandwich Shop in October of 2007. The restaurant had already been a popular local spot for 4 years so they didn't need to change much. Johnny being Greek improved the Greek salad adding real Kalamata olives and they added a few specialty subs like the eggplant, but the cheesesteaks, pulled turkey and home-roasted beef stayed the same.
Family Roots, Lunchtime Dreams
Johnny had been in restaurants since he a was a kid and Susannah had worked as a concierge at The Breakers and as an architectural drafter. After the children came along they quickly realized that evening shifts were going to take away family time once school started, so when a close friend suggested buying a restaurant together a lunchtime venue was sought.
In Loving Memory: Teddy Viteri, Our Co-Founder
Our Dbest Sandwich Shop family profoundly misses our co-founder, Teddy Viteri, who opened our doors with Jonny. Teddy brought so much joy, dedication, and a unique touch to every aspect of our shop. Though he passed away a couple of years ago, his warmth, passion, and the love he had for our food and our customers are still deeply felt. We continue his legacy, striving to make him proud with every sandwich crafted. Teddy will forever be in our hearts and an integral part of the Dbest story.
Still Serving the Favorites
Johnny and his amazing team are here to feed our very loyal, and hungry customers! People don't just come from local offices and homes to D'Best Sandwich Shop, but will travel from Jupiter, Wellington and Fort Lauderdale for their favorite subs.
Food That Spreads Love
Susannah was surprised after she wished a customer a good afternoon and he said he was taking his cheesesteak to eat by his father's graveside because when his dad was alive it was something they used to do together; get cheesesteaks from D'Best and eat together! One day a new dad came directly from the hospital where his wife had just given birth; she'd finally been given permission to eat and all she wanted was one our subs! We hope the baby is doing well and grown enough to enjoy our food!
