Support the independent voice of Denver and help keep the future of Westword free.
Strange Grounds, the funky coffeehouse known for its open-mike night, is now closed on South Broadway. But there's a sign on the door promising the arrival of Samiches in 2016. The sign also notes that the new eatery will serve gourmet sandwiches, pastas, salads, soups and homemade desserts.
More pressing is whether or not this is the correct spelling of "samiches" — as most scholarly sources prefer "sammiches."
Keep Westword Free... Since we started Westword, it has been defined as the free, independent voice of Denver, and we would like to keep it that way. Offering our readers free access to incisive coverage of local news, food and culture. Producing stories on everything from political scandals to the hottest new bands, with gutsy reporting, stylish writing, and staffers who've won everything from the Society of Professional Journalists' Sigma Delta Chi feature-writing award to the Casey Medal for Meritorious Journalism. But with local journalism's existence under siege and advertising revenue setbacks having a larger impact, it is important now more than ever for us to rally support behind funding our local journalism. You can help by participating in our "I Support" membership program, allowing us to keep covering Denver with no paywalls.
