The Sentinel is proud to serve up news on Richmond's unique and interesting dining options. If you own a restaurant or other food establishment, and would like to be featured, feel free to contact us at newsroom@richmondsentinel.ca
How long have you been in business, and what is your restaurant’s history?
I’ve been in the business for 16 months now—we are a franchise.
(Editor's note: Big Star Sandwich Co. opened its first store in New Westminster in 2013 and now has seven locations across the Lower Mainland. The founder, a longtime tradesman, had been dissatisfied with the sandwiches he'd had over the years. Big Star stores pride themselves on high quality meats and guarantee heartiness. Sandwiches are served on fresh Filone bread, which Big Star describes as a ciabatta-baguette cross. The Richmond location opened in late 2018.)
What’s special or unique about your restaurant?
We make our meats in house and many of our sandwiches are based around roast beef and pulled turkey. We roast the beef overnight for 13 hours (slow cook at 350˚F), and our turkey breast has been cooked for seven hours and pulled by hand.
What’s your specialty or best-selling item?
The most popular and best-selling sandwich is No. 4 on our menu: roast beef with mayonnaise, deli mustard, bacon, cheddar cheese, tomato, lettuce and hickory sticks.
Do you have any new menu items?
Yes we do—we have a couple of new vegetarian sandwiches and a couple of new turkey sandwiches.
What’s your favourite item on the menu?
My favourites are No. 18 (turkey, sriracha mayo, cranberry sauce, bacon, tomato and lettuce) and No. 27 (roast beef, sriracha mayo, garlic aioli, provolone cheese, tomato, lettuce, fresh onions and crispy onions).
Stevo Bursac is the owner of Big Star Sandwich Richmond, located at 100-1331 Coppersmith Way.
