After what seemed like a quick build-out, Mauricio Papapietro’s Brick & Tin sandwich shop is now open in downtown Birmingham. (Construction Photos.) The restaurant’s stunning interior, with its polished cement floor, original brick walls and tin tile ceiling, provides an excellent backdrop for Mauricio’s delicious menu. In a few words, freshly baked bread is revelatory and the items we tried were spot-on. Build in extra time if you’re planning to go for a business lunch because at the end of their first week, the order and delivery processes were still quite slow. Let me tell you these sandwiches (and deviled eggs) are worth the wait.
