A simple question, a creative idea, and an ingenious plan: The Breakfast Sandwich Guys, a popular father-son food review page, has taken Western Loudoun County by storm over the past year. The Breakfast Sandwich Guys, also known as Loudoun Sandwich, have created a wholesome and inventive way to promote and review local Loudoun County restaurants, all stemming from a desire to go to church.
Loudoun Sandwich derives its origins from a simple question on a calm Sunday in 2021. Sophomore Grant Smith, the younger Breakfast Sandwich founder, explained how their brand came about. “I wanted to start going to church more, and I asked my dad one Sunday if he would take me. At first it was just us because none of my siblings really wanted to go, and after church we would just go and get a breakfast sandwich at the local McDonald’s. It was after a few visits and one too many Bacon, Egg and Cheese Sandwiches that I was like, ‘we should make this a thing and go to different places and rank them,’” explained Smith.
Loudoun Sandwich hit the ground running, and in June of the past year, the brand became official with the creation of their Instagram review page. Since then, the Breakfast Sandwich Guys have created a regular schedule of posting for the past year-and-a-half and amassed well over 600 followers and admirers during that time.
Loudoun Sandwich has no plan of slowing down. Smith remarked, “We’ve been getting food once a week for over a year, every Sunday. We are still doing it, and we are still going strong.” Their consistency has been aided further by ideas for their potential expansion and future. “We’ve had a couple of ideas like starting a food review app. Dave Portnoy [owner of Barstool Sports] has an app where he ranks pizza places around the country. We’re also still trying to think of merch and other things of that nature to branch out,” stated Smith.
The Breakfast Sandwich Guys have developed an ingenious way to enjoy their Sunday morning breakfasts, all while documenting their travels and keeping their fans updated on the best restaurants in Loudoun. Their current top three include the Purcellville Pub, Bakers Crust, and More Better.
