Chef Jason Schofield has been in the restaurant industry for over 20 years learning how to create some unique and inspiring menu items. Along the way, he has also become a restaurateur founding Schofield Restaurant Group LLC. He is in the process of bringing Maddey's Craft & Cru to Downtown Orlando. If you would like to see more on some of the food concepts for Maddey’s, you can click here.

In the interim, Chef Jason decided to make a pit stop and open up a boutique sandwich shop in the Ivanhoe District a/k/a The Ivanhood, on N. Orange Ave., in the old Alpine Coffee shop. This N That Eats is the name of his latest creation with a menu that features global sandwiches, cured meats and cheeses, as well as coffee made in the traditional sense of the region.

The menu here consist of:

Multiple organic salads such as kale salad, arugula salad and curried chicken salad. Sandwiches that are inspired from all around the world, like the Vietnamese Bánh mi, Cuban, Sanger and the Torta, all prepared in a unique style with a gourmet twist. Sides that include Shepherds bulgar, Hummus and Cucumber Avocado. Staying true to the global influence of of the love for food, an additional perk of This N That Eats, is the coffee and tea selections influenced from across the world.

The Cheese Dream is an outstanding interpretation of a grilled cheese that features: Vermont Cheddar, smoked tomato jam on rustic bread. You can also add bacon or pork confit for a minimal up-charge.

For a mouth watering sandwich I would recommend the Torta with Pork Confit, queso fresco, re-fried beans, avocado, Mexican creme, tomato and shredded lettuce on Semita roll.

Although there is a set menu, don’t be surprised if Chef Jason offers up specialty items from time to time like this Sous Vide Short Rib sandwich on a ciabatta roll. Sous Vide if you are not familiar, is a method of cooking in which food is sealed in airtight plastic bags then placed in a water bath or in a temperature-controlled steam environment for longer than normal cooking times which produce perfect temperatures and juiciness for meats.

During my visit I sampled both the Espresso and this delicious Cafe con Leche. I consider myself as an aficionado of all things Cuban coffee and both of these drinks were outstanding!

If you happen to be or heading in the direction of The Ivanhood or just looking for some seriously good eats, you should definitely stop by and hang out in this cozy neighborhood spot.

This N That Eats is open from Monday - Thursday, 8am - 6pm, Friday & Saturday 8am - Midnight and Closed Sunday.
