Celebrity chef Tom Colicchio is hoping to cast a spell on Denver residents with his NYC-based sandwich concept, Wichcraft, opening Tuesday for a limited-time only thanks to a collaboration with Nextbite, a provider of virtual restaurants and off-premises technology solutions.

"Wichcraft by Tom Colicchio sandwiches are outrageously popular in the New York City area, and through Nextbite we can help bring these delicious sandwiches to consumers in places like Denver and beyond," Alex Canter, CEO and co-founder of Nextbite, said in a company press release.

Colicchio and chef Sisha Ortuzar opened the first Wichcraft in 2003 in New York City, crafting a menu using sustainable proteins, house-made condiments, balanced flavor combinations, seasonal produce and artisan bread. Their mission has been to elevate the sandwich from a humble hand-held meal to a premium experience.

Consumers may order the Wichcraft sandwiches in Denver via Uber Eats and through the Wichcraft website. As part of the Denver Wichcraft Pop-Up, Nextbite will donate $5 for every order to the Food Bank of the Rockies. Every $5 donated helps supply 20 meals to the community.

"We are excited to bring our signature Wichcraft sandwiches to Denver through our partnership with Nextbite, a leader in innovative and quality virtual restaurant concepts," Colicchio said in the release.

In addition to Wichcraft by Tom Colicchio sandwiches, Nextbite's portfolio of delivery-only menu items includes George Lopez Tacos, along with other menus, from the best-selling Miss Mazy's Amazin' Chicken to Grilled Cheese Society.
