Salem Lowe first opened in 1912, and for the last 50 years, it had been run by David Yee and his family until they decided to shut the restaurant down last summer. The pair also own Spitfire Tacos, a taco shop with locations in Salem and Marblehead that the two launched during the pandemic. Salem Lowe’s history, and how connected customers felt to the restaurant, was a major factor in Rodgers and Harriman’s decision to revive the place, according to the report. The restaurant’s popular pepper steak sandwich is also making a return. Most importantly, the chop suey sandwich - an iconic regional food that consists of bean sprouts and pieces of chicken cooked in a thick sauce and dolloped onto a hamburger bun - will still be on the menu at the new Salem Lowe. The Salem News reports that the duo are also upgrading equipment in the kitchen and tweaking some recipes, like making the noodles in-house and cooking chicken in a pressure fryer. Notably, the restaurant will no longer be open seasonally, but rather operate year-round at the Salem Willows Park in Salem, Massachusetts. The new owners, Kathleen Rodgers and Ryan Harriman, plan to implement a few changes under their stewardship. The Salem News reports that a pair of local restaurateurs have bought the shuttered spot and plan to reopen it in April. ![]() Saturday, April 30th 9pm $5 before 11pm Chop Suey 21+.Salem Lowe, the former North Shore restaurant known as a destination for chop suey sandwiches, is reopening under new ownership. ![]() I can say with a pure and open heart that this is truly an Adrian Ryan Approved Event–and how many of THOSE are there these days?
