Figgie’s Deli & Market

Hannah McClellan, owner and the head sandwich mastermind behind Figgie’s Deli & Market, saw a need for a casual sandwich spot in Teton Valley and went for it.

Two years later, her cozy and welcoming deli is the place to grab a quick bite or meet for lunch. Delicious, inventive sandwiches and salads, plus seasonal soups, homemade chips with their secret seasoning, and freshly baked cookies are always on the menu.

“Figgie’s filled a niche in the valley,” Hannah says. “It’s as simple as that. We needed a sandwich shop, and I thought, ‘I can do that.’” Armed with two decades of experience as a baker and pastry chef, Hannah says she has also always enjoyed savory cooking.

Inside, the sandwich shop is part market, part restaurant, with an ever-changing array of goods in their retail space and deli case. Candied jalapeños, gourmet candy, olive oils, bags of Figgie’s famous homemade chips, grab-and-go salads, and containers of their signature tuna salad and chicken salad are always at the ready—along with so much more.

The signature menu is displayed behind the counter-service style register, alongside a butcher paper menu with specials and a display of mouth-watering cookies that invite a sweet addition to each order. Hannah and team bake up the toffee chocolate chip and sugar cookies (Hannah’s grandmother’s recipe) daily, in addition to rotating cookie varieties.

But the star of Figgie’s (besides the portrait of Figgie, Hannah’s beloved rescue pup and the namesake of the restaurant, that hangs opposite the register) is no doubt the sandwiches. Each sandwich is a not only delicious, but hearty, with all the components that Hannah loves in a savory meal.

“I love to be super creative and I draw inspiration from everyday things my husband and I eat,” she says. A meal of Indian food might lead to a curry chicken salad or new chutney she concocts. But no matter what, each sandwich has all the components Hannah deems vital to that perfect bite.

“When I build a sandwich, I like to get the perfect combination of each component: that crunch, freshness, and richness,” she says.

The result? Favorites like the Stallion, the Figgie’s take on a classic Italian sub, packed with pepperoni, salami, ham, pickled red onion, peperoncini, provolone, housemade Italian vinaigrette, and all the fix’ns on 460 Ciabatta. Hannah’s go-to is the Brie Beast, a toasted sandwich with brie, roast beef, caramelized onions, sun-dried tomato aioli, and arugula. And there are meatless options, as well, like the Faux Bear with a vegan tofu bacon made in-house and vegan smoked pepper aioli. Each sandwich comes with a bag of perfectly seasoned chips.

“I am a chip addict,” Hannah says. “So, when we started doing this, it was like, ‘How can we have literally the best chip people crave?’ I am a salty girl, so I had to do that.” And crave, they do. The chips are so popular, they are available a la carte in share-size bags.
