What Could Be Better Than Zingerman's? MORE Zingerman's

[filkertom]

The best deli on the planet has permission to build an expansion. Man oh man. They've been working to get this for awhile now, and the plan looks superb. I know the neighborhood very well (I was living one block over when the deli opened), and this will really liven things up nicely.

It's been awhile since we discussed this, so: What's your favorite deli meal? I'm fond of a huge lean corned beef sandwich with a few slices of Emmentaler (actual, Switzerland-made Swiss cheese) on a good hearty rye with a touch of honey mustard or Dijon, some thick-cut, crunchy potato chips, and (if the deli has them) some thin, crispy onion rings. Starter of chicken noodle soup optional but very much appreciated.

Lebanon bologna and smoked provolone.
(Lebanon bologna is a lot like hard salami, but it has this tangy flavor that stands up to cheeses better.)

Oooh, or a double-toasted everything bagel with lox and cream cheese and maybe some onions, with a big glass of fresh juice. Orange, apple, whatever.

Or a grilled cheese sandwich - sharp cheddar, potato bread, with tomato soup.

(Hungry now.)
