Where it is

Particularly interesting

The sandwiches

The typical sandwich here scores 89 (the median of 3 scored plainly). 3 items are listed without a number because the menu names them without describing them.

  1. Beef Links not scored: the menu does not describe a sandwich

    toasted french roll, toasted: homemade spicy beef links in pork casing (house-made); lettuce; tomato; mayonnaise; mustard.

    In italics: what the name implies and the menu does not list (the deli standard for a lone protein).

    Worth a look: house-made: Hot Link (spicy smoked sausage).

  2. Brisket 89 outstanding (much of this build is inferred)

    toasted french roll, toasted: bbq brisket; lettuce; tomato; mayonnaise; mustard.

    In italics: what the name implies and the menu does not list (the deli standard for a lone protein).

  3. Chicken not scored: the menu does not describe a sandwich

  4. Pulled Pork 89 outstanding (much of this build is inferred)

    toasted french roll, toasted: pulled pork; lettuce; tomato; mayonnaise; mustard.

    In italics: what the name implies and the menu does not list (the deli standard for a lone protein).

  5. Tri-Tip 89 outstanding (much of this build is inferred)

    toasted french roll, toasted: bbq tri-tip; lettuce; tomato; mayonnaise; mustard.

    In italics: what the name implies and the menu does not list (the deli standard for a lone protein).
