Jersey Mike's Subs

When I think of a sub sandwich I think of a giant hoagie roll stuffed with a combination of cold cuts and cheese, topped with lettuce, tomatoes, thinly sliced onions, green peppers and pickles.

When I Think of a Sub, This is What I Think Of

When I think of a sub I think about the subs served at Jersey Mike's. Their subs are the classic subs that I grew up eating as a teenager in Miami before the advent of the multi-store chains that proliferate the marketplace today. Each joint had their own taste; their own specialty signature sub. Places like George's Super Sub Shop on SW 8th Street in Miami.
One of the things that makes Jersey Mike's such a great place is that their subs taste the same no matter which location you frequent. My favorite location is on Woolbright Road just east of Congress Avenue in Boynton Beach. Every time I go I know I will be getting the same great tasting sub that I always order.

Like Lenny's, Laspadas, and several other places, Jersey Mike's servers slice all the meats and cheeses right in front of you so you know it's fresh. Not pre-sliced sitting in a cooler waiting for who knows how long. They add the condiments and vegetables as you order them and I don't ever remember them making a mistake.

Jersey Mike's has the key ingredient: consistency. My favorite subs are #13 The Original Italian and #3 The American Classic with swiss cheese instead of provolone. I usually phone in the order and pick it up on my way. They also have internet ordering available!

Myron's Deli at the Isle Casino at Pompano Park Race Track

When you go to the Isle Casino at Pompano Park you become part of the "captive audience" and if you want something to eat your selection is limited to the Isle run restaurants.

Free Bowl of Pickles, etc. when you get seated

When I'm there I always enjoy a corned beef or pastrami sandwich at Myron's.

3 G's Gourmet Deli Sandwiches

When I wrote my original review of my experience at 3 G's Gourmet Deli I told about my dinner experience and was very pleased. 3 G's also does a great job with sandwiches and when my friend Steve called and asked me to accompany him for lunch I suggested we go to 3 G's.

Direct From Philly: CheeseSteaks to Die For



Grillmaster Matt makes five sandwiches at a time

 One of my bloggers was kind enough to tip me off about this place, Direct From Philly. He wrote "...a place in Deerfield Beach that is actually inside a gas station called Direct From Philly." That was enough for me to want to try this place out!

Muffaletta from Jason's Deli

When I think about a submarine sandwich I usually think about a hoagy roll filled with cold cuts, cheese, and a "run" through the garden: lettuce, tomato, onions, etc.  When I went to Jason's Deli I was introduced to a new name in sub sandwiches, the Muffaletta.

I'm no kid, and I've been around the block a time or two, but up until a couple of years ago I had never heard of, much less tasted, a Muffaletta. Jason's Deli is the only place I know of that serves them, and since an earlier posting I have fallen in love with them!

HISTORY of KOSHER DELI's AND THEIR CUISINE

by Rabbi Dennis Tobin

Email: RabbiDennisTobin@aol.com

It is worth noting the shuttering of two kosher New York landmarks:
2nd Avenue Deli, a 50-year-old institution in the East Village whose
neon sign was taken down last January; and the dairy restaurant
Ratner's, open from 1905 to 2002, which proudly served cheese blintzes
to Governor Nelson Rockefeller and Robert Kennedy. Mobsters Bugsy
Siegel and Meyer Lansky held court in the back, and Ratner's served as
the watering hole for celebrities such as Al Jolson, Walter Matthau
and Groucho Marx.

Cinema's Finest Sandwiches

From Denzel Washington's Pastrami in "Philadelphia" to Adam Sandler's Impossible Egg Sandwich in "Spanglish," sandwiches abound in the movies.

Which ones did they miss?

LaSpadas Subs

Here's a place I've been to many times, but this is my first venture to the Boca Raton location. Many years ago I was introduced to LaSpadas  on Commercial Blvd, near the beach in Fort Lauderdale. When I moved to Davie, I was thrilled that there was a Laspadas  close by. Now I live in Delray Beach....

The Dagwood: Pile it High

From Serious Eats 

Is there anything more American than the Dagwood sandwich? While Saveur's excellent sandwich issue featured a collection of sandwiches I couldn't wait to make, the Dagwood immediately jumped to the top of my list for purely patriotic reasons. Why? Well, where else could such a sandwich be created? It contains three slices of bread, four types of cold cuts, and an assortment of other things that probably just happened to be in the fridge at the time. And yet, I'd never had one before. It was time to fix that.

I mean, have you have ever actually eaten a Dagwood? I could picture it in my head, and immediately thought of the Blondie comic strip character that it was based on, but I'd never actually sunk my teeth into one. I expected it to be a total and complete disaster. Yet, against all odds, it works. Like the Chicago dog, its many different components combine to create something unique that is more than the sum of its parts. Now, I won't exactly be running out to have one next week, but I can see myself craving this once in a while.

The recipe below is for just one sandwich—but this one sandwich easily fed me and my wife, and we didn't need a single side dish. Of course, potato chips and a pickle wouldn't be out of order. Also, I wouldn't make this one for a crowd. It's rather awkward to eat, and can get a tad messy.

• 3 slices rye sandwich bread
• 2 tablespoons yellow mustard
• 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
• 4 slices deli ham
• 2 slices American cheese
• 2 leaves iceberg lettuce
• 4 slices bologna
• 4 slices salami
• 6 dill pickle chips
• 3 slices tomato
• 4 slices turkey
• 2 slices Swiss cheese
• 2 pimiento stuffed green olives

Lay the three slices of bread out on a cutting board. Smear two of them with a tablespoon each of the yellow mustard. Smear the last one with mayonnaise. Top one of the mustard smeared slices of rye bread with the ham, cheese, lettuce, and bologna. Top the second mustard smeared slice of rye bread with the salami, pickle chips, tomato slices, turkey, Swiss cheese, and the third slice of rye bread, mayonnaise side down. Stack this unit on top of the first mustard smeared slice.Skewer each green olive with a toothpick. Secure the sandwich with these.

 

 

Lunch Today At Champps Ft. Lauderdale

I stopped into Champps for lunch today. At about 2:30 pm there is no rush, no wait, sit any where you want.

Dale and I ordered almost matching French Dip Sandwiches. Except I had steak fries and he went for the waffle fries. We also both had unsweetened iced tea.

The sandwiches were brought quickly. Thinly sliced prime rib, medium rare, on a soft hoagie roll. A small cup of au jus and creamy horseradish sauce on the side. I added a little salt and pepper, covered the underside of my sub roll with the creamy horseradish sause, dunked it in  the au jus and bit into heaven.

Dale liked his, too! He asked me what was in the Creamy Horseradish Sauce and realizing that he hates mayo and doesn't like sour cream I was a little hesitant in answering after I saw him put a dollop of it on his sandwich.

Dale, here's a recipe for Creamy Horseradish Sauce from the Food Network's Alton Brown.
