| - I've been wanting to try a sandwich from this place for a couple of weeks now when I perused their menu online. I found myself saying, "That sounds sooooo good!" after reading the description for every sandwich they offered. It has been one heckuva week at work so I opted to treat myself to a to-go order from Heidi's.
The location is in a convenient spot right off Thunderbird with plenty of ample parking in a nice shopping center. The first thing I noticed when I walked in was how clean it was and how good it smelled inside! They bake their bread fresh every single day! Not only that, but they take pride in the simple fact that they do NOT use nitrates, hormones, GMO's or antibiotics. As I've gotten older, this has become a lot more important to me as it should to most everyone. Additionally, all of the cheese they use is 100% certified organic and did I mention the fact that they bake their bread from scratch each and every day? ...oh yeah, I couldn't remember if I mentioned that or not.
So anywho... I opted for the hot salmon melt sandwich because not only did I want a hot sandwich after work today, but I love salmon. [chanting] Omega 3's! Omega 3's! Omega 3's! [end chant] So this behemoth of a sandwich comes fully loaded with a slab of peppercorn salmon, melted pepper jack cheese, avocado, lettuce, tomato, onions and their cajun sauce. All of it was wedged in between two thick cut slices of homemade sourdough bread which was grilled / toasted to perfection. The cheese sort of covered the salmon in a blanket of freshness and the veggies were crisp and fresh. The sourdough bread wasn't terribly sour, but yet, it had a discerning enough taste that distinguished itself from regular french bread. Sooooooo good! The sandwich came with a pickle slice and a bag of potato chips (but you could also opt for potato salad or cole slaw). Additionally, I paid a tiny bit extra for this gigantic brownie that was staring me eye level. It was approx. the size of a tiny house... perhaps a little larger.
My kitty attempted to eat some of my salmon so that's pretty much how I knew it was fresh. After devouring my meal, giving it two thumbs up and reminding my kitty where her kibble is, I opted to jump right on Yelp and tell all of you awesome people about this review. I would not hesitate in the slightest to recommend Heidi's Brooklyn Deli to any of my friends, family, co-workers or kitties for their phenomenal sandwiches! Sadly enough, I've never been to New York and I have absolutely no idea what an authentic New York delicatessen tastes like, but I suspect, it looks and tastes something like this. Delicious!
