Chip Off The Block Deli on South Rainbow has been introduced adjacent to the new location for The Butcher Block (Fresh Meats and Seafood) store previously located three blocks north on South Rainbow.
The deli has a large selection of sandwich meats, cheeses, salads and side dishes. Also an eat in area for enjoying hot or cold sandwiches. Cold soft beverages in cans are also available.
Prior to purchasing our meats and seafood next door we decided on some lunch. The Big Hot Dog and a Pulled Pork Sandwich. The Big Dog comes with onions, mustard and a pile of chile and includes french fries. The hot dog is all beef. The french fries are a cut that I have not seen before, shaped like the letter U. Very good fries, not greasy.
The Pulled Pork Sandwich is piled high with nicely smoked meat and topped with Cole Slaw. This is Memphis style, just the way I make it at home. The sandwich comes with french fries but I substituted for a side of beans. The beans had a mild flavor and and mixed in was some pieces of pork.
We will be planning our trips to the butcher shop to facilitate having a sit down lunch at The Chip Off The Block Deli.
Congratulations to Ron and Jeannette on the opening of their new and expanded stores on South Rainbow.
