A craving hit me....one I love but don't indulge in often...Egg Salad sandwich. I am probably one of very few people who will order it when I see it on a menu. Having only been to the Downtown Deli once before, I did recall them having one on the menu.
So doooown the 8 floors of stairs I go ( I have to earn the egg salad).
As I walk in (just before 2pm) it was relatively empty. I stopped and stared at the menu. One of the guys working there highly recommended the pastrami, even giving me a sample over the counter. Now I was torn....until I saw my answer. The best of both worlds...the Vic's Madness! Egg salad AND Pastrami.....I chose the marble rye as my base. First an egg salad layer topped with another piece of marble rye then a generous stack of pastrami a couple slices of Swiss cheese and topped with another slice of rye.
Never enough mustard, I added extra deli mustard to both layers of the sandwich. Choosing the french fries in a rush, I wish I had gone for the potato salad or the fruit cup. Don't get me wrong the fries are very good, extra crispy and seasoned just wish now I had taken that option. At $9ish without a drink it can seem a little pricey relative to Subway (which is just another block or so up the street), I can assure you that this is MUCH better!!
Now I have "half" a sandwich (technically a whole) left for later....
