2024 Des Moines deli face off

[Gonzo]

Is Maccabees the Jewish deli? Been meaning to give them a try

They just hit different when it comes to deli food. When we lived in Columbus we'd hit a place called Katzinger's Deli in German Village just south of downtown and their sandwiches were absolutely unreal. I'm a big egg salad fan and they had probably the best egg salad sandwich I've ever had.

While not "deli" I think Francies has some great lunch time sandwiches.

I hate you and hate this thread. All I brought for lunch today was left over tomato soup and an apple.

Think of the money you are saving

Love the Italian Beef at Taste of Italy.

Not a deli but that looks like a tasty snack.



ZOMBIE PRIMAVERA: smoked provolone patty, fresh housemade giardiniera, soppressata, prosciutto and heirloom tomato on South Union Bakery panini-pressed bun.

Am I misremembering, or did South Union used to have all the bread and dipping oil you could eat?

They have dipping oil and they offer you a little piece with your order. I think I'd remember if they had all you can eat.

This was probably 10 years ago. I swear they just had a bunch of leftover pieces of bread they put in a small buffet like thing and you could take as much as you wanted.

If I lived closer to Maccabee's I'd never know what the inside of a Hy-Vee looked like.

Yes, I remember that, it was underneath the skywalk, across from Mr. Filet. I assumed people didn't treat that as all you can eat.

Yah...who would do that...

Went to Maccabee's Deli for lunch today.

Best Pastrami in DSM it’s not even close. My god I can’t believe I haven’t made it here before. Couldn’t recommend it more.

Since it in involves bread, I thought this thread would be as good as any.

If you're ever in Madison, WI, stop by the farmers market or possibly their store and buy a loaf of Stella's Hot&Spicy Cheese Bread. It's one of the best things I've ever eaten.
