I recently moved to downtown houston and Im still struggling to find a good deli on the northside.

>>17472151
I try to go to Uncle Nick's as much as I can, but Publix is just so much more convenient.

I had an amazing deli near me a few years back. Super fresh ingredient, the owner would stuff the subs like crazy to the point where he had to staple the styrofoam box shut, plus it came with a fresh made side.

The owner was super chill and always willing to listen to the customers. I was there one one of the first days it opened and I gave some feedback on the potato salad (which he asked for) and he actually updated the recipe. He had some house made tangy dressing that was amazing, it was so good, and he always got just the right amount so you could clearly taste it without it making the sub soggy.

In the end though, the location wasn't great and he went out of business. Now all thats left in the area are subways and wawas. Like if I look up the "top 10 delis in my area", 3 of them are subway, it's sad

I found a great deli that has sandwiches to eat

>>17472379
You're telling me you found both in one local?

>>17472416
Yes. It has good sandwiches.

>>17472341
Is that your gimmick? You want to be know as "Ass Cancer Anon"? Because thats how it starts.

>>17472444
checked and no, different poster, I thought we could just start calling out carcinogens of the anal variety.

>>17472151
Yeah, the deli section at the local family-owned supermarket. All the cuts of meat there are fantastic, and I love their fried chicken. My favorite part is that they don't mind making stuff to order and doing wild amounts, so if you want to ask for a gallon of extra-fried extra-spiced potato wedges, they'll just do it.

Walmart, Montgomery Wards

on a serious note, i don't get the western obsession with eating cold bread

I don't go there often but this is from mine

>>17472151
There’s a local place in my small town I frequent called Subway

>>17472151
Stein's Deli in New Orleans is fantastic. Their Ruben slaps. The owner is also pretty cool

My little hole in the wall sub place is named after the owner, Jimmy Johns, I believe is his name.
Pretty good

that's some sexy bread.

If I want a pretty good hoagie, I'll go to Wegmans. If I want something amazing, I'll go to one of the 90 other hoagie shops in a 5 mile radius of me. I know down in florida, pubelicks is your standard for "amazing hoagies", but hear in Southeast PA, we prefer to stay several cuts above.

For me? It's primantis

Sorry, the opinions of your culinary void don't matter. You're like Green Bay. If you didn't have a football team, the rest of the world wouldn't even know you existed.
>primanti bros: "hurr durr lets take the sides and put them ON the sandwich! oh yeah! now that's what I call revolutionary!"
>rest of shittsburgh: "HURRAH! THIS IS THE BEST THING EVER OMG SO ZANY HERE WE DO THINGS A LITTLE DIFFERENTLY XD XD XD"

>>17473494
SEETHING philly fag. A philly cheesesteak can be had once, and then you know what it is. The primantis format allows much more variety and creativity, it's a better sandwich from a better place.

That having been said I actually prefer North Shore Deli on E. Ohio St for a real deli experience.

>>17473500
Cheesesteaks are decent, but we have plenty of other sandwiches that obliterate your retarded pastrami and french fry sandwich. What you have is a concoction a 10 year old would make at a deli.
>"look mommy! i put my fries and slaw on the sandwich! isn't baby boy so creative!?!"

Throw some cayenne on dat ham I can't taste nuffin sheeit

what’s the secret to a good submarine at home bros? i try but it never tastes that great

>>17473603
vinaigrette, good meat, good cheese, good bread

>>17473603
Hoagie roll, some sauce, oil, or vinegar on the bread to give it moisture, and always wrap it in butcher or parchment paper like a burrito to compress everything you put in it and cut in half with a sharp knife. Doing those three things will already make it restaurant quality.

>>17473473
based primanti bro

>>17472151
el patron del lomo but i can't buy it anymore.

>>17473603
Good meat good cheese good bread
simple as

it seems like you can only find consistently good small, local delis in big cities like new york/philly. where I live, the few local "delis" there are are dirty, low quality restaurants for niggers and crackheads. I'm glad I live in florida and can get publix subs which are at least way better than just being stuck with subway garbage

>>17472163
If you’re ever on the east side Hobo’s is pretty decent

>>17472151
Its nothing fancy but Togos has always been great

>>17472151
The one near me is called quick stop or shop I can't remember or care. They are the best overall, they use pic related and generous portions at a fair price. Its a very cheap looking place too in the suburbs so they don't get over crowded with "foodie" faggots. This is in NJ where we should actually care about our subs.

>>17473293
I hope it’s as good as my little corner shop! The fresh bread smell gets me going every time and they call their sandwich makers “sandwich artists”! Can you believe that? So awesome
