Zingerman's Deli: Is a $15 Sandwich Worth the Price?

Click on a label to read posts from that part of the world.

I live about an hour away from Ann Arbor, so I'm very familiar with Zingerman's. We most often shop online or pick up a few Zingerman's goodies from their booth in Detroit's Eastern Market.
While we've shopped at the gourmet market there, the price of the sandwiches means we've never really eaten at the deli there. If you're going to drop $20 to eat at Zingerman's, the better bet in my mind is to head on out to their Roadhouse restaurant on Jackson and enjoy their mac'n'cheese with a cold beer, or see what they're grilling out on the patio in the summer (we had a mixed dinner of pulled pork and pulled goat one afternoon there). Oh, and the pimento cheese appetizer is to die for (you can often score that at Eastern Market as well).

Nice but it's nothing like the Deli sandwhich I invented. First I start with twisted knot bread, then real rare roast beef, roasted turkey, Genoa salami, Muenster cheese, Swiss cheese, lettuce, tomato, pepperochinis, black & green olives,
house dressing, put the top on it, long picks, cut it fast. Served with tiny sweet pickles called Gherkins. Oh yeah....Alfie-

I live a little farther - in southern California ! ! ! But, I get back to Detroit - about every other year, for two weeks of fun with both my "downstater" and "UPers." I always manage to find time to get to Ann Arbor - and always make it a point to stop by Zingerman's. The place is a little slice of heaven on earth - you notice it from the moment you walk in . . . . the sights, the smells, the "sighs?" LOL ! ! ! Without exception, I always buy some of their cured meats - and pack them to take back home. The only regret about the trip - occurs when I run out of the salami, etc., after returning home. In fact, there have been times that I've eaten everything before leaving Michigan ! ! ! Great place - don't forget to take something home with you . . . . it's worth the expense. Besides, Ann Arbor is a beautiful town - complete with a beautiful campus ! ! ! Well worth the effort - and whatever you do, don't forget to try some of their specialty side dishes ! ! ! They too are delicious ! ! !
