The sandwiches were a bit salty, but hefty portion. I recommend the tri tip with bbq sauce on Dutch crunch. As for the meats- the wine and spice marinated skirt steak is so good, well balanced seasoning. One fellow customer warned me of the geysers of cheese in some of the cheese stuffed sausages, and he wasn't kidding. The jalapeño cheddar sausages weren't too spicy, great for kids. Definitely worth stopping by if you're in the area!

The House marinade of the skirt steak is probably the most popular, but they have a few other flavors. This time I got the hanging tenders in the House marinade. I will report back after cooking. I also usually get a couple of sausages like the smoked cheesy Bavarian, hot pepper Jack, and a chicken Italian w/mozzarella. Yeah it's obvious I like the cheesy ones. You can't really go wrong with any of the meats. I haven't tried a deli sandwich there yet but they gotta be good. Jerky too. Top place to go get yourself a treat for BBQ gatherings.

However I have a suggestion - because the cost of the tri tip is misleading and I paid almost $20 for marinade!: Try to bulk marinade your tri tip and then sell it at its real price -- OR be more transparent about the actual size and cost of the tri tip. Today I bought a tri tip -- @ $15/lb. I thought I was getting a 3.5 pound tri tip @ $51.50. However, when I weighed it at home, the tri tip it was only 2.3 pounds. The marinade was 18 ounces!... so paid approximately $17 - a third of my cost - for something I couldn't use. The TRUE cost of the tri tip was approx. $25 a pound. So I paid almost $20 for marinade which you can't really use... I have never had this issue before -- with such a copious amount of liquid.

Starting with an arresting blow-up of Italian movie star Monica Vitti behind the checkout, it's a visually pleasing emporium because it's not overcrowded with idiosyncratic products. The wine collection is particularly interesting with labels unknown to me. I've been tempted by the delectables in the Grab & Go section, but I've demurred for the sake of discretion. In fact, having almost no knowledge of any of these products, I only recently bought something here because I want to support them. I got a box of Rooibos tea and a jar of Hawaiian masala (Photo 10). I look forward to buying more in the future, though one thought I had was that this store would benefit from samples. On a previous visit, there was a bakery pop-up in front (Photo 8), and I think more of that activity could encourage more in-store traffic. It'll be interesting to see how this business evolves.
