When I heard they stocked Boar's Head meats over at the Wells Edge, I was shocked. When I walked in…read moreand discovered it was actually there, I was giddy. When I saw the sandwich the owner (and deli man) Jason made me, I wanted to kiss him on the mouth.
And I may have if it wasn't for this whole pandemic thing. (My wife would've been fine with it, she knows how important sandwiches are to me.)
If you don't know, the Boar's Head brand is just quality product for your cold cuts. Turkey, ham, salami, pepperoni...it's all good. And not only does Jason have the meats (just missing the cracked pepper turkey as far as I'm concerned), he's also got an actual Boar's Head on the wall. Because that's how it's done, people.
I had despaired of getting any real deli up here, but Jason knows his biz. I asked if he could make an Italian combo, and he said he could make whatever I want. After seeing this beauty of a sandwich...thinly sliced meats piled high, properly garnished and assembled...I'm a believer. After tasting it, I think I'm gonna be a regular.
I'm coming back soon to find out if he can make a real bacon egg and cheese, in which case I'm not sure if I ever need to go back to Brooklyn (although I really would like to someday).
Oh, and it's not just a sandwich spot. They've got tons of quick items that'll keep you from having to run over to a larger store in Speculator or Northville: beer, soda, cheese, eggs, bacon, butter, chips, dips, ice cream, pickles, charcoal, all kinds of condiments...this convenience store is gonna be very convenient for me.
