Lately I’ve been craving a really good soup-and-sandwich combo, and The General Muir might have one of my favorites in Atlanta.

My dad’s all-time craving was always a fat pastrami sandwich on rye or pumpernickel, so apparently that gene got passed down to me. 😂 Growing up, he’d take me to California-style delis like Katella Deli in Los Alamitos.

The General Muir gives me that same comfort-food feeling, just with more of a New York-style deli approach.

My wife and I both went with the soup + half sandwich:

🥣 Matzah ball soup
🥪 Corned beef Reuben with sauerkraut, Russian dressing and Swiss on grilled rye
🥒 Dill pickle — because according to my wife, bread-and-butter pickles have no place here 😂
🥔 Deli-style potato salad

And that potato salad got me thinking…

Jewish deli-style or Southern-style potato salad?

The bread might be my favorite part of TGM, though. They took the bread program seriously enough to build out their own bakery operation, and now I’m regularly grabbing a sourdough loaf to take home.

It might be my favorite sourdough in Atlanta.

Sometimes you don’t need the newest restaurant in town. You just need a great sandwich, a bowl of soup and a place that knows exactly what it does well.

Now settle this for me: deli potato salad or Southern potato salad?
