One of the most recommended deli spots I’ve been told to try was The Grinder.

Today I finally stopped by and tried the James Special footlong, loaded with ham, salami, meatball, cold pastrami, and provolone cheese.

This sandwich was messy, packed with flavor, and definitely one that requires a few napkins. The bread was soft, the flavors worked together really well, and even with so much going on, everything came together nicely.

The staff was also extremely friendly and the inside was clean and welcoming, which always adds to the experience.

Another great local deli spot added to the list. Where should I go next?
