FRANK & SALS SALUMERIA 1/7/14 Brooklyn, New York

So, Its a Freezing day in New York and I barely made it the 400 or so feet to the corner wherein Frank & Sal's lie. I have had a Roast Beef Hero on my mind for days, maybe weeks. Order my Hero and as I am waiting there are all kinds of Delicious things on display. Sharp Provolone (cubed), Homeade Stromboli's and many Roll's (Chicken, Broccoli, Sausage) of different variation, Potato Croquettes, Mini Rice Balls, Grilled Chicken, Broccoli Rabe, Orrechetti with Broccoli Rabe and Sausage, a Rice something, Fresh Mozzarella and of course sliced Hard Sausage to go. What caught my attention was the pints on display of Chicken Soup but WHY ?. 

The Homeade Chicken Soup is right there on display in Pint containers to go and at a paltry and reasonable $2.50 but that was not it, what it was was the stringy substance at the bottom, surely not Noodles and if they were it would be Chicken Noodle Soup, maybe some kind of Veggie, but what ?.

I returned home, had half of the Delicious Hero and then took an uncalled for nap. Upon awakening I heated the Chicken Soup and to my surprise the "stringy substance" was the Chicken that fell off the Bone whilst making the Broth. I could tell immediately that this was home made, so much so that only with great trepidation did I add some (Lots of) Grated Cheese to the Soup and which is the Italian way. 

As The World Turns So The Cheese Submerges and it submerges very quickly, I could not snap a proper pic of the "floating Cheese". This Soup was Dynamite.

What I came for and what was delivered. (1) Roast Beef, American Cheese Hero with Lettuce, Tomatoes, Mayo and Oil & Vinegar ($7.69), I think they forgot the Mayo but totally cool, I have some here. I had this in 2 servings and Frank & Sal's makes a really Great Hero.

I NEED the Number 1 Specialty Sandwich. Its Prosciutto, Mortadella, Hot Cappicolla, Salami, Mozzarella, Roasted Peppers with Oil and Vinegar ($8.00)

12/23/15 - Chicken Parmigiana Stuffed Mushrooms To Go.

FRANK & SALS HEROES & SALADS - Brooklyn, New York.

Blurry pic but this was the Heroic Roast Beef with Yellow American Cheese Hero made from one of the Culinary artists at Frank & Sals Deli (one of the last remaining bastions of CORRECT FOOD). Tomato, Lettuce and Mayo grace this Sandwich.

Whether Made On-Site or Off-site, This Is The Perfect Potato Salad, So as Not to repeat myself ALL of their Salads are Perfect, I am a Picky Potato Salad Eater, This is not Underdone nor Overdone. Sheer Perfection !!!.

Delicious Coleslaw, Not Grinded Too Teeny Nor Too Big, Another Winner from Frank & Sal's.

The Foccacia and Lard Bread Counter. Hesitant to take the pic but glad I Did.

Chicken Francaise or Lemon Chicken.

Don't Matter, This Is IT.

This is The Place.
This is also on the corner from where I Live.
This is amongst the last vestiges of the Pork Store on 18th avenue.
This is Italian Food Shopping.
This could give you Agita if you dont pace yourself.

Unbelievable that it took this Long for Frank & Sal's Meat Market & Salumeria for a mention!!!!!!

also, we wanted to keep it secret.

The Lard Bread while containing no Lard is still Absolutely Delicious, more akin to a Prosciutto Bread.

I purchased a pound of Sirloin to make some Korean Bulgogi and watched in amazement as the Artisan Butcher trimmed Steaks and cut them to order, what once was a slab of meat became an artistic statement. I got my Sirloin as is and sliced it at home but the man at the butcher block knew exactly what he was doing.

I never feel right taking photo's inside of Frank & Sal's like they are going to take me out back for being rude but every now and then I have to sneak one with the iPhone. This is the far right of the Deli counter which was topped with Fresh Mozzarella both plain and smoked and some Fresh Italian cheese (Provolone ?) on this day.

An Easter Favorite, The Pizza Rustica.
