After taking a wrong turn somewhere while heading back from the Tree Farm, I found that the fastest route home would involve a trip up 8 Mile. Just before reaching Telegraph I was surprised to pass a Bread Basket Deli, and it was open! I’ve wanted some Sy Ginsberg Corned Beef, one of Detroit’s finest products, for a while now so I very quickly doubled back and ordered a corned beef and swiss on rye and some cream soda.
What I received is exactly what you see above, a giant and wonderful tasting corned beef sandwich with both old and new pickles. I’m currently eating it, but with a glass of Arcadia’s Angler’s Ale instead of the Dr. Brown’s Cream Soda. I’m a bit disappointed because the Dr. Brown’s now contains high-fructose corn syrup. I was not aware of this earlier, otherwise I wouldn’t have purchased it. Oh well; the sandwich is outstanding. This is the kind of food that makes me want to utter profanities while eating because it’s just simply that good.
If you’re interested, here is a photo of the outside of the deli, along with my bike on the car.
I hear ya. I occasionally get the corned beef sandwich with a dab of mustard from Al’s Famous Deli at 14 and Woodward, itself a Bread Basket deli. They make some of the best sandwiches you can get in the area.
The Bread Basket rules. Sandwiches are big enough, I always think I should get 2 meals out them, but they are so tasty I always end up eating the whole thing. Only comparable sandwich I’ve found is from Zingerman’s in Ann Arbor, though Steve’s Deli on Telegraph just south of Maple is also not too shabby.
