Deli/Café: Summer is here and we have all your favorites!

Stop by our deli case and discover some fresh new salads, perfect for picnics and barbecues. We carry two kinds of coleslaw, one a mayonnaise-based and the another a vinegar-based dressing. Did you know the term "coleslaw" came from the Dutch term "koolsla", meaning cabbage salad. The "kool" part is the Dutch word for cabbage and the "sla" part is a Dutch abbreviation of the word "salade". Other popular Chef's Case favorites in attendance: Backyard Potato Salad and my personal favorite, Chipotle Potato Salad. Join us on the Lunch Hot Bar on June 4th for National Cheese Day and June 25 as we cook up a true southern favorite for National Catfish Day.  Brooke will be serving special dessert on June 6th for National Applesauce Cake day (applesauce makes and excellent substitute for oil in most pastry recipes).  It's Peanut Butter Cookie Day on June 12th - join us all week as we feature our in-house made gluten free peanut butter cookie that week on sale.
