Kendramama: Ox Puts All Delis To Shame

Aptly named, because the Ox is unique in that they serve a sandwich in a tubular hollowed-out loaf of bread… it almost looks like it’s been baked in some sort of large can- you can see the ridges and the seam along the base and everything.
Once they hollow out the loaf, they stuff the tube with whatever fixin’s you desire, then serve it with a small tub of sauce/dressing on the side, to trickle on bite by bite. They will, upon request, prepare it with condiments inside with the meat and veggies, but they recommend putting it on yourself, as the loaf may get soggy otherwise. And part of the greatness of their idea is how well-contained the sandwich stays while eating it- no drips, no junk oozing out the side, just a handy cylinder of bread, meat, cheese and veggies that, together, give one’s mouth an experience bordering on carnal. And I’ve watched the other customer’s faces on the few occasions we’ve dined in rather than getting it to go- and from the “oohs” “aahhs” and rapturous half-lidded expressions of ecstasy, I think we’re not the only one being transported to oral heaven/ Kendramama.

Question: Any other deli reviews out there?
