Ask the Experts
New to the deli counter? We asked experienced,
insightful deli-goers for advice on what they love
about the deli.
The First Slice Is on the House
“I begin by scanning the case to see what meat and cheese options are available. I always ask to see the first slice to make sure the thickness is to my liking, and it’s normally perfectly fine to try a sample.”
Ashley Boyd, food blogger and recipe developer who creates and shares Southern-inspired recipes.
More Flavor. Less Waste.
“The freshness that comes with cut-to-order makes a huge difference. Ordering deli meats at the counter can reduce plastic waste in three ways: you can order a higher weight per order than what comes prepackaged, you can ask for butcher paper instead of plastic bags, and you can even bring your own containers!”
Candice Walker, an Iranian-Jewish food content creator specializing in recipes that blend traditional Jewish and Persian flavors and ingredients.
