25 years...

Today was the 25th anniversary of Zingermans, the deli I have described at length in previous posts! I went down to the deli for $5 reuben sandwiches, a special treat for Camie and I! Let's see...is it crowded?
Oy! maybe not so bad around the corner?...

Double Oy! Well, I was in line for some time...Fortunately, the ZingerVolk kept us pleased with many free samples, and Cappuccinos for only a $1! (I later enjoyed their awesome brownies, also only a $1!) We enjoyed 4 kinds of potato salad, a very nice turine, gingerbread, a spicy kind of cream cheese, all just for waiting.

When we got to the front of the deli what awaited us in the window? A model of the deli in gingerbread!
In the front of the model are the two Head ZingerNauts, Ari and Paul!

They look like they were done by ala Wallace and Gromet in marzipan!

I must include some of my infamous cheese porn for fans of same!

The wheels of Neal's Dairy Yard cheese were especially nice looking in their gold wrappers:
Here we have a tip o' the cap for the many who have been to/worked at the deli, like Camie! Note that 'soccer ball' patterned cake which looks like the deli floor!


When you got sandwiches today...you got a piece! Whoops I'm eatin' mine already!

You should have eaten the gingerbread and then proudly announced "I ate an entire deli". In fact I would have done. Would I have got arrested?

aww..you're trying to seduce me huh?

Dinners: Not only arrested, but subjected to hours of cultural sensitivity training. You'd come out a patchouli-scented hippie, whose avatar would be a daisy. The horror! The horror!

Cynnie: Moi? Close your eyes and think of corned beef, love...

I think I gotta hit that place if I ever get to your neck of the woods.

What a fun celebration of food! Too bad they don't give out free cake ALL the time...
