I was walking past Deli-Licious Sandwiches a few nights ago and noticed that they had taken down the menu board. The next day, the sign outside said ‘Pig Tale BBQ; Grand Opening’. Alas, the Ave’s fast turnover rate strikes again. Or so I thought. I went in today to try the new arrival, and found the same couple running the place. The board was back up, but now showed a meatier, more streamlined menu. Some of the old subs are gone(including the trusty avocado), replaced by various BBQey sandwiches. At the owners’ recommendation, I tried the updated Combo. The same good, fresh bread, cold cuts, crisp vegetables and so on, but also something new: pepper bacon, the kind used at Mr Lu’s next door. Still a notch or two above the Ave’s other sandwich shops. I also tried the BBQ pork sandwich. It was like an upgraded banh mi – which makes sense, given that this place used to be a Vietnamese sandwich shop in its previous incarnation. Well worth a try.
