Last week I was walking to my office cafeteria when I stumbled across a stack of menus for a place called Jason's Deli. After studying the menu the rest of the afternoon, my co-worker and I decided we needed to check it out at some point. That all changed the next day when the Junkies (http://www.junkiesradio.com/main.shtml) talked about how good it was on their radio show. As a result, we decided to venture down good ole Route 7 to see what all the buzz was about.
Upon entering the large establishment, I was overwhelmed by the number of options on the menu. However, the young lady working the cash register really helped my friends and I work through the menu. For example, Jason's Deli offers a variety of muffalettas (ham, salami or turkey) which can be ordered as a quarter muff, half-muff and if you're really hungry the 9" Whole Muff. They showed us the quarter muff which was enormous. If I had the muff then I would have fallen asleep when I got back to the office so I had to pass.
Jason's also offers a wide variety of soups including chili and gumbo. I asked the cashier what her favorite soup was and she said "tomato basil" and I immediately asked her what her second favorite soup was. I forgot her answer but it wasn't something that I liked so I just order the Fire Roasted tortilla soup. She then told me that was her sister's favorite soup and we both laughed. The soup was pretty tasty. It had a little heat but not too much. Ideally, they would have had Frank's Red Hot Sauce or Texas Pete that I could add to my soup for the extra kick. I later saw a girl walking around with a bottle of hot sauce and I just looked at her and said "the fire roasted tortilla?" She responded with a "you know it!"
Now that I had my soup ordered, I have to review the rest of the menu which included salads, po'boys, pasta, sandwiches, potatoes, and paninis/wrapinis. I decided to get the chicken club wrapini. It was grilled to perfection. There was a ton of moist grilled chicken in between the warm tortilla. The wrapini came with ranch as opposed to mayo which was a refreshing touch. For the record, mayo grosses me out (not as much as ketchup though) but I absolutely love ranch dressing (dipping pizza crust in ranch is a favorite of mine).
My meal came with a pickle and ruffled potato chips. My friends also ordered wrapinis. They also liked their sandwiches and would definitely order them again. After a few hours, my friend emailed me to let me know that he was feeling "gassy" which was a shame. I am pretty sure he fully recovered.
Lastly, I wanted to talk about the best part of my experience. They have FREE low fat ice cream!!! It was fantastic. I got the chocolate/vanilla twist and I actually went up for seconds. So if you ever find yourself near Tyson's corner and need a good lunch spot, I recommend checking out Jason's Deli. http://www.jasonsdeli.com/
