With all this, something should be said for the captain of the store, Frank Tusa. He has kept it steady, and high, and yummy.

Central used to be great, but they’ve cut back on the fillings so much over the years they’re not so great any more. Try Serio’s Deli right off Canal St. for a wonderful muffuletta.

The picture on the riverwalk brings back distant, and more recent memories…we went to JazzFest this year.

For the record, muffulettas are great for breakfast (at 10:30 a.m.), and go REALLY well with a couple of Bloody Marys from the bar at Tujague’s just down the street.

I cannot get enough of the olive salad in there — that is what makes the sandwich for me! I’m so thankful I still have one relative in Greater NO. A real muffelletta in a must on every visit. Northeast Ohio never heard of them and my homemade attempts only make me long for the real thing even more.
