Originally invented by architects looking for lunchtime inspiration, sandwiches found their true place in the world after bricks and mortar replaced peanut butter and jelly as standard construction materials.

The flavorsmiths at Rudi’s Deli layer handfuls of meaty and meatless fillings between slices of homemade bread, with vegetarian and gluten-free sandwiches available as well. Slabs of honey-wheat bread encase the deli’s signature turkey avocado melt, which melts a blanket of swiss cheese atop roasted turkey breast, fresh avocado, and sprouts. The Rippin’ roast beef panini slathers its roasted red peppers and roast beef with a chipotle aioli that has enough kick to disintegrate a soccer ball. The Holiday on a Bun sandwich smothers roasted turkey in a festive trio of cranberry sauce, cream cheese, and stuffing. Eschewing meats entirely, the baked antipesto fills french bread with artichoke hearts, sundried tomato pesto, and bonfire-smoked mozzarella.

Those who opt to chow down on a sandwich platter will receive an assortment of eight sandwiches or wraps. With carryout available as well as dine-in service, Rudi’s Deli allows guests to enjoy their meal at home or from the comfort of their local library.
