January 14 is National Hot Pastrami Day, and what better way to celebrate than biting into a hot pastrami sandwich from one of Lodi’s best kept secrets: Bon Appetit? The local deli and catering spot serves up fresh ingredients in a family-friendly atmosphere perfect for the whole family. Their hefty sandwiches come stacked with prime ingredients, including Boar’s Head meat and cheese products, as well as locally sourced produce. Customize your sandwich with one of six bread choices—French Roll, Dutch Crunch, Sourdough, a Ciabatta roll, Squaw or a Milk Roll—all from Genova Bakery in Stockton. With every item made from scratch, including spreads, soups, and salad dressings, you’ll savor the home-cooked quality.
First up, try the Reuben (#14). This classic sandwich piles hot pastrami, Swiss cheese, and cooked sauerkraut on toasted bread, topped with a homemade Dijon spread. If that doesn’t tickle your taste buds, delve into the Big Apple (#2), the eatery’s other hot pastrami offering that pairs the delectable Romanian specialty meat with pepper jack cheese, tomatoes, and Dijon spread on toasted bread.
