Between the double-baked rye bread, massive layers of cold cuts, slather of mustard, and sometimes even cheese - if the deli is not kosher - these sandwiches are intricately engineered to give you the best bite every time. For example, to request white bread in lieu of rye, mayo in lieu of mustard, or any other similar customizations would be a downright shanda (shame).

Think fragrant spice cakes, all things citrus, buttery, and bright - or deep, melty chocolate on the frostiest nights.
