It was a tasty Sunday chicken dinner.

It's been a few years since I've had a hot salami sandwich from Gioia's Deli in St Louis
I used to eat them often, in my working days, if a job put us anywhere near the place at lunch.
It wasn't until Bizarre Foods America shot an episode in StL and the dude went to the deli
that I found out the hot salami is made from cured pig heads, aka head cheese.
I've never eaten the normal stuff, it is much more appetizing to me ground up this way.

Their food truck was only a few miles away yesterday, so I went for a fix.

It is not seasoned hot, but served hot temperature wise.
Provel cheese and spicy brown mustard sets if off.

I need to get up to the deli soon and buy a log of this stuff!

Thanks for the look see!
 
In the same thread healthy tasty crusty thighs and red hot salami ????? I'm really sorry but for me hot salami for ever!
Maybe color of the track is the reason Enrico:confused:

Gioia's food truck stuff looks very tempting, but b / s chicken thighs from you are my favorite Bob;)
 
Fantastic looking chicken and taters!!!

That salami sandwich looks really good too, but I'll pass. If you didn't tell me what it was made out of I would have been fine though.
 
the thighs look AWESOME Bob! Gotta whip up more Wicker and try that!
The sandwich you got from the truck looks so much better than the sandwich on the truck...
 
Both the chicken and potatoes look perfect. Thanks for the info on Gioia's, I'll try to remember to try it if I'm ever in St. Louis.
