Breakfast for the morning after

Deep Deli Skillet: Deli potatoes, smoked meat bits, white cheddar, two eggs topped with hollandaise sauce & served with a side of toast.

We mentioned yesterday our plans for a New Year’s Eve dinner at Urban Deli. But what about the day after — New Year’s Day — when the parties are over and 2011 is well underway?

We have it covered! Enjoy your hangover at the Deli!

On New Year’s Day, we’ll be serving breakfast, and only breakfast, from 9:00 am to 3:00 pm so when you roll out of bed to face the new year, and your taste buds start kicking up a fuss, we’ll be here for you. Drop by between 9 and 3 and enjoy a Deli breakfast with us.

It will be a Deli-icious way to start 2011.

And don’t forget, on New Year’s Eve we have a special chef and a special menu and a special 7:00pm seating. Please call Liz at the Deli to reserve — 652-3354 and she’ll take care of you.

Join us New Year’s Eve at Urban Deli

With Christmas already in the rear view mirror, it’s now the New Year that is coming up on us quickly, and that means New Year’s Eve.

This New Year’s Eve we have a special chef and a special menu and a special 7:00pm seating. Please call Liz at the Deli to reserve — 652-3354.

Our chef for the evening is Fred Decker. He’s a Maritimer who, like many of us, spent time out west. You may remember a column he had not long ago in the Telegraph-Journal called Field and Table.

You can find out more about Fred (including his fascination with food, particularly local food) at the Bounty of New Brunswick site, where Fred also has his blog.

As for what is on the menu, it begins with a variety of appetizers, including caramelized pears with brie and honey, cucumber rosettes, tapenade toasts and more … all followed by a palate cleansing chef’s choice sorbet.

This will be followed by the primary business at hand, the main choices – land and sea. These options are a pesto chicken or glazed salmon or beef wellington or our vegetarian choice, roasted vegetable strudel with roasted red pepper coulis.

For the full details on our main choices, as well as our ‘something sweet to finish’ dessert duo, have a look at our complete New Year’s Eve menu (.pdf file).

It’s a special New Year’s Eve at the Urban Deli with a special 7:00pm seating. Please call the Deli at 652-3354 and ask for Liz to reserve a seat.

We’re looking forward to a great evening and hope you can join us!

Wow! It’s here! Like you, we’ve been so busy we barely noticed it coming up on us. But it’s Christmas Eve day now and we know what tomorrow is, so we wanted to pause a moment and say a big thank you to everyone: our wonderful staff, suppliers, all the other Uptown businesses and, with a really big emphasis, our marvelous customers.

Not only have our customers kept us busy, a lot of them have given us great ideas for new things to introduce and on occasion have helped us “taste test” new items to see if they were up to their standards and ours.

It’s amazing how much they’ve helped us this year. So …

Thank you! And we hope everyone, everywhere has a Christmas to remember and a New Year that flies by because it’s so full of new people and things. And may we all be prosperous! Happy holidays!

Speaking of which, these are our hours over the holidays:

Holiday Hours:

  • Dec. 27 to 30: Regular Hours
  • Dec 31 (New Year’s Eve): Special New Year’s Eve dinner seating at 7:00pm — please call ahead (ask for Liz) and reserve.
  • Jan. 1 (New Year’s Day): Enjoy your hangover at the Deli! Breakfast only 9:00am to 3:00pm.

And we’re back to regular hours on January 2, 2011.

A meatloaf sandwich story

Urban Deli's very popular "comfort food," the much-ordered meatloaf sandwich.

Our menu consists of an array of deli sandwiches and that can make it hard for new customers to choose. After working a few shifts at Urban Deli, I noticed how many of our customers were ordering and raving about our meatloaf sandwich.

One busy summer afternoon, my parents drove from St. Andrews and visited the deli for the first time. I spoiled them with samples of our homemade ice-tea and lemonade (the lemonade is only during our summer season) and I encouraged them to order as much as possible.

My dad wanted to try our schnitzel and my mom right away asked for the meatloaf sandwich. To tell you the truth, I underestimated this deli delight. When her order arrived she made me taste a bite and with one forkful, I was hooked.

From then on I have been recommending this hearty sandwich to many of our customers. It is the comfort food to beat all comfort foods. It consists of a home-style meatloaf with an Urban Deli flare and is topped with melted aged-white cheddar cheese and sundried tomatoes. We serve it with sourdough bread that has been grilled and your choice of side.

The meatloaf sandwich guys: Carl, Ron, Craig and Doug.

Shortly after tasting the sandwich, I had a group of customers that came in for lunch during their break. They told me it was their first time and asked me for my recommendation. From that day on, they have been faithful regulars to Urban Deli … and the meatloaf sandwich as well.

Carl, Ron and Craig were in again last Friday and guess what? They ordered their usual (meatloaf with a side of deli frites) and brought a new face with them, Doug. I had to laugh because every time the guys come in they always order the same thing and they convinced Doug to do the same.

Welcome Doug! And thanks to all our Urban Deli regulars.

This gift is easy, simple and tastes good too

Just ask to have one added to your bill next time you are in for a bite to eat.

Just ask to have one added to your bill next time you are in for a bite to eat.

One of the best tasting Christmas gifts you can give or receive this season is an Urban Deli gift card. Why be stressed looking for a gift? We’re hoping we can help make it easy for you.

When you pass by the Deli, or drop in for a bite, just ask us for a gift card — you choose the amount. They make great stocking stuffers and fit quite nicely inside a card. And an Urban Deli gift card can be used at anytime (no expiration date).

The season is about family, friends and — oh, yes! — food.

Enjoy the season! That’s what it’s here for!
