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.

Seafood provides endless opportunities at Urban Deli

Seafood chowder (gluten-free)

If you want to have a sense of some ocean fare, try some of the seafood items off our menu. We have a bowl of hot seafood chowder available which is great for those foggy Saint John days. It is served with a homemade buttermilk biscuit and consists of lobster, shrimp, scallops, haddock and salmon. This has become a popular choice for many of our customers especially when accompanied by a glass of white wine.

On a daily basis, we try to have a new quiche available and one of our specialties is our seafood medley. This quiche has the same ingredients as our chowder but also includes spinach and usually aged white cheddar cheese. It is served with your choice of side and topped off with a melted cheese sauce on top. Today it is available for order and these sell very fast!!

Other menu options include our sesame crusted seared tuna loin and our wild Pacific salmon burger. If you enjoy the tuna, it is also available on our romaine chiffonade salad served with wasabi vinaigrette.
