Jason’s Deli – Gluten Free Sandwhiches Review
I have had the pleasure of trying 3 different Jason's Deli sandwiches with Udi's gluten free bread. Each sandwich has been fantastic. After hearing the news, thanks to Gluten Freeville, that Jason's was going to be offering gluten free sandwiches, I made plans to eat a Reuben. Some of you may be thinking, who makes plans to eat a Ruben sandwich? Someone who hasn't been able to eat a Rueben in 3 years, that's who. That day I ate one, and it was delicious. It was everything I could have hoped for. Beautiful soft bread, lightly toasted, wrapped around a fist full of corned beef and some brown mustard. There was sauerkraut too, just enough to complete the sandwich. Oh, it was a tasty treat my friends.
While eating my Rueben, one of the servers rushed out because she forgot to warn me about cross contamination. Something I worry little about. It's going to happen, unless a place is entirely gluten free, cross contamination will be present. I thanked her for the warning and told her that didn't matter much to me, the Rueben was well worth the risk of tiny gluten particles. A few minutes after that, the manager came out to chit chat about the sandwich. Turns out his daughter is also cursed with an allergy to gluten.
So, first experience with Jason's, fantastic. Second time around I got it to go, a turkey club sandwich, I can't remember the exact name. It was another shining example of deliciousness, and again I was warned about cross contamination. Never before have I been warned by restaurant staff.
The third visit was today. I had a turkey rueben, good, but not as good as a normal rueben, but how could it be with inferior turkey instead of corned beef. The turkey isn't even corned, it's just normal thanks giving turkey. However, the turkey sits in my stomach far better than corned beef, and I do have to ride up a mountain tonight. Again, I was warned by the manager, who personally brought my sandwich out, about cross contamination. He even found me at the salad bar to let me know. And again, I didn't care.
Jason's Deli is awesome. Staff is great, food is great, and now even those of us cursed with Celiac disease can enjoy tasty sandwiches with our friends.
