There
are
many
aspects
I
enjoy
about
traveling,
some
of
which
have
dwindled
since
I
am
now
a
family
man,
but
some
of
them
remain.
One
of
those
ideals
is
opportunity
to
come
across
a
good
story
-
and
this
story
revolves
around
a
good
sandwich…correction,
a
great
sandwich
that
I
happened
to
stumble
on
while
sitting
around
at
the
airport
as
we
waited
for
our
passengers
to
return
before
our
flight
home.
As
per
usual,
I
was
getting
hungry
30
minutes
before
arriving
today,
so
the
Google
search
commenced.
In
my
quest
for
lunch,
I
came
across
the
Express
Deli
-
only
a
4.9
rating
from
roughly
500
reviews…how
it
is
not
a
5.0,
I
really
don’t
know.
Well,
I
suppose
some
people
could
grow
impatient
as
they
will
get
busy
at
the
peak
hours
of
eating
times…
Upon
walking
in,
the
sandwich
shop
seems
like
a
simple
deli.
Well,
this
is
much
more
than
a
simple
deli,
this
is
a
5
star
gourmet
in
my
personal
professional
sammich
eating
opinion.
Mike
greeted
us
with
a
smile
and
recognized
that
we
were
first
timers,
and
immediately
prepared
a
sample
of
3
of
their
finest
items
on
the
menu.
The
turkey,
a
philly
pastrami
and
a
reuben.
I
should
have
given
heed
to
Mike’s
warning
about
the
Reuben’s
temp,
but
I
was
too
excited
to
sample
it
as
the
aroma
was
incredible!
I
opted
for
the
Reuben
after
the
sample,
my
coworker
opted
for
the
Beirut
chicken
which
would
have
been
my
next
option.
Neither
of
us
were
disappointed
with
our
selection
as
the
quality
and
the
quantity
left
us
fully
satisfied
and
satiated
for
the
day.
Hopefully
we
have
time
to
rest
up
after
the
food
coma
sets
in
before
we
depart!
As
we
checked
out,
I
got
to
meet
and
chat
with
Pierre.
The
Pop
of
the
operation,
and
Pierre
is
a
gem
(as
are
Mike
and
Ma),
but
I
simply
asked
where
he
was
originally
from
and
learned
a
glimpse
of
their
story!
Pierre
was
originally
from
Lebanon
and
grew
up
in
Kuwait
before
immigrating
to
the
United
States
and
attending
College
here
in
Cleveland
earning
a
degree
in
engineering
and
working
for
40
years
or
so
(if
I
remember
correctly)
as
an
electrical
engineer
for
GE.
And
here
he
is
now
working
the
register
at
the
Express
Deli.
l
We
had
a
brief
chat,
I
wish
it
could
have
been
more,
but
the
line
was
growing
behind
me,
so
I
bid
him
farewell,
but
before
I
did,
he
wished
me
and
my
co
God’s
blessings
and
safe
travels
-
which
I
wish
the
return
for
him
and
that
others
may
receive
those
blessing
as
they
cross
his
and
his
family’s
path
as
I
did
by
meeting
them
today.
The
location
is
subtle
and
the
sandwiches
are
mighty.
And
the
people
that
own
and
operate
this
establishment
are
truly
world
class.
If
you
ever
get
the
chance
and
are
near
the
Cleveland
Airport,
look
them
up,
and
if
you
come
at
the
peak
time,
be
prepared
for
a
short
wait
(or
slightly
longer)
but
it
will
be
worth
your
time!
It’s
great
having
an
opportunity
to
learn
of
a
great
story,
even
better
when
the
story
can
be
shared.
And
thrice
as
nice
when
your
hunger
and
curiosity
are
satisfied.
Pierre,
by
the
way,
I
did
not
get
the
chance
to
compliment
you
on
your
outstanding
moustache.
A
life
goal
I
will
likely
never
achieve!
