No. 86: Prosciutto Roma Sub From My Market
For years we've praised the deli counter sandwiches made at Fort Lauderdale's My Market,
a convenience store/bodega with a thriving sub shop attached. And for
good reason: each of the fifty-some varieties are made with bread baked
fresh daily, quality deli meat (what's not Boar's Head is usually made
in house), vibrant vegetables and herbs, and fruity olive oil. No other
sandwich there is more exemplary of this commitment than the prosciutto
roma, a hulking tank of a sub slathered with a pungent cascade of
sliced prosciutto, thick wedges of fragrant tomato, sweet slices of
fresh mozzarella, floral basil leaves, and streams of olive oil and
Balsamic vinegar. The kicker, though, is the chewy, hard-crusted
ciabatta bread, a starch so hearty it works your jaw out harder than a Richard Simmons
tape. This loaf is a beast - nearly half-a-foot wide and almost two
inches thick, it takes a mean appetite to down it in one sitting. The
small portion is also a steal at $7.99: it's over six inches long, and
every last spec of doughy real estate is crammed with buttery, tender
prosciutto, all meaty and salty and sweet. The large feeds two or more
hungry folk at just $13.99. With as much meat and fresh cheese as My
Market pumps into this beast, you'd probably pay way more just buying
the fixins' at another deli. But that's just another bit of beauty
about My Market: You don't necessarily pay premium prices for premium
goods.
