Turk and Larkin Deli: The Shane Battier of Sandwiches

The Turk and Larkin Deli is a average, big and inexpensive sandwich. The Turk and Larkin Deli is often referred to as the "Turkeylurky Deli"

Shane Battier is a solid glue-guy type player. He will never be an All-Star but you will never kill your salary cap by having him either. Other teams will underestimate him, but if he is on your team, you are glad to have him. This sandwich is the same. You are never going to tell a friend "Oh I know of this great Sandwich, you have to try." No, rather, you are going to go here when you are hungry and don't have much money.

I was introduced to this place by my Shane Battier of friends, the Rock of Glendale. He'll never get you laid or know of an amazing party but you are always glad he is your friend and he makes a mean pulled pork. He plays basketball nothing like Shane Battier. In the end, I'd rather have a Shane Battier friend than a Stephon Marbury friend. On to the sandwich.

Meat(25):x 15 Regular dry Salami.

Quality(15):
x 7 Your standard dry salami. This is the kinda stuff you get in the grocery store. Salty, decent flavor, overall average.

Quantity(10):
x 8 Damn. The old guy making this sandwich loaded the meat up on this sandwich. Most loaded sandwich to date.

Bread(20):
x 7.5
Middle of the spectrum Dutch Crunch. Not that flavorful. Average bread.

Value (20): x 15
I paid with a $5 and got change back. FUCK YEAH. $4.75

Spread (10): x 3
Yellow mustard and Mayo.

Fixings (10):x 2
  1. leaf lettuce
  2. Onion
Again showing just how simple this sandwich is.

Cheese:(5): x 2 Basic Cheddar cheese. I find this always has the strong flavor to keep up with the salami.

Originality (5):
x 0
Zero elements of originality

Sandwich shop/creator (5):
x 4
Counter guy was nice and quick. Lots of drinks in the fridge. The Rock and I split a tasty cookie. All of it was fairly cheap.

Total Points:
48.5
Yep just about average. Lacked a few elements but made up for it with
value.
