Never heard of it, have ya?\u00a0\u00a0 PSC makes sandwiches for gas stations, mini marts, vending, and offices.\u00a0\u00a0 There’s usually a company or two like this in every city, they compete with national brands of the same ilk like “Deli Express.”<\/div>\n

<\/strong><\/p>\n

I’ve written about ‘gas station sandwiches’ <\/a>on an occasion or two<\/a>.\u00a0\u00a0 That’s my phrase for them, it’s not a trade label.<\/strong><\/div>\n
I generally stay away from the “salad varieties”\u00a0 (tuna, egg), but the meat and cheese ones seem harmless.\u00a0 Pretty much my favorite is Deli Express’ muffaletta.\u00a0 They take a little poetic license with the original recipe, but I like it just the same. <\/strong><\/div>\n
Today I was perusing the cooler at my favorite Chinatown mini mart, and spotted Portland Sandwich Company’s version of a “Reuben.’\u00a0 $3.49.<\/strong><\/div>\n
I took it back to the office and dissected it.\u00a0 The label lists 64 separate ingredients that make up the corned beef, swiss, bread, and thousand island dressing (which I scrapped off).\u00a0\u00a0 Two of the more interesting ones were “saurekraut” (sic), and “raisin juice.”\u00a0 Hmmmm.<\/strong><\/div>\n
Anyway, it wasn’t so bad.\u00a0 The bread wasn’t soggy from the kraut, which I anticipated, and the meat was passable, much more so than the press\/chopped\/form ham or turkey one usually gets.<\/strong><\/div>\n
The food carts of Portland are great, but remember there are other small businesses in the food arena too.\u00a0 If you get a chance, support the Portland Sandwich Company<\/a>.<\/strong><\/div>\n
