Remember the days when a deli sat on what seemed like every street corner? We could spin around on a stool at the counter or slip into a booth after we ordered our favorite meal – a sandwich with fries, for example – and relax as we ate. Today, most of us don’t have time to sit back for a leisurely meal, but when we do (and even when we’re in a hurry), there’s often no better destination than an old-fashioned deli. This Missouri deli, in fact, serves delicious food and ice cream in a classic deli setting.
