Nashville’s Newest Market And Deli Has The Most Amazing Sandwiches In Town
A good sandwich on your lunch hour is truly one of life’s most underrated pleasures. There’s just something about a moment stolen from a hard days work, a handful of minutes that are simply dedicated to the absolute deliciousness that is your lunch. Here in Nashville, we take our dining enjoyment quite seriously, as you may have been able to derive from the rapid-fire rise of our city cuisine in recent years. Sassafras Market & Deli just joined the fray, and we’re delighted to say that the bright and airy space is just a perfect for a lunchtime pick-me-up as a grocery run.
Sassafras Market & Deli just opened in the Wedgewood-Houston neighborhood, a petite shop that's become known as the areas urban micro-market.
Wait, what's a micro-market?! The idea of the micro-market is derived from a much more European way of grocery shopping, where shoppers visit multiple times a week instead of once or twice and buying in bulk. Micro-grocers encourage shoppers to recognize how and when they'll use their food, where it's sourced from and how long it has actually been sitting on the shelf.
Sassafras also makes sandwiches and french fries to order, meshing a European grocer with a New England delicatessen flair.
Their classic burger and fries meal is a truly delicious take on the American classic, but if you're a fan of your childhood egg salad classic, know that it comes highly recommended.
The grilled cheese paired with Berkshire bacon looks like a dream, doesn't it? There's nothing like a cheese pull to have us all in and ready to indulge.
The homemade fries are definitely a must-try, made with natural potatoes and sunflower oil. Simple is best out at Sassafras, and after trying these yummy fried sides we have to agree.
"The Goat" is served with burnt butter bacon jam, honey blueberry goat cheese and jalapeno relish all on a fluffy brioche bun. That's the kind of lunch you can be proud of, folks.
