Jason's Deli® - Albuquerque

Here's a 'drive-by' report on Jason's Deli®, brand new and ready to serve you.

I was surprised to hear of a 'newish' restaurant on the west side; it's surprising how a place just springs up - seemingly overnight. Jason's Deli® reminds me of a spacious, cleaner, brighter version of an back-east Deli.

The great thing about Jason's is that they are proud to announce [and print on their menus and also all over the walls and on signage] that "Everything! is FREE of artificial trans fats."

They are also gracious enough to mark their menu items with a Green V to designate vegetarian items. Some of those are: Tomato Basil soup, Vegetable soup, French Onion Soup [vegetarian F.O. soup?!! ohhh yeah!!!!], large and small fresh fruit plates with 'creamy liqueur dip', Spinach Veggie Wrap, Garden Po'boy, Grilled Portobello Wrapini®, Vegetarian Pasta, sides of Steamed Veggies, and 3 Bean Salad. They also offer a Salad Bar with gingerbread muffins and garlic toast.

I was pressed for time but lucky enough to get in before the lunch rush. I enjoyed the Garden Po’boy, with Baked Lays potato chips. The bread was lightly toasted Wheat French bread with Organic Greens, guacamole and pico, cucumbers, red & yellow bell peppers, asiago cheese and low fat balsamic vinaigrette.

It was great and I’ll be visiting quite often since it just down the hill from “the Borg” [sorry – inside joke for area residents of a certain profession]. Here’s the visual – I apologize for the quality but I promise I will get better at this!
