I work directly across the street from Milano and only go when I absolutely have to get something quickly before running back to the office.

The sandwiches are nothing at all to write home (or blog) about and it’s ridiculously expensive.

I went just the other day and had the most disappointing reuben ever.

Wow—I get called out first day of new forums! AWESOME! While Zach was hitting Rosarios, I was in his former stomping grounds hitting Seerios in NOLA for a Muffalletta. I don’t see how Flay could have lost to that Seerio dude!!!!! I did score lots of raw oysters and awesome poboys at my new favorite NOLA joint, Corner Oyster house! Of course that was after stumbling around the Quarter, acting like a fool, chugging grenades and hurricanes, petting the darn mules that were pulling the tourist carts (not to mention the cops’ horses), but that’s a whole different story….

As to Milano Deli, I have honestly only had the Milano Special from there. I’ve never tried anything else. I believe I actually found Milano Deli from a recco from a ML’er, so it’s kind of come full circle so to speak. I really enjoy that particular sandwich, though it is not quite as good as Rosario’s was. If you get the right guy to make it, it will be really freakin hearty-WAY better than any generic italian sub you get at your corner deli. Easily can make 2 hearty lunches out of it. That being said, Zach, if you havne’t, you have to brave the trip to Defontes….get the Nicky’s Special! Tastewise, it is easily as good as Rosarios. Not quite as hearty, but it is phenomenal…..

Rudy your avatar makes me laugh, but somehow I thought you’d choose a huge English sausage instead.

Wow, Zach, you almost made me cry. Thank goodness what you ate wasn’t better. When you do wind up posting one that’s better than Rosario’s, though, I will cry and curse the skies!

Clearly it does matter what you order there. But their meats are high quality no doubt. I will say the gravy suggestion sounds fantastic. But as much as I love the eye round, their italian meats are their strongest. You gotta stick with those.
