Wursthaus Schmitz, the baby brother of Brauhaus Schmitz on South Street, started making hot food available at its Reading Terminal spot last week.  Beyond the shelves of funky looking German cooking products, sauces, and chocolates and the glass display of wursts, salamis, and head cheese, are a few meaty sandwiches (all $8) to choose from. I had “The Schmitz” in mind after seeing it on the online menu, the pretzel roll is what got me, but sadly those rolls are not in stock yet. So I had to adjust my sausage agenda.  You might think that after sausage gravy waffles I would have had my fill of sausage for the week. Not the case, friends, this girl can handle excessive sausage intake.

Sometimes I am really proud of how gross I am. I noticed that Hershel’s in Reading Terminal offered a knish dog. I wasn’t exactly sure what that meant, was it a hot dog poked inside a knish? A hot dog wrapped in a knish? I had to know.

Then I saw the hunks of glistening meat on the cutting boards. I wanted it all.

To kick off Dedication Week at Reading Terminal, a celebration of the newly renovated terminal space, Beck’s Cajun is making a 6 food Cajun “train wreck” sandwich. That means 6 feet of cheesesteak, andouille sausage, salami, and Creole Mayo. Head over at 12:30 today to get a bite of this creation.

I was running late for something very important and impressive and a quick and easy lunch at Mezze, right in the middle of Reading Terminal, fit the bill.

They have several lunch combo possibilities, with half sandwiches, small salads, etc. For the sake of saving time, carbs, and money, I chose the cheaper combo ($7)- a small salad and a soup.
