Eat Arkansas

My favorite grocery-store sammich, bar none, is the muffaletta served at Stagecoach Grocery out on Highway 5. Instead of the big, round loaf they use for muffalettas in New Orleans, Stagecoach Gro. keeps it small: a toasted hoagie roll, full of meat, cheese and olive salad, and all grilled on a press. TASTY!

With all due respect to Monkeybone (and I've eaten and enjoyed the Stagecoach muffalettas), I take the other side in an age-old New Orleans dispute. Muffalettas? Heated or unheated. I say unheated. I think the olive salad tastes best at room temp. and heating the meats and cheese and bread somehow unbalances the taste.

Yes! Thank you Max. A heated muffaletta is an abomination. Of course I take mine vegetarian, no critter, but plenty o' cheese and olive salad, so I imagine mine is an abomination to some, but when I lived in NOLA the real muffaletta was served unheated.

You can't beat a place that whose sign reads like a Wheel of Fortune game. I'm guessing Uncle T has used up all of his vowels except "o."

I don't know about that roll. A sandwich is only as good as the bread it is built on.
