"Ian McGregor, a music promoter with restaurant experience, is seeking crowdfunding to open Deep Cuts Deli, a hybrid deli and music venue intended to serve sandwiches by day and function as a sanctuary for artists by night, offering space for practicing and performing without some of the costs often associated with traditional venues and hosting art shows, movie screenings, workshops, and community events. The menu is in development and was taste-tested at a pop-up: sandwich options included Chick Chick Boom, a vegan curried chickpea sandwich on sourdough, and Big Trouble in Little Boston, a roast beef sandwich with kimchi slaw on a ciabatta roll; a side served there was Gallagher’s Lament, a watermelon salad with feta, pickled onions, and mint. McGregor launched an Indiegogo campaign to cover operating costs, the buildout, kitchen equipment, and furniture, and donors can receive rewards such as practice time, a taste-testing party, or — for a $5,000 donation — a sandwich named after themselves; follow Deep Cuts’ social accounts for updates as plans solidify." - Dana Hatic
