Butcher shop deli · College Avenue

"Butcher shops often double as excellent sandwich shops, which has long been the case for this popular Claremont neighborhood gem, which sits in the back of the Star Grocery grocery store and sells a variety of carefully constructed cold-cut sandwiches with goofy, mostly Italian-American-inspired names: the Raging Bull, the My Cousin Vinny, and so forth. Anything that features the house-roasted roast beef is a good bet, especially the Fat Albert: plenty of that pink, perfectly rare roast beef, cheddar, arugula, and chipotle aioli, all served on a good crunchy baguette. During the shelter in place, Star Meats is currently only offering a single sandwich variety each day; call in at 510-652-7712 to see what the day’s option is and to place a pre-order." - Luke Tsai
