Eastwood Deli is just what you would expect: a neighborhood deli catering to a small audience and providing quick, tasty, comfortable food. This is a good thing. Set in *the* shopping/food complex you think of when you think of Eastwood (and in, I believe, the old The Wild Cow spot), you can expect easy parking, an efficient - but bustling - crowd, and lots of children underfoot.
I had yet to get to the grocery store, so I was making my daily trek in search of lunch. Trying to trick myself into a healthy option, I decided I'd come here for a salad -- a fried chicken salad. I fully admit to trying to trick myself.* I don't know the sandwich experience here but, for salad eating, it couldn't be easier. The options were grab and go right by the cashier. I suppose you could get a salad made to order but in my case, I looked for what I wanted, grabbed it, paid, and went about my way. E-Z.
I came back home, thought about dumping the goodies into a bowl but chose not to do so seeing as the container it came in was sturdy and I didn't feel like loading another dish into the washer.** My fried chicken salad came packed with fried chicken tenders (with seasoning in the breading), romaine &mixed greens, cheddar cheese, cherry tomatoes, bacon, pecans, and cucumber paired with an addictive honey mustard dressing. This salad won't win any health awards but it will fire up the endorphins and satisfy your belly. Just writing about it makes me want one... and I just had lunch!
*My mind, not my body.
**I understand the obnoxiousness of the action.
