We picked a roll

JohnNDeanna

I'm terribly bored by drama on the internet, so I thought I'd share the highlight of my day. 

We picked our roll company for the shop.  The delivered samples to our front door this morning and I enjoyed them.  Now I have about 2.5 dozen rolls left over after trying one size, dh trying one, and the dogs stole a french baguette.  Oh the little things that bring me joy.

Haha that is one random highlight of the day and I love it!

I can't wait to visit your little sandwich shop when I am down the shore.

The little things that make your day are the best.  I cant wait to taste the yummy sandwhiches.

True sandwiches rely on a good roll, so it was really important for us to pick a good one.  As many know, rolls in SJ just aren't that great and keeping rolls fresh in saltwater surrounded towns isn't all that easy.  I'm hoping we picked a good one!  I know our meats are good, but breads are difficult.

I'm looking forward to visiting your shop Deanna!

I agree - it's all about the bread! Who did you go with - a large company, or something smaller?

I just thought I would add that I love bread. Oh, how I love bread.

I agree...the roll can make a sandwich!  Congrats on getting one more task done off of your to do list (I'm sure it's long).

I can kind of relate, I get just as excited over finding the perfect paper and ribbon LOL.

We went with Aversa's Italian Bakery.  They were the closest to what I was looking for with a harder outside and soft inside.  Their rolls are tasty, but don't overhaul the contents of the sandwich.

Thanks again for all the congrats.  I'll be sure to set up a GTG after the summer at our place or atleast contribute a hoagie platter to one.

Mmmmm Aversa's rolls are really good!

Yeah, Aversa's rolls are really good!  I need to stop reading this post, now I'd much rather be eating a roll than the yogurt I'm eating right now.

I love Aversa's!  I also love bread.

Now I'm even happier with our choice since you guys love their rolls so much!

Mrs.KaityJane

Good call with Aversa's.

Denna, congrats on the shop!  I had NO idea!!  Where are you opening?  and when?  As a owner of a retail store it's so rewarding...lots of time and $ but a good thing

 Thanks!  It really just happened over the course of 2 weeks.  We will be in Stone Harbor between 96th and 97th streets behind the movie theatre.  We hope to have our keys by the end of this week, early next week and be in there renovating every day till we're done.  We are going to do a soft opening throughout the spring, then go full ahead come May/memorial day.  Being that SH is a seasonal town, we will be there constantly all summer long, and cut back in the off season, probably close down for January and February.  I've always wanted a place of my own and it is already rewarding just from being able to make the menu, pick out the paint colors, and pick out the rolls.

 Krista, I could call in for another "sample" order for next week and bring over some fresh rolls for everyone.  They are really really good.  I'm trying to lay off breads, but no luck.
