Monday --> Start of the work week --> What's for lunch today? --> It's Monday, so I have a lot of work to do and need somewhere quick near my office --> My office is downtown --> "When you're alone and life is making you lonely, you can always go... downtown" --> Seinfeld is still the greatest sitcom of all time
When you're working downtown and need a quick lunch, you usually duck into the corner sandwich shop. But which ones are worth waiting in line for? Welcome to the Downtown Deli Diagnosis, the new Monday series on Blackened Out aimed at you captains of the cubicle. Over the next month or so, we'll start off the week with a review of one of the more popular CBD lunch spots, and at the end we'll take a vote on who's the best. Feel free to play along by commenting on your likes and dislikes of each week's feature. First up...
Other idiosyncrasies include a delicious creole potato salad and a lagniappe bar where you can dress your sandwich your way with a wide range of toppings. (I know, it seems inconsequential, but I appreciate the no hassle opportunity to get extra pickles, honey mustard, and horseradish mayo without feeling guilty about slowing down service.) The german chocolate brownies in the display case look heavenly, but I only reward myself with those if I run 6 miles in the morning. I'll be sure to report back if and when that ever happens.
Welty's Deli - Par

I love Welty's. Tina is as sweet as pie. Their dishes are two full meals for me, so there's an added value.
Don't forget- Welty's is open "Saints Sundays" now- before all home games and they will stay open until the crowd runs out.
Underrating Welty's a bit Peter? Par? I didn't find a negative in the review besides you not wanting to fork out 9 bones for a muff. That's the going rate in this town.
Donnie Boy,
It was a close call, but I am sticking by my par. Welty's serves a good sandwich, but it's just not a place that I get excited about eating at. And the comment about the muff was meant as a compliment considering that a $9 sandwich can easily serve 2 people. Welty's has great value in my opinion, but I just wouldn't put it in birdie territory.
By the way, if they ever again offer the "Cajun Cuban" with hogshead cheese, order it without hesitation.
