Today we take a look at Between the Bread, a newcomer to the downtown deli scene located on St. Charles across from Lafayette Square. The space is extremely inviting - vaulted ceilings allow for balcony eating upstairs and tall windows offer plenty of natural light. The menu is simple: soups, salad, and sandwiches. You can check for the daily specials on their blog. Order at the counter and wait for your name to be called.
Triple B, the Coonhunter, and I all ordered sandwiches on our first visit, and not one of us left disappointed. The bread is of the typical sliced genre but much taller, and you can have your choice of sourdough, whole wheat, rye, or multi grain. As you can see from the Coonhunter's main street sandwich with turkey and bacon, all of the deli meats are sliced paper thin.
The "market chicken salad" is a medley of sizable chunks of white meat, dried cranberries, relish and egg mixed held together by a mixture of cream cheese and sour cream. For all you people with an aversion to mayo (and I am sometimes one of them), this is the chicken salad for you. One of the best specimens out there.
Why have I not seen this before? BLT/PC - bacon, lettuce, tomato, and pimento cheese. The homemade PC is creamy and not overwhelmed by the peppers, and when you match that with the salty crunch from the bacon, you get a great sandwich. Brilliant!Sandwiches come with kettle chips, but you can swap for potato or pasta salad for a buck. The most expensive choice on the menu is the smoked salmon salad for a whopping $9.

Too bad Rene only goes to Gregory & Pete's or P&G. He won't cross Baronne Street for lunch.
they also have a basket of blankets so you can picnic in the square if you so desire!
Where exactly is that? Is it in where the old Boulangerie (downtown) was?
