Ham and Cheese
Claudette’s Sandwiches
Ham and Cheese
I grew up noshing these bad boys down on the beach in the summer. Stacked with ham and cheddar cheese, shaved carrot, cucumber and LTO—there’s a lot to get on there. But can we talk about the spread? Not sure if I’m allowed to even say – but it’s some combo of mayo, horseradish and mustard. Everything around you will melt away when you take the first bite. My second favorite is the meatloaf. It’s giving. The interior of the shop is still painted in the same pink the original owner, Claudette, imagined, and it always smells like freshly baked chocolate chip cookies. Oh, and Claudette’s packs these puppies between one type of bread— but trust me— you’ll understand why.
