Grouchy's Deli

It is no secret how fond I am of a good sandwich (everyone has heard me rave about Gandolfo's), so it should be no surprise that I found another deli that I like. 
Grouchy's is another place in Norcross that we happened upon and is worth your consideration. It was clean and spacious inside and the girl at the counter was very nice and patient. We got the Chicken Melt sandwich (chicken salad on bread, covered with Muenster and toasted) and the Chicken Cutlet Parm (chicken cutlet, marinara and melty cheese on some crusty bread) with some sides of pasta salad and fruit salad and a couple pickle spears. Yum yum yum! The marinara on the Parm was nicely seasoned and the chicken was oh-so-moist! The chicken salad was creamy and delightful! The pasta salad was well-made and the fruit salad was fresh, as were the pickles! 
I'm going again--so should you!

Dog Days Chicago Hot Dogs

I have a special place in my heart for hot dogs--it's located near the entrance at my stomach. 
When you don't have a Costco membership, getting a good hot dog can be hard, so I'm always on the lookout for a hot dog joint (FYI: I've never seen one in Utah). I was driving around with my realtor the other day and happened to spot one and bonus--it was actually really close to where I'm living! As soon as Dave got home from work, I forced him (yeah, that was hard) to go try it with me. 
Dog Days is in Norcross and they have quite a large menu, mostly consisting of different hot dogs (obviously), but they also have burgers, Italian sausages, fish and chicken baskets, sandwiches, salads and desserts. Inside, it has an eclectic-geek feel with a sweet Chewbacca head on one side and some framed Star Wars posters on the other, with a bunch of Chicago memorabilia filling in everywhere else. Dave ordered the 1/4 pound Georgia Dog, which is covered in sweet coleslaw, barbecue sauce, and grilled onions (moist and delish!). I ordered the 1/4 pound Chipotle Ranch Dog, which is overflowing with bacon, lettuce, tomatoes, and chipotle ranch (packed and perfect!). Foodgasm! Heavens, I loved those hot dogs! I've never had such a fantastic hot dog and I kinda want to eat there everyday...which might not be a good idea...

These pictures are from our second visit and boy, were they good!
