OBX Eats: The KDH Deli

Welcome back to OBX Eats!

I am learning a lot about myself as I embrace this project.

 #1. I need to use spell check. There’s nothing worse than getting a call from your mom, congratulating you on your new challenge, and then telling you that you can’t spell. F7 is your fiend. (just kidding)

#2. I have to make it a priority to plan the blog post as I order. Three times I have ordered amazing food, only to remember that I forgot to take a picture of it. “Shame on you, food blogger!” Then I take out the iPhone and snap away at  a plate that has sauce pushed all around and hunk out of the prime rib. No one wants to see that, but I take it anyway.

#3. I eat out… a lot.

This week I took a few moments to stop in for lunch at the new KDH Deli. (KDH = Kill Devil Hills, in case you’re not a local) The restaurant was clean and I was greeted right away. Right away, I noticed the Fiddler’s Green Salad on the menu. It was described as “loaded with green vegetables like spinach and avocado, so it’s high iron, fiber, and healthy monounsaturated fats that raise your good cholesterol.” Sounds good, but I wanted something that was a little more fulfilling.

#4. I am an emotional eater.

I considered ordering the Booty Italian Sub, just so I could say, “Booty.”  This deliciousness has salami, capicola, pepperoni, ham, provolone cheese, roasted red peppers, sliced black olives, lettuce, tomato, onion, with oil and vinegar. It looked Bootylicious, and yet it didn’t call to me.

#5. Food speaks to me. I don’t always talk back.

I opted for the Buccaneer Beef: roast beef, Swiss cheese, lettuce, mustard. Except I had cheddar, not Swiss. And I had mayo, not mustard. And I felt like a pain, but they were crazy nice to me and accommodating. The fresh baked bread was healthy looking AND tasted good. I crunched on some salt & vinegar chips and sipped a fresh brewed sweet tea. I was happy.

In addition to serving sandwiches that let you say “Booty” in public, an appropriate manner, they also have subs, soup, chili, salads, and kids meals. They’re open for lunch and dinner. I can tell you that I’ll be stopping in to pick-up our lunch on the days that I can pry my way away from the office to go to the beach. Go for a visit, and tell them that Seaside Vacations sent you.

Eat Local. Always.
