Toojay's Gourmet Deli - Tampa, FL

CLOSED Oct 2015, relocated.
2223 N. West Shore Blvd

Toojay's is a Florida chain that has won a number of "Best" awards noted by the plaques hung within the restaurant . Did it deserve the status? I figured an $8 Hot Pastrami sandwich in the belly would be the answer.

Let's start with the good. The rye bread was fresh. The bad: the pastrami. It was chewy, sinewy, cold, and lacked depth of flavor. It was by no means the worst I have had but for a deli touting itself as New York style and awarded best title, I expected significantly better.

One sandwich isn't enough to truly judge a restaurant yet this one sandwich was enough for me to say no thanks.
