Sangre de Cristo sandwich & holiday don’t-forgets
The turkey in our Sangre de Cristo sandwich is turkey confit — we braised it in duck fat until it was tender and flavorful beyond anyone's imagining. We then add pepper jack cheese, arugula, roasted green chiles, and sriracha mayo, and to placate the sandwich gods we place all of that between halves of our market-made ciabatta.
You can order a Sangre de Cristo online and pick it up at a time of your choosing, or you can order one in person at our deli. Eating half will get you to the base camp of the sandwich, a nice place to hang out until you gather the gumption to completely summit this sandwich. It's an eye-widening, toe-curling, stomach-happying colossus of sandwich engineering.

Things Not to Forget
Thing 1: Order Your Holiday Meat
If you would like to have something like this...
on your holiday table (not just the rosemary but that prime rib, also), or maybe something a bit more "showy" like a crown roast of lamb, or something that involves less hassle like a ham, we carry only Niman Ranch meat in our meat cases, which means we carry the best.
Niman Ranch's foundation consists of small family farms that raise their animals humanely — that means they're not packed into crates or stalls and they have room to roam; that means the animals can raise their young as they should be raised; and that means they're never given hormones or antibiotics. All of this care contributes to a non-stressful environment for the animals, and it translates to better meat.
Thing 2: Order Our French Rosemary Miche
If you would like to have something like this...
...on your holiday table, we will bake one fresh for you. This is a French Rosemary Sourdough Miche and it's our artisan bread of the month for December. The fresh rosemary that's baked in will ensure that this bread complements every holiday main course you can throw its way. These will be large loaves, enough to satisfy even the most voracious bread-etarian.
You can order our French Rosemary Miche using the buttons below. Order through Monday, 12/18; we'll bake it fresh on 12/20, and you can pick it up starting Thursday, 12/21, through, Sunday 12/24.

Thing 3: We Have Stollen
If your uncle Reginald, the one with the Great Dane that thinks it's Johnny Depp, offers to put something like this...
on your holiday table, you may at first say, "Whoa, Uncle Reginald, what the heck is that?" When he tells you it's stollen, you may say, "I refuse to eat ill-gotten bread." Uncle Reginald then says, "Not 'stolen' — 'stollen'!" and slices into it, revealing the spicy, fruity bread within. He gives you a sample, after giving his Great Dane a sample, and you say, "That spicy, fruity bread can indeed go on my holiday table, Uncle Reginald."
Paul Marczyk describes our market-made stollen thusly: "Our stollen recipe is a 50/50 blend of King Arthur bread flour and cake flour. We use rum-soaked raisins, both orange and lemon rind, slivered almonds, cinnamon and butter. Lotsa butter." If you're thinking, "But I don't like fruit cake," don't think that. It's not nearly as sweet as fruit cake. Rather it's spiced with holiday spices and chunked up with nuts and dried fruits. Each bite has a citrusy-cinnamon-y essence that makes people happy, including you.
Available in-store throughout the holidays.
