The real deal would be a Hero.

They may not be quite NYC-style, but they are definitely deli-style, and in my opinion both worthy.
Doug Davis wrote:My lament since moving to Louisville from NYC has been for just one thing, an authentic old style high end deli. Despite Louisville being a foodie town we have a number of big holes in our dining line up (Im available for PAID consultation should anyone be looking for a new concept). One of these has always been our lack of a great deli, not a sandwich shop but a full blown deli.
The type of place you can get a pastrami (made in house) piled high with kraut (made in house or sourced locally) on daily fresh baked bread. Or a gigantic new york style sub with fresh sliced meats, cheeses, loaded with fresh herbs and dripping with oil and vinegar. The real deal. The closest I have seen since moving to this area is Smoking Goose meats in Indianapolis.
So when I saw Hubba Hubba had opened in St. Matthews I thought "maybe this is it!" And so today while out running errands I stopped in for lunch. Thats where my hopes ran smack dab into reality.
Long story short. This is like a bad knock off of Subway and Jimmy Johns combined. Additionally the layout was done poorly, and when the girl making my sandwich leaned over the chiller containers to the third back row, to grab the onions I had requested for my sandwich, her t-shirt ended up dragging through my still open sandwich. Pretty sure thats not allowed.
Another young lady who rang me up had 1inch+ long acrylic fake nails, which I know is a health code violation, but not sure if that pertains to people who might only work the register.
They might do well with the lunch and after school crowd from Trinity across the street, but I won't be back.
Someone in this town please open a deli!
