Fiona's Delicatessen

Fiona's Deli has been around for quite awhile. It used to be located downtown, but sometime in the last decade made the move to East Harmony Road where Steele's Market met an untimely demise. Other than a selection of attractive cakes and cookies, there is also a breakfast and lunch menu consisting solely of various sandwiches. Although I've never seen it in action, there is an old-fashioned soda shoppe in the back. I'm here to talk about sandwiches. The sandwich is pretty much my favorite creation, and the breakfast sandwich is the best of my favorite creation. Here's what you do; go to Fiona's and bring a friend and order one sandwich. They are huge and they are filling and they are good. Maple cream cheese is something I've never had on a sandwich and I like it.
My wife helped me stray from my breakfast fixation and try a 'Rosie's Roundup' for lunch. It's a pita sandwich with roasted veggies, tzatziki and hummus that I believe was slapped on the griddle for a minute. It was chickpea bliss.
I would fancy trying everything on their menu, but the menu is fairly large and has something for everyone, unless you don't like delicious sandwiches.
Since Fiona's is just down the street from my home, I have been frequenting the deli. Give it a try. Sandwiches range from 6.99 to 9.99, but you'll likely get two meals from them.

A brief introduction

I'm Greg, and I love food. It's delicious. I live in the beautiful city of Fort Collins, CO. If I had to guess, and I do, I'd say we have close to one hundred million restaurants in this town. My wife and I enjoy dining, lunching, brunching, and breakfasting out. I'm here to tell you about our food experiences in the Northern Colorado area, as well as any places our travels take us.

I'm not a food critic, though I tend to critique food. I'm not a food blogger, yet here I am, embarking on a journey of blogging about food. I am not a chef, but I am a home cook, and I will be happy to share my kitchen creations with you.

What you'll find here is my experiences with restaurants and food. If I have a bad experience at a diner, I'm going to tell you that it sucked, and why it sucked. I hope to achieve from this an uninhibited report on the culinary culture of the town I live in.

Also, it gives me an excuse to go out to eat more often.

Mangia!
