Best Things in Life: Momma Goldberg's Deli

The full title for this post should probably read "Best Things in Life: Momma Goldberg's Deli SPECIFICALLY the Momma's Love Sandwich"

What can I say about Momma Goldberg's?

Momma Goldberg's is an Auburn institution. It opened in 1976 (a fine year).
When I first came to Auburn, there was only one Momma G's. She has since expanded to other locations in Auburn, and to other cities in Alabama and Georgia too. I will write about the original located on the corner of Magnolia and Donahue...walking distance from the campus....in sight of the football stadium. It is a tiny "hole in the wall" and I say that ever so lovingly. The parking is non-existent, made moreso by the constant stream of patrons. The walls are covered in newspaper clippings from previous glorious seasons in football. In short, it's my kinda place.

Understand me when I say that there is no better sandwich than the "Momma's Love". This is how their website describes it:

"Our most famous sandwich is the Momma's Love. It's a delicious combination of
roast beef, ham, smoked turkey, muenster cheese, lettuce, tomato, mustard, mayo,
and Momma's Dressing on a seeded, steamed bun. Don spent hundreds of hours
perfecting our Signature Sandwich, and as a result the Momma's Love accounts for
approximately 65% of our food sales."

Just by typing this and allowing myself to think about it my mouth has started to water and my stomach is grumbling.
