Come On In My Kitchen

Make me a Blues City sandwich, make it ten feet tall. If you can’t make me a sandwich, I don’t want nothin’ at all.

More About

Though Valenza doesn't do much advertising, he gets great word of mouth. Lunch business is brisk, the regulars drawn from the ranks of St. Louis cops and firefighters, workers at nearby Anheuser-Busch and downtown nine-to-fivers. Dinner has been nonexistent over the winter (Blues City Deli abbreviates its hours during the cold months) but will stage a comeback in April, when Valenza will begin staying open till 7 p.m. on weeknights.

Go see him. This guy might love the blues, but ain't nothing blue about his cheerful little sandwich shop. Blues City DeliBenton Park po'boy$5.95 Salsiccia po'boy$5.95 Muffaletta$11.75 (whole) Chili dog$3.49
