Chef Nicolette’s Salami Sandwich with Pickled Jimmy Nardello Peppers
Sourdough Baguette (I like Jane Bakery)
4-6 slices (depending on size) salami (I like Fra'Mani)
2-4 slices provolone cheese
2-4 ea Luke’s Pickled Jimmy Nardello Peppers, chopped
2-4 Tb Luke’s Olive Tapenade
1 Tb Luke’s Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Handfull wild arugula
Cut baguette into the desired size of sandwich and slice in half. Combine tapenade, chopped jimmy nardello peppers and olive oil and stir together in a bowl. Spread pepper mix on bottom side of sandwich.
Next layer on the salami, followed by the cheese and then the arugula. On the top side of the sandwich, spread the remaining jimmy nardello mix and close the sandwich. This can be wrapped and taken to eat hours later and will be just as delicious. It is also delicious toasted!
I like to assemble the bottom of the sandwich until the arugula and then place it in my toaster oven to melt the cheese. Then toast the top part of the baguette and spread on the jimmy nardello mix.
Add the arugula and close and enjoy hot!

Four Blocks from Paradise
This August, Dead & Company are playing Golden Gate Park, four blocks from our Inner Sunset store on 9th Avenue.
The same music that shaped my understanding of joy, community, and what it means to be present will be echoing through the neighborhood where we've built our newest store. The same songs I learned on my brothers' bedroom floor, the same recordings I obsessed over as a teenager, the same tape that was playing when Charlie and I took our first ride in the Tacoma. Everything comes full circle in the place where we're trying to prove that grocery stores can still be neighborhood cornerstones.
Why My Truck Only Plays Tapes
The tape wall in our 9th Avenue store exists because we've been struggling to find the right balance of structure and freedom with our music selection. We never wanted one set playlist, but with four stores, having no guidelines turned what should be an enjoyable part of the job into a source of conflict. Who gets to choose? What happens when someone complains?
The answer came from an unexpected place: a recent purchase of a 2004 Tacoma with the original tape deck still working.
