Trades Delicatessen is the brainchild of restaurateurs Jason Roberts and Amy Wallace Cowan, the duo behind Oddfellows and the microbrewery Jaquval.

Elvis Sandwich Lore

Music-Sound Bites-Box Setsby Steven Doyle

We pretty much associate Elvis with that quirky sandwich made with peanut butter, bananas. The original sandwich that hooked the crooner did not have slices of bacon as we so often think, but instead just mashed bananas and white bread slathered with peanut butter.
