With eight grilled cheese sandwiches on the menu, you can choose from the classic with yellow American, tomato and applewood bacon or the Blue Pig with white cheddar, bacon and blueberry jam, or Dave and Veronica’s Sloppy 2nds with homemade sloppy joe, white cheddar & smoked chipotle gouda. With these and 5 more unique creations, there’s a grilled cheese sandwich that will please just about anyone. Want to go a little crazy? Try the D’oh Nut Sammy. A cronut, scrambled eggs, cheese, ham and bacon concoction that looks more like a desert than a sandwich – but you be the judge.

Blue Pig Urban Deli & Drafts 2410 Central Ave. St. Petersburg, FL 33712 UrbanDeliAndDrafts.com If you like Urban Brew and BBQ, and Urban Provisions then you’ll most likely enjoy the Urban Restaurant Group’s Urban Deli and Drafts. Focused on a “scratch kitchen” and fresh foods like all their restaurants, Urban Deli and Drafts definitely goes the extra mile with their homemade pickles, sauerkraut and mustard. We don’t know too many restaurants that are grinding their own mustard seeds but this attention to details is what makes the difference.

Dale Mabry Hwy, Suite 10 Tampa FL 33629 MottAndHesterDeli.com Mott & Hester Deli has been serving Tampa Bay since 1982. Feel at home at this locally owned establishment from the minute you walk into the deli. The iconic sports memorabilia on the walls welcomes you along with the friendly staff who quickly learn your name and your "usual" lunch order.

If you’re looking beyond sandwiches, try their homemade pasta and sauces or salads served with their house-made dressing.

Once you try Mott & Hester’s delicious eats, we are confident you will want to be a regular. The art of the sandwich is alive and well!
