JUMBO SMOKED DRUMSTICK
Holy drumstick heaven. Tried a jumbo smoked drumstick at the Cajun Festival in Isleton ($10) and shared it with my husband. Our biggest regret was not buying one before we left, so that we could bring it home for dinner. It would have been even more enjoyable to get down with this bird away from the crowd.

An old-school deli sandwich made the way it should be with lots of stuff in the middle, and everything spread out to the side of the crust of the bread like a sandwich should be made. Plenty of fixings, meat cheese ect... And all spread the to the edge of the bread evenly.. That way it should be... since I discovered this place, I don't even bother to have a sandwich made anywhere else. Try it, and you will understand...
