After months and months of pestering I finally agreed to take the drive down to Langley to visit the notorious Sandwich Nazi at La Charcuterie Deli. Hitman’s been there multiple times before and raved of the humor and amount of food you get for less than $10. Less than $8 to be exact. But the trade-off is that you have to succumb to the Nazi’s insults, crude humor, and uninvited visuals. Hitman’s given me a preview to the stuff the Nazi has said during his visits in the past, x-rated and all, and I honestly wasn’t too keen on the uncomfortableness that’s about to ensue.
Honestly it was only a 30 minute drive from our place. It’s located in the middle of an inconspicous industrial area and if you didn’t plan to come here specifically, you wouldn’t even bat an eye, despite the eye-catching and quite lovely exterior paint job. When we arrived on a weekday afternoon, the parking lot was already almost full.
As we were entering, a couple was just leaving and the lady warned us “Good luck in there~”. Great. Inside we found that there were about 3-4 people ahead of us, with more coming up behind. You can hear the boisterous voice of the Nazi right away. He sounded cheerful actually, and was in the middle of making fun of someone’s age. When he caught sight of us, first thing he said was “I don’t believe in mixed-race marriages. Unless they’re girl-girl, man-man, or girl-girl-man.” Followed with a fit of laughter. Hitman then countered, “Last time I was here, I was with a black guy friend and STILL you said you didn’t believe in mixed-race marriages!!!”. More laughter. Apparently the way to deal with the Nazi is to join in the banter. That’s why the place is always so loud and lively.
This deli is also a grocery store of sorts selling imported European goods. But I don’t think people come for the grocery much. The main attraction has got to be his personality and ginormous sandwiches.
