Neal’s Deli in Carrboro

How lucky am I to live within walking distance from this well-respected and quaint deli in Carrboro, North Carolina? Neal’s Deli makes its own pastrami and corned beef. Both Sugarface and I both get the Pastrami Reubens with Zapp’s chips when we grab lunch here. And when Sugarface’s mom is in town, I pick up fresh biscuits in the morning so she can make her biscuits and gravy.
