Indianapolis - Shapiro's

Had business reasons (a terrifyingly boring seminar) to be in Indianapolis last night and today. Last night meant a tolerable meal at Ruth's Chris with the client; today meant glomming onto three sandwiches from Shapiro's Carmel location to take on the road (one for my drivetime snack, two for Mrs. JiLS and me to enjoy at dinner upon my return). Corned beef, pastrami and rye bread in Carmel are the same as South Meridian Street (although the setting has been sanitized for that Carmel housewife/soccer mom acceptance factor. For those unfamiliar with Carmel, think Northbrook, only much bigger).

Here's how the remains of the 8-hour old pastrami sandwich looked this evening, after a four hour drive and four hours of refrigeration, too; imagine how it looked fresh from the line:
