John Amaechi on a Local Panini
Add Fraser Street Deli (which names all of its sandwiches after local celebs, including former PSU basketball great Amaechi) to the growing list of restaurants touting local ingredients. Pepper ham, salami, capicola and provolone on a freshly baked panini may be the ultimate in carnivore, localvore indulgence.

To promote another local panini, Webster’s is doing a fantastic thing called the “Yemaya Melt.” It’s about as far from anything with meat on it, but it’s incredibly delicious, made with locally-produced Gemelli’s bread, and, in season, I’m sure the veggies are local.
I personally have a bit of a problem with Fraser Street’s model of vending Boar’s Head products, which are quite far from local, fresh, sustainable, or organic. We need to support more local meat and cheese producers.

I’m also a fan of the Yemaya Melt. After my daughter was born I begged my husband to bring one to the hospital. That’s what I was craving!
