While the east coast is battered by Hurricane Irene, So Cal is having a heat weave.\u00a0 97 degree was the reading from my car thermometer!\u00a0 Holly smoke!\u00a0 As I was driving, I saw the beautiful sky, I just had to pull over and take a few pictures!<\/p>\n

\"\"Deciding on what to eat for lunch on this very hot day was not hard.\u00a0 I had purchased a Yelp dea<\/a>l for Orange Tree Deli at $5 for $10 food a couple of months ago.\u00a0 It is one of those places that gets glory reviews and I’ve bookmarked and wanted to try for a while.\u00a0 When I pulled up the the parking lot, I was a little surprised how unassuming the deli is.\u00a0 But don’t let the humble exterior deter you.\u00a0 Once you step inside, it’s a whole different atmosphere.\u00a0 The staff is friendly and helpful.\u00a0 There were many customers in and out during the time Allen and I were there.\u00a0 The owner, Jim, knew them by their names, so you know they were regulars.\u00a0 This is also a good indication that the food and service must be good for people to come back again and again.<\/p>\n

\"\"The menus is written on the black and white board.\u00a0 There are quite a lot to choose from.\u00a0 Burgers, salads, hot and cold sandwiches, and even Mexican favorites.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

First we got a tall can of Arnold Palmer to quench our thirst.\u00a0 Jim, knowing it was our first time at the Deli kindly brought over some Chips and Salsa for us to try.\u00a0 I love the different color chips and the salsa had a nice kick to it.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I asked the cashier what their famous hot sandwich was, she told me Hot Pastrami or Cheese Steak.\u00a0 You can get small or large.\u00a0 The large is about 12 inches which is big enough for Allen and me to share.\u00a0 It was really nice that they split the sandwich into 2 baskets for us.\u00a0 The Cheese Steak was very tender.\u00a0 I love that it was not greasy and the bread was soft with a hint of sweetness.<\/p>\n

\"\"I also got a large order of Caprese Salad with Tomatoes, Basil, Fresh Mozzarella, Extra Virgin Olive Oil, Red Wine Vinegar, Red Onion, and Cucumber.\u00a0 This was yummy!\u00a0 Perfect for a hot summer day!<\/p>\n

\"\"And then we saw these huge cookies on the counter waving at us and just had to get one.\u00a0 But owner Jim graciously gave us 4, one of each flavor (Chocolate Chips, Oatmeal Raisin, Peanut Butter, and White Chocolate Chips with Macadamia Nuts) to try.\u00a0 Oh my goodness, these homemade cookies were soft and chewy and oh so delicious!\u00a0 What a great way to end our wonderful lunch!<\/p>\n

\"\"Jim and his wife have been running this Deli for 27 years.\u00a0 With great food and great services, my guess is that it’ll be here for many many more years.\u00a0 Stop by to say ‘Hi’ to Jim and grab a quick bite.\u00a0 Tell him Wendy sent you.\u00a0 \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
