Legend Deli is in downtown Charleston making sandwiches from local ingredients.  Near Charleston College they opened in Spring 2023 by Chaz Wendel and Chef Tyler Hunt, formerly sous chef at Husk.  They serve a selection of custom sandwiches and salads.  Opening early they also offer breakfast sandwiches, but go for the lunch ones.  Their breads come from Normandy Farm Artisan Bakery in West Ashley and their produce from Limehouse.  There are a few tables in the space but a lot of the business was to-go.  Howerver we were on our way to the airport so stopped to fuel up before that.  Inside on one wall is a giant mural with references to lots of Charleston landmarks and the bathroom was full of carticatures with sandwiches.  A fun and friendly place with great sandwiches, it’s one I’d highly recommend to you.

Set-up

Food

The Club Sub contained turkey, bacon, cheddar, shrettuce, tomato, dijonaise (made with Duke’s mayo) on a hoagie roll.   The bread was very lightly toasted which was a nice enhancement.  The mix could have used more mayo but the ingredients were evenly distributed.   The bun was cut like an envelope instead of all the way through which made the middle less stuffed.   It was a good sandwich but not as fun as the Jabroni.

The Jabroni contained Tavern Ham, Hot Sopressata, Genoa salami, whipped ricotta, tomato, red onion, pepper relish, shrettuce (shredded lettuce), and house vinaigrette on a lightly toasted hoagie bun. The toasting added a crunch to the soft bread.   It was sliced in half as was the bun.  Well distributed ingredients were nicely seasoned with the relish and vinaigrette.   It was great, full of flavor and the easy favorite of the two.
