Jason's Deli
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jason's Deli is a fast casual restaurant chain, serving the four "S"'s: Sandwiches, Salads, Soups, and Spuds. Jason's Deli started in 1976 in Beaumont, Texas by Joe Tortorice. The original location is still in operation at the Gateway Shopping Center. The chain started franchising in 1983 with the first location in Tucson, Arizona. The majority of the over 150 units are in Texas, the Southeast U.S. and the Southwest U.S., covering 21 states. The company is privately owned with half of the units are corporate owned and the rest are franchises.
The delis feature a self service salad bars, daily soup selection, desserts, along with sandwiches and "spuds" (baked potatoes). The muffaletta is a huge sandwich on 10-inch sesame seed bread with ham and hard salami, or turkey, with provolone cheese and an olive mixture. Po' boys, such as the Beefeater and Meataballa are featured, along with classic sandwiches such as club, BLT, Reuben, and tuna melt. Contemporary sandwiches such as wraps and panini are available, as well as a "Wrapini" created by Jason's (a wrap grilled on the panini grill). The spuds are giant baked potatoes stuffed with various fillings. Catering with party trays and box lunches is also available.
In April 2005, the company completed a five-year mission to eliminate all trans-fats from their menu as noted in the article Jason's Deli chain to go trans-fat-free by April 15. Nations Restaurant News. Retrieved on January 15, 2007.
