And God love the corned beef, another item made on the premises. Thorndale Deli is one of the very few places in the city that still makes it. There are no tables and no chairs. It's strictly order, kibitz for any length of time you can stand, and take out. All sorts of people from the neighborhood become regulars because of the welcoming feeling you get from the people there.
People usually find out about the deli by word of mouth.
Alex, a young Hispanic man having worked there for eight years, demonstrated li'l over. Someone ordered a quarter pound of the turkey breast. This amounts to, say .37 lb. It's a bonus, though. Unless he wanted exactly a quarter pound, in this case, the customer got .37 lb. of the freshest turkey breast on the North Side.
