Chick and Ruth's Delly

 Stardate 65529.9

12:10 - Traveling back to the quaint town of Annapolis, we visited a little fixture on Main St. with a bunch of character. Chick and Ruth's Delly has been in existence since 1965 and has been passed down a generation. This family establishment boasts of many entrees and sandwiches that bear the names of famous Marylanders, politicians, and/or locals. Even more to be proud of is their mammoth shakes featured on Man V. Food. I would have to say (on their behalf) that they would be most proud of reciting the Pledge of Allegiance every day since 1989.

Our experience in this bustling delly (not deli) was heartwarming. For starters, the near freezing conditions outside drove us in. Once inside, we grabbed hot cocoa and The St. Johnnies burger. The St. Johnnies burger consisted of a warm bun, cheese, bacon and two patties. Fun fact: The St. Johnnies burger comes with two patties because you never see a Johnnie alone. Travel in packs, they do. I hate to disappoint you, Focus Foxies; the Johnnie burger may have two patties, but the ‘Midshipmen’ has more meat on the burger. The Johnnie burger tasted great nonetheless.  The most heartwarming part of the meal was watching the owner, Ted, doing magic tricks for customers. How cool is that?
