Red Scooter Deli - Paso Robles, CA

There's a sleek square of streets surrounding a gorgeous green in the town of Paso Robles. Every restaurant is well-manicured, and it looks like fine dining all around. But it seems there are affordable places to grab a square meal, and Red Scooter Deli is at least in the top 3! 

I haven't even looked at the menu for any other restaurant, but I can say this with conviction because I've NEVER had anyone make a Turkey Club exciting. Turkey is my least favorite sandwich, but theirs is done really well. The meat is a juicy roast, the bacon is a chewy savor, and there's a thick layer of ripe avocado smeared across the top. The sour from the sourdough is a flavor that amplifies all the others. 

Their cold stuff is perfect if you're on the run, but the French Dip'n is a must if you have a moment to sit. The roast beef is medium rare in the middle and it melts in your mouth. Check out the stretch on the provolone, and pause to enjoy the au jus, which is basically French onion soup. Put your hand upon my dip, when I dip, you dip, we dip!

Even if you're not feelin' the food, they make a mean Latte all day. They have all sorts of flavors for your morning coffee, and the Berry Sunshine is one of a whole list of refreshing smoothies. If you're visiting Paso Robles or just stopping through, give Red Scooter Deli a try. They have a drink for every diner and sandwich for every palate.
