Rubicon Deli
Truth be told, more than a few of my nights of drunken debauchery has led to a morning on some uncomfortable couch, still decked out in a skin tight dress and make up resembling the beauty expertise of KISS.  Once awake, the perusing around for shoes begins, followed by the realization that my stomach will kick my ass unless fed.  At this point, hunger tends to present an issue considering most conventional places to grub frown at the terror that is “the morning after”.
Fortunately, with the motto “no shoes, no shirt, better service”, Rubicon Deli in Mission Beach offers a delectable, meat and cheese packed sanctuary for people like myself.  I have taken this motto literally, entering the Rubi in a variety of shoe attire including stilettos, rollerblades (which are now dubbed Rubiblades), and even barefoot,  always leading to the same greeting of up most excitement.  Trust me, once you try one of their incredible sandwiches you would come in a tutu if it meant a chance to sink your teeth into one.  With fresh baked bread like pesto and bleu cheese, unique creations like Moe’ Meatball and Dom Pastram, and a friendly laid back staff, this deli is the number one party when it comes to a good ole’ sammy.
