Growing up, my grandmother would host dinner parties to celebrate a variety of holidays — even ones that didn’t apply to us, like Chinese New Year — to help my family learn about different cultures and cuisines. During Mardi Gras, we’d scarf down muffulettas, which is where my love for this singular sandwich originated.
A muffuletta is an Italian sandwich created by Sicilian immigrants in a New Orleans Italian deli called Central Grocery in 1906. It is typically made with ham, Genoa salami, mortadella, swiss and provolone, as well as olive tapenade, a marinated, chopped olive salad — all served up on a round Italian semolina bread loaf.
Soon after moving to Denver in 2019, I found the perfect muffuletta, at Culture Meat & Cheese within RiNo’s Denver Central Market, at 2669 Larimer St.Culture Meat & Cheese, which opened in 2016 and has another location at Denver International Airport, serves classic sandwiches like grilled cheese and pastrami, as well as charcuterie boards, soups and salads.
“I love cheese, I love salami, and I wanted to do something that was a little more European style in a marketplace where people can come grab a breakfast sandwich in the morning, a sandwich for lunch and a charcuterie board before dinner,” owner Justin Brunson said.
