BEHIND THE SLICER
Welcome to Behind The Slicer, the official journal of Celebrity Delly.
This is where we talk food the way we actually talk about food behind the counter: passionately, obsessively, occasionally dramatically, and always honestly.
From deli culture and cheesesteak debates to old-school Jewish comfort food, restaurant trends, local food spots, ingredient breakdowns, kitchen stories, and the occasional unhinged sandwich opinion, this is where the Delly gets to speak directly.
Because Celebrity Delly has never just been a restaurant. It is a personality. A philosophy. A love letter to food culture.

What started as Chuck Rossler's dream in 1975 has grown into one of the DMV's most recognizable sandwich destinations, earning recognition from local food lovers, media, and industry awards alike.
