Tony's is in the fancy Safeway/Starbucks shopping center in Bend. The muffaletta from New Orleans was really haunting me, and I wanted to eat MORE provolone, MORE mortadella, and MORE, MORE, MORE yummy crunchy bread. I wanted to walk into that place and yell "turn me into a Soprano!!" I was hungry. The sandwich that most closely resembled a muffaletta was the Adamonator, named for the guy who I ordered it from, whose last name is Adamo. Unlike a muffaletta, this baby was long and sub-like, but the flavors were splendid. I liked the big, crunchy romaine leaf in the middle, but I just couldn't decide about the balsamic vinaigrette that soaked the bread. I think I liked it, but I would have liked a tapenade or some pepperoncini more. Salty and savory rather than sweet. It came with a side of potato salad, which was excellent. I'll be going back there for more, probably another Adamonator, and I'll probably be walking there since it is close to the house we are buying. It looks as if this is the place to get nice proscuitto in their deli case, too.
