As all fans of the sandwich know, a great sausage and peppers hero must contain high-quality, delicious Italian sausage, fresh and tasty bread, and perfectly sauteed peppers and (despite the name not even including it) onions. The version featuring sweet Italian sausage that is served up at Mike’s Deli inside the famous Arthur Avenue Retail Market succeeds on all those criteria, as many online reviewers and repeat customers point out. In addition to the traditional hero, customers can opt for their sausage and peppers on a roll, on Focaccia, as a platter or family style. “For my meal I ordered the sausage and peppers as a platter,” one rave online review says, adding: “It was delicious! The peppers and onions had such a nice char on them. The sweet sausage was great! There was so much sausage in my dish … not complaining at all!” What more needs to be said?
