Degnan’s Deli in Yosemite Valley:

After spending the morning snowshoeing at Badger Pass we went down to Yosemite Valley for lunch at Degnan’s Deli.  You can see in the photo I ordered a tuna sandwich on a croissant. I rarely order a tuna sandwich and I never get a sandwich on a croissant. Have you ever seen at the tuna at Subway? I like tuna but don’t always trust the place that is making it.  Croissants are made to be eaten plain or with chocolate, ham, or cheese inside. The sandwiches at Degnan’s are dry pieces of bread with meat, cheese, lettuce, and a condiment. I know that is what you find on every sandwich but a good sandwich has cohesiveness to it that Degnan’s didn’t achieve. All the sandwich ingredients at Degnan’s were working independently of each other. I trusted Degnan’s tuna because it looked like the only thing they made with some thought. The rest of the meat options were cold cuts. The bread was from a grocery store and their was not option to toast it. At least toasting or melting cheese would have made the sandwiches better. My sandwich wasn’t bad but the others I saw being made looked terrible. In one of the most beautiful places on earth I was beginning to wonder if food mattered to anyone.
