Before there was Centro, Gateway Market and Django, chef George Formaro operated the South Union Bakery and Deli. The South Union Bread Cafe is still operating next door to Centro as a crowded lunch spot where you can order sandwiches on fresh baked garlic focaccia, salads and the popular Potato Pepper Jack cheese soup. The line is usually long, but you can move through fast enough to get back to the office after a quick lunch.

Im a huge fan of deli's. I always thought that Manhatten Deli was my favorite spot in Des Moines, but South Union is a huge contender for the spot....

I absolutely love this place! It has the best sandwiches and they're so big that I can take half home and eat it for lunch the next day!
