Sammy's Food Services

Sammy's Food Service & Deli opens its doors at 7 a.m. Breakfast is not the Gentilly restaurant's busy time. That distinction belongs to lunch, when a line running from the cash register to the door regularly features a member of every class and race in New Orleans. But in the early morning, when the angle of the sun casts a shadow on all but slivers of the window-lined restaurant's dining room, New Orleans appears prepared for battle. Literally.
