How Welding Hoods Creat A Safe Working Environment…

Welding is definitely a process more hazardous than others: there are all sorts of risk that workers are exposed to in case they fail to comply with safety measures. From this perspective welding hoods are an essential part of the equipment that protec…

[…] I hinted at my fanaticism for Jerry Seinfeld in my recent review of Delish Express. I’ve even posted a photo clip of the fictional version of the “Original” Soup Man on a previous entry. It’s a safe bet that the real guy would not approve. […]

Went there. Looked at the prices and what was offered, and walked right out. I don’t understand what the fuss over this guy’s restaurants are. Charleston seems to eat up these “polished turd” feed-troughs. It’s just a flour wrap with veggies on it, people! Last I checked- you could get similar fare at subway for 1/3 the cost. But you say, “Oh! Subway doesn’t have honey jala-maple-chipotle-sun-dried -garlic-wasabi mayo on their sandwiches!”

So what?

Call me a troll or a hater, but if you’re going to eat this tripe, you have too much money to burn.

Yet again, Charleston gets bamboozled and real foodies get the shaft once again. I’m sticking to my own kitchen.

After eating at Delish Express a few times, I have to agree — it’s just too damn expensive for what it is. When the bill for 2 sandwiches comes to 25 dollars, I can’t help but feel suckered just a little bit.

Yeah, it’s not *that* expensive, but it turns out that it’s exactly expensive enough to keep me from returning with any frequency.

And I miss the OG Delish menu.

Right on, dave - the menu is too complicated, which becomes especially apparent if there are people behind you in line. The pressure to quickly, and expertly, create a flavorful sandwich or wrap can be overwhelming.

But I concur that the food is tasty, and the staff is great. I wish DE nothing but great success (oh, and a better recipe for Chicken and Dumpling Soup).

An out of town guest and I went to DE a few weeks ago. I have to say that the food was quite delicious and the staff was INCREDIBLY pleasant. Especially the manager. I too, have complained about the pricing. However, THE most annoying thing about DE is the menu. I mean, its far too complicated. Dont’ get me wrong, I have a ’sophisticated palette’, but who has a need for 7 types of mayo, really?

I never see anyone in there after 5pm. I guess their lunch is big. I just see how much Bluegrass has flourished and I hope DE does too.

The new DE is cute and urban and the prices reflect that. But, how many places in Charleston offer something that is better than the usual “hot, brown and plenty of it” type of fare? I, too, would like to see the old Delish menu come back.
I’ve been to whatever that is in the old Firehouse. Yuck!

Great review! I like it and look forward to more.

What you say doesn’t surprise me about DE, I sort of think the same things about cilantros… good but overpriced.

Great review - your pricing comments are interesting but I think I will still have to check out D.E.

I, too, was a huge fan of the old delish, and Cilantro’s has been hit or miss for me. The taco shells there are sometimes stale and it does cost a little too much. I’m anxious to try Delish Express, especially since I’ve been craving chili lately.

Thanks for the review and the great pictures!

Always enjoy your reviews, I concur with all that the old Delish menu is sorely missed. I have only been to Express once so I do not have a strong opinion but agree that lunch for two for $25 is pricey for Charleston. Parking meters were installed at the lot long before Virgil S. ever thought of having a restaurant in that location. Great to here about Morocco’s I look forward to checking it out.
