Items we miss from Butte, Montana's restaurants from years ago.
We recently were discussing what Butte's signature food would be, thinking it would have to be either a pasty or a pork chop sandwich. Boy, were we wrong. Suggestions ranged from the Pekin to a Town Talk maple bar and, to be honest, it's hard to argue with any of them. One suggestion that really stood out was one of those famous sandwiches from the cooler at the Deluxe Bar on Front Street. Remember those? Remember how incredibly thick and delicious they were? We would always get the ham or the roast beef. One half sandwich and a bag of chips was a perfect lunch for a Butte kid, or at least that was the way my family always did it. But today, the Deluxe is long gone and it's sandwiches are a fond and delicious memory. What other things did you used to eat in Butte that you can't get anymore? Here are some of the things we remember and miss.
