Dean & Deluca is a fancy schmancy (not to mention pricey) gourmet/specialty food shop. I used to live near their flagship store in NYC, so occasionally I'd wander in and ogle all the wondrous kitchen gadgets that were way out of my price range. On rare occasions I'd splurge and leave with an extravagant (and no doubt luscious) treat tucked under my arm. I never tasted their tuna sandwich, but I was intrigued when I stumbled upon the recipe. I have to say, it's definitely up there on my list of good, solid tuna sandwiches I've had (for the record, I don't actually keep a list of those).
