Thumbs Up: Eagle’s Nest Deli Reopening If I told you that 49 percent of American adults eat a sandwich every day, would you believe me? Well, don’t take my word for it—it’s true, according to a BC Dining Instagram caption last week. With the Eagle’s Nest Deli reopening, these sandwich statistics can fly high—just like…
