We ordered two of their specials: a Lobsta\u2019 Roll, and a Chicado (chicken salad with avocado). However, they were out of avocado, so no Chicado for us. Based on prominent signage, we made a game-time decision to choose a Vegi Burger with its \u201cdelicious patty.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Vegi Burger was good \u2013 the patty was nothing special, but the accoutrements were fresh and generous, and the bun was a nice freshly-baked sourdough. The Lobsta\u2019 Roll was absolutely, ridiculously amazing. The lobster salad was very heavy on the lobster \u2013 local, mildly sweet, and in big lumps. It was complemented very well by the Swiss cheese, mushrooms, and red onions. I\u2019ve never had anything quite like it, and I savored every bite.<\/p>\n<p>This morning we stopped by Deli &amp; Bread Connection on our way to the airport to pick up provisions for the long flight home (something I highly recommend). This time they had avocado, so we repeated our original order from Wednesday. The Chicado was good (reminded me of a sandwich from <a href=\"http:\/\/kennyw.com\/food\/257\">Specialty\u2019s<\/a>), but it paled in comparison to the Lobsta\u2019 Roll. As a consequence of our <a href=\"http:\/\/lawolf.net\/?p=1566\">flight shuffling<\/a>, Lauren and I were placed in window seats on consecutive rows, with couples seated adjacent to us. As you would expect, neither couple wanted to swap seats with us. However, as I was taking my first bite of the Lobsta\u2019 Roll, my neighbor offered to trade his seat for the sandwich. What would you do in this situation?<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Counter service\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/lavoie\/5810613872\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Counter service\" src=\"http:\/\/farm4.static.flickr.com\/3073\/5810613872_730d0468be.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" \/><\/a>     <br \/><em>Order up!<\/em><\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Lobsta&#39; Roll\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/lavoie\/5810616130\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Lobsta&#39; Roll\" src=\"http:\/\/farm3.static.flickr.com\/2415\/5810616130_0e1c42e0e1.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" \/><\/a>     <br \/><em>Lobsta\u2019 Roll &#8211; lobster salad, grilled with mushrooms, red onions, and melted Swiss cheese<\/em><\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Vegi Burger\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/lavoie\/5810052533\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Vegi Burger\" src=\"http:\/\/farm3.static.flickr.com\/2716\/5810052533_386eb5d026.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" \/><\/a>     <br \/><em>The Vegi Burger \u2013 with mushrooms, mozzarella, tomato-basil pesto, and \u201cthe works\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Kenny and his sandwich\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/lavoie\/5810056325\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Kenny and his sandwich\" src=\"http:\/\/farm3.static.flickr.com\/2168\/5810056325_3e148ac646.jpg\" width=\"247\" height=\"371\" \/><\/a><a title=\"Lauren and her sandwich\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/lavoie\/5810054327\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"margin: 0px 0px 0px 5px\" alt=\"Lauren and her sandwich\" src=\"http:\/\/farm3.static.flickr.com\/2073\/5810054327_1ca87edb4a.jpg\" width=\"247\" height=\"371\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Deli &amp; Bread Connection    <br \/>3-2600 Kaumualii Highway # 1648 (next to Macy\u2019s)&#160; <br \/>Lihue, HI 96766     <br \/>808-245-7115<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rating: In both of our guidebooks, Deli &amp; Bread Connection is touted as having \u201cthe best sandwiches in Kauai.\u201d So when we passed through Lihue as part of our helicopter-delay excursion, we had to stop by for lunch.
