SOUTHEASTERN NC When Kelly Ashline was a teenager, she worked for the now-defunct sandwich haven South College Deli and loved the experience. The owners were kind, the food was solid and the customers were loyal, according to the former employee.
Though Ashline didn’t stay in the restaurant industry too long into adulthood, a passion for cooking and baking stuck. Now, with business partner Jessica Brotherton, a love for the art of crafting the perfect sandwich is coming back full circle.
“It was weird how it happened because we had been planning our food truck, not even knowing that South College Deli was going to close [during the pandemic],” Brotherton said.
