Description

Fabulous Fernanda's isn't only the best gourmet market around; it also sells huge, deluxe sandwiches for lunch, the kind of serious fuel you need to keep you slogging through another six hours in the old cubicle. Muffelettos are made on homemade ciabatta bread, stuffed with many inches of paper-thin salami, ham, cappacola, and provolone, tarted up with a good swipe of olive salad. Or spring for a roast pork sandwich with "secret spices" and barbecue sauce. Or a Greek sub piled with turkey breast and roasted peppers. Then there's the Cuban sandwich, the Serrrano ham sub, and an olde English cheddar, ham, and pickle roll. Sandwiches are around $10 and big enough to feed two. A case of prepared foods offers empanadas, frittata, fried tortellini, prosciutto pasta salad, split pea soup, stuffed grape leaves, and marinated artichokes priced by the pound.

While you're waiting for your order, cruise... More »
2005 | Best Prepared Food

Home cooks, foodies, wine aficionados, sandwich lovers, party-throwers, vegetarians, marooned Manhattanites, and second-generation Italians far from Mama's kitchen all know where to find the magic missing from their lives: Fernanda's. To purchase a slice of mascarpone torta ($29.99 a pound -- bliss doesn't come cheap) and eat it right from the box in your car, without ever leaving the parking lot, is as close to pig heaven as most gluttons are ever likely to get. If the torta's too rich for... More »
2000 | Best Wine Store

John Weber is a man who takes his wine and his words seriously. He's found his dream job at Fernanda's, running the international-food store's winery. There he oversees a good-sized collection of wines from all over the world and writes down his recommendations for customers. And he buys the rare stuff, like a case of Nuit St. George's La Perriere, a wine that comes from a red pinot grape that has mutated over the decades to produce a white wine. In South Florida you can buy it only at... More »
