J & J Deli and Bakery, located at 659 Memorial Highway next to Roth Jewelers, has a list of goodies for a hearty Back Mountain appetite. There’s bar-b-ques, hot and cold subs, cold sandwiches, and home- made salads to tempt your tummy. Wertman takes pride in the salads which are made fresh daily and with no preservatives. J & J also uses the motto ‘‘Cater- ing For Any Occasion.” According to Wertman, the catering reputation at J & J is building and he has had many referral catering customers. The baked goods sold at J & J are made fresh at the Bakery Delight in Plains. Wertman said the pastries are of high quality and many cus- tomers are delighted that they no longer have to take the long trip to Plains to get their quality baked goods. Wertman also mentioned that the ice cream cakes made at Bakery Delight are especially deli- cious because they are made with homemade ice cream. Wertman makes a special trip every morning (and sometimes again in the afternoon) to insure the freshness of all the baked goods. J & J Deli and Bakery is open Sunday through Thursday from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. and on Friday and Saturday from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. Wertman operates J & J Deli along with his wife, Janis.
