What started as a passion for great sandwiches has grown into one of the Metro East’s most talked-about food destinations.

In Episode 49, Alexis Zotos sits down with Ed Heath, owner of Ed's Delicatessen, to talk about bringing a neighborhood deli experience to Edwardsville. From the early days at Cleveland Heath to a return to Illinois to open a sandwich shop that's so much more, Ed shares his story. 

We also talk about battling burnout, creating community through food, and why great hospitality matters just as much as what’s on the menu.
