Since there was so much discussion about the muffuletta on the Prohibition Room thread, I thougt I would fire up a "best ever" on the subject.

To me, muffulettas are all about the olive spread and I think the key to a good olive spread is to get eonough of the oil cured black olive taste into it without making it bitter or overly sharp . . . just rich and smooth.

There is a little frame house on the east side Western just north of the 23rd Street O'Riley Auto parts store that is now painted yellow and has had a dozen bad eateries in it in the past ten years or so, but in the 70's it housed Nick's Importing, which along with Hiram's on the Paseo, were the two way excellent places for lunch in OKC in the day . . . lines out the door from 11:30 to 1:00 every week day.

Great sandwiches at both shops. Hiram's did a great avacodo and cream cheese, but Nick's served a muffuletta that was absolutely the best I have ever eaten.

I haven't checked out the muffuletta at the Prohibition Room, but I will in the near future.
