Our favorite brothers are profiled in this article on the City Paper's Meal Ticket blog by Felicia D'Ambrosio (who also took the photo) for a Valentine's series on the hottest food servers called Simply Edible.
Here's what she said:
"In honor of our blessedly single brothers and sisters this Valentine’s Day, we kick off our Simply Edible photo series featuring the hottest food servers in our fair city. Our first installment takes us into the depths of the Bellevue Food Court to admire the boys of Bain’s Deli.
Do you take your turkey sandwich with a side of Hot Damn? ‘Cause that’s what you’re getting from the hunky ham-handlers of Bain’s Deli in the Bellevue Food Court (200 S. Broad St.). Tattooed biceps under fashionably tight T-shirts? Check. Rockabilly hair? Yep. Smoldering gazes over the sneeze guard? All day long, ladies. Add in the sauna-like temperatures of this basement paradise and the lunch-room fantasy is complete."
