Tall Trees' beautiful spicy mortadella

👋 Joe here, with an eye-pleasing (and tasty) sandwich to share.

Dig in: Tall Trees Cafe opened in December at 817 Livernois in Ferndale, about a quarter-mile north of 8 Mile Road.

• "Throngs of fans" snaked around the building for its debut, Eater Detroit reported.

💭 Joe's thought bubble: My spicy mortadella sandwich ($16) — served with a buttermilk iceberg salad and Calabrian chiles on a sesame roll — lived up to the hype.

• Behold the construction, which, if executed poorly, can ruin an eating experience.
• The spicy chiles were a nice compliment to the mellower mortadella.

If you go: Open Wednesday-Saturday, 10am-3pm.
