Your Local Deli - More Than Meets the Eye
By Michael Cusanelli
Most of us have gone to our local deli to get coffee or a sandwich more times than we can remember. But what was the last time you thought about the people behind the counter - who they are, and where they're from?
Ramesh Patel, the owner of the Mill Deli in Yaphank, recently told me his story, from living in a small village in India to becoming a successful business owner in the US. His hard work and dedication have helped to create a new life for his family and brought a lot of smiles to the customers who visit him every morning.
