Have you guys tried getting a contract with AAFES? I know a lot of military personnel would choose a healthy option over something fried. Plus your food is of the highest of quality. I know I absolutely love your food!
Mr. Tortorice – Congratulations on the Achbishop Joseph Fiorenza Faithful Citizen Award (and the Beaumont’s Citizen of the Year, and the Silver Plate Aware). I read the article posted on this website. Your leadership at Jason’s Deli is evident, and your leadership in your community is inspirational.

Dear Mr. Tortorice:
Did not know where to contact you. Went to your Huntersville, NC Jason’s Deli for the first time and had initially an unpleasant experience. Have ordered a simply hot dog meal, it took 1/2 hr. to receive after having asked about it with the cashier. Apparently, it was sitting on a counter forgotten about and cold. Well I became annoyed as I asked about it 3 times. Asked to speak to a manager. Spoke w/a manager called, “Jay”. He was excellent. Jay bent over backwards to rectify the situation probably noticing I was a new customer and demonstrated he was interested in doing business and wanted to correct the impression I had of Jason’s. Admittedly it was a Sat. and it was slammed w/customers but nevertheless, I explained I had a dog in the car waiting for me. This manager could not have been more helpful, apologetic and professional in remedying an unpleasant experience. Just wanted you to be aware of this gentleman’s performance.
Have a good day. I will definitely return to Jason’s after the manner in which the problem was resolved.
Sincerely,
EADarling
