Cameron’s 24/7 Deli, located in Cross River New York, fame has been extended to Michigan. A Middlebury Lacrosse teammate of my son came to visit for a weekend and where do you think the first place he went to eat was? If you guessed Cameron’s 24/7 Deli, you’d be correct. Check out what he had to say about the famous Cluck’en Russian sandwich. Ryan was one of the players on the bus that was drooling over the sandwich we took for my son and his roommate at an away lacrosse game.

I found myself hungry at lunchtime yesterday without anything to eat and after receiving so many comments about my previous posts about the Cluck’en Russian (every word being true), I decided to make a Cameron’s run. I found it to be too much of a sandwich for me so I shared it with a co-worker, who agreed, it was very tasty and memorable. So, the next time you are in Cross River New York, stop at Cameron’s and try the Cluck’en Russian.

While showing homes in Katonah and South Salem to a Russian couple, we drove by Cameron’s Deli, where they are famous for their Cluck’en Russian sandwich. I thought it would be of interest to my clients since they are Russian so I told them my story about the deli’s famous sandwich.

When my sons were in High School they would drive 20 minutes out of their way with their friends any time of day or night to Cameron’s for their favorite sandwich, the Cluck’en Russian. Turns out, my children were not the only ones who would make the trek to Cameron’s, which is why it is famous. This deli is open 24 hours, 365 days a year and is located at 890 Cross River Road in Lewisboro, NY. It is a short distance from the John Jay High School and Middle School and is in an area where most stores and restaurants close early, and that makes Cameron’s the hot spot in the area!

After my son went to college, my husband and I would stop by Cameron’s on our way to see his Lacrosse games and pick up a Cluck’en Russian and surprise him and his roommate. I wish we had taken a picture, to see their faces light up at the sight of their favorite sandwich was priceless! After having dorm food for 8 months one bite was all it took to send them to heaven and back. Eating the sandwich on the bus ride back to the College caused quite a commotion as all the players were wondering where they could get one. After much gratitude for the sandwich, a confession came out. I was informed that when they were in High School my boys would often sneak out of the house in the middle of the night and risk being grounded if caught, for this famous sandwich.

My Russian clients gave it a try and said it reminded them of a traditional Russian chicken meal they prepared except they did not serve it on a roll. The sandwich is made with a warm chicken cutlet, topped with melted Muenster cheese, bacon and Russian dressing. Cameron’s now has another lover of the Cluck’en Russian, my clients. So if you want something special and unique, stop by and give it a try. There are also many other wonderful sandwiches and hot meals to choose from but none are as famous as the Cluck’en Russian.
