Peasants Deli Now Serving Solvang’s Sandwiches

The Cherney family can now say they opened not one but two restaurants in Solvang during the pandemic. The couple behind Peasants Feast — which opened inside a refurbished greenhouse back in April 2020 — is now running Peasants Deli & Market across the street in the former home of The Bread Shop. Their intent is to provide “something that’s been really missing” from the Danish-themed, tourist-crawling city: a selection of gourmet goods from around the world. 

So what sets Deli apart from Feast? The latter is not about the sliced meat — Feast’s bag is more burgers, tacos, fried chicken, and salads. Deli, however, is the Cherneys’ chance to go hard on, well, deli-style sandwiches. 

“On our days off, I would just go and try to find a really great sandwich,” said Michael Cherney, who created the Peasants brand alongside his wife, Sarah Cherney. “And I couldn’t find one, not around here at least. So I figured, why not try to make our own?”
