Deli Famous For Dagwood Sandwich Destroyed By Fire

A South Side institution famous for its massive Dagwood sandwich burned to the ground this morning. Columbus firefighters were called to the Ohio Deli & Restaurant, 3444 S. High St. at Williams Road, about 3:15 a.m. after smoke was seen billowing from the building, a dispatcher said. Because of the intensity of the fire, firefighters used a defensive strategy and didn’t try to enter the building, emergency-radio communications indicated. Heather Hejduk has owned Ohio Deli with her husband, Eric, for 19 years. Everything was destroyed, she said.
