The name of this Bucktown deli, which translates to brown bag, seemingly refers to the sandwich offerings: subs, grinders and "hotties" (e.g., a juicy but otherwise average Italian beef), any of which could be taken to go. But with a back room for seating (and with the fairly time-consuming process of slicing meats to order, as in the mortadella, salami, capicolla and prosciutto on the standard Italian sub), it wouldn't be so strange to get that sandwich "for here" and save the brown bag for stocking up on fresh produce and Italian imports in the small market by the entrance.
