I had a hot, delicious Muffaletta for lunch.

Maceo Spice & Import is famous in Galvestons history. Nowadays, it is for its Muffalettas, made of the finest Italian salami, ham, and provolone cheese in freshly baked round Italian bread
with a specially blended secret family olive dressing, the recipe of which is generations old.

The Maceos were one of the most famous organized crime families in America. For decades, they were running Texas’ most famous Gulf Coast resort town, Galveston.
Salvatore (“Sam”) and Rosario (“Rose”) Maceo, two brothers from a large clan of Sicilian immigrants to Texas, rose to prominence within a short time of their arrival
in Galveston, displacing rival gangs in the area and working as bootleggers, fixers, and drug smugglers during the heyday of Prohibition.
One of their other properties, the Balinese Room became the premier entertainment venue in Galveston: a place where drinking and gambling flowed nonstop,
and where national celebrities such as Frank Sinatra and Tony Bennett were known to perform.
The family had many other businesses, including owning the Desert Inn in Las Vegas.
