Best Answer
I'm not sure which part of the phrase is confusing, but I'll give it a shot.
A "cold cut" is another name for a thin slice of cold processed meats or other cooked meats. Examples include thin-cut ham or baloney.
If someone is the "cold cut king", then presumably that person either sells a lot of cold cuts (slices of cooked or processed meats), or eats a lot of cold cuts.
Naming a location implies that the person is known throughout that area for eating or selling a lot of cold cuts.
