Tuesday, January 22, 2008

One lucky day last week I had a sandwich epiphany: I was working within walking distance to the new 2nd Ave Deli! “Holy crap,” I thought, I need to sample those tasty sandwiches.

Hot Sausages, not Boring Hot Dogs

Tuesday, July 17, 2007

Skip those disgusting pureed hot dogs and grab a delicious hot sausage. They’re just as easy to make and taste millions, no, billions of times better. One day, I’m going to get rich pushing a grilled sausage cart around they city!

Better than Brooklyn

Friday, June 29, 2007

Here’s a classic sandwich masterfully prepared. Notice the little bit of russian dressing leaking through the bread. This one is delicious but must be eaten quickly or it can get soggy. It also may require strategic hand placement so the delicious pastrami doesn’t fall out the back.
Ingredients:

Pastrami
Swiss cheese
Coleslaw
Russian dressing
Spicy mustard
Rye bread
