In our local supermarket, they're now selling Boars' Head meat and condiments. Also sandwiches. They make these thick sandwiches with roast beef, pastrami, turkey, etc. The Boar's Head deli meat is incredible. The sandwiches look like a commercial they're so stacked with meat and cheese. We've been on a kick where we've been buying a couple sandwiches a week. I tried their pastrami and it was delicious. We finally figured out to buy the cheese and meat and use our own bread and dressings and we'd save more. Still for a quick lunch or dinner, the sandwiches are great. Now @Al Kraft I want a pastrami sandwich!

Where there is pastrami, there is coleslaw.

Who am I kidding? Tonight I made Swiss chard, and a broccoli stuffed chicken breast. What I saw just recently that rocked my world was a street menu sign advertising an oyster BLT. "August," I thought, nope, too soon for oysters and getting late on tomatoes, so, hey come back next week? Did that, no oyster BLT special.
Nice place. Loads of patio seating. Locally owned. Creative. Never been. Because of the Thing that's Going Around, they're open only two days a week for lunch (outdoors).

Sometimes when I walk by places like this, I look at the people in line outside and think, "you're all going to die." I like a slice of tomato in mine. You gotta have the slaw, a dill pickle, and fries.

If you need to bookend Katz' then the other half has to be Pink's in LA.
FIFY
A plate of sours, yes.
But that much meat is way too much for me these days. Split an order of fries and I'm full. I need to spread the sandwich out over a couple of days. Most people can pack that sort of meal in, then they go for dessert.

I agree. That much of a samich is overkill. That much of a half a samich is overkill too.
Watching Food Network, et al, I've noticed that various places try to make the biggest ______ Sammich. If I can't get it in my mouth-which isn't small-without separating it, it ain't a sammich no mo'.
If I knew I was going to Katz's-or a similar deli-I'd pack a zip-loc in my pocket and take about 1/2 the pastrami/corned beef off for later.
How about the hard-wired toilets that don't flush when the power goes out?
Please (insert deity of your choice)!
Take me, now!Hardly, accidental!
I'd also cause consternation by putting mayo
-and mustard-on it.

NOOOOOOO!!! Spicy brown mustard is the only acceptable choice!!!
Now I'm consternated!

The manliest sammich dates at least to The Dagwood and probably back to the last ice age.
I carry a fake ID to order from the children's portion menu. (retread joke) okay I know a few places that offer half portions. A few places that aren't open right now .... I like the wee fish and chips.

I'm not a big seafood fan, but that looks amazing.
One of the great inventions(?) of our time is Hellmann's Dijonnaise. I've been known to take a squeeze bottle with when going to a sammich joint. Little local hot dog place. Chili, cheese, and onion dog with Dijonnaise(or horseradish mustard) and tater tots.NOOOOOOO!!! Spicy brown mustard is the only acceptable choice!!!
Now I'm consternated!
Just how long do you plan on living, anyway?
