4/22/2008 Carnegie Deli

Here we are at Carnegie Deli enjoying a meal before the big concert. Grammar Queen and True to Blue had to meet at the high school at 2:00, rehearse, and ride a bus to the concert. Fire Shot got to ride in the car with us and doesn't have to be at Carnegie Hall until 7. We met Uncle Cathy and Aunt Steve right outside Carnegie Hall and headed to this deli for dinner. Fire Shot LOVES pickles so it seemed appropriate that we picked a place famous for its pickles.


We'd heard they had big sandwiches here, but this is ridiculous. Check out the size of this BLT! Aunt Kathy sure was surprised (as were we all) when her sandwich arrived only a few minutes after placing the order. We found out later from our waitress that each sandwich has a pound of meat on it. If you order their double meat sandwich, you get 2 pounds of meat and the triple has--you guessed it--3 pounds of meat.

The egg salad sandwich is no slouch, either:

Uncle Steve ordered a hamburger. It's giant, too. And it's cooked fresh. So fresh that it took 20 minutes and the rest of our sandwiches only took 3-4 minutes. We all ate without him and then yacked and yacked and yacked while he enjoyed his hamburger. Aunt Kathy had enough B, L, and T left over that Uncle Steve was able to add a lot of nice "fixins" to his burger.
