Dude's Sandwich Review

[Dude]

I’ve been holed up in the office today w/ the door closed, so Mrs. Dude took it upon herself to go get me a Subway Sandy. My usual fallback, Meatball (solid 3 / 5 toothpicks).

But, she comes back w/ the Lobster. She didn’t tell the clerk it was for Dude’s Sandwich Review, so I am now $12.00 poorer.

So I ask the missus, why the lobster?

Well, apparently Subways tuna sucks, and they no longer do the seafood sub (which, BTW, was pure money for imitation seafood)…so she got the Lobster. She is a Lobster aficionado. When all the other wives get a Caesar, she gets a ****ing lobster. So worries honey, the kids don’t need to eat this week. She must think I make Ragerforever money.

Anyhow…

I ask her what her rating would be, out of 5 toothpicks, based on bun / meat ratio, taste, and price. She gave it a very generous 2. Taste was OK, enough meat / bun, but way too pricey (like she really gives two effs). She also said, “I think I’ll just go to Abduls up on Kingsway for a roasted lamb wrap next time”.

Abdul is excellent, and if he truly made sandwiches, he’d make the review. But, reviewing a wrap is almost as bad as calling a burger a sandwich.

Freddy- you’ve been warned.

Canegie Deli, though Sixfyv insists Kat's is better.

Locally, can't beat Caplan's Deli on Oak. Buy a jar of garlic pickles to take home. You won't be disappointed.

It's Katz's Deli... Now fcuk off! I have a tee time in an hour.

Here are a couple of pics of my favorite new york sandwich!

PS... went to Kaplans on the weekend. $12 sandwich. Meh.

[girth]

That sandwich looks awesome! How much again? Reminds me of a girl I use to go with.

Now come on. If you're willing to pay $16.70 for a sandwich at Katz's, you should have paid the $12.25 for MORLEY'S MEGAMERGER- Lotsa corned beef, lotsa pastrami and swiss cheese.

Seriously, it is a cadiac arrest, and barely any bread for a mountain of fatty goodness.

Granted, I've tasted the Corn Beef at Carnegie, and Kaplans, but not Katz's. Canegie is world renound, as is Katz's, as having the best around, anywhere. I've heard Swartz's in Montreal is amazing, too, but in two visits so far this year to the great city, the great Deli has eluded me. Long story short, the Corn Beef at Kaplans is TOP NOTCH, and honestly, you are pretty much a full on jew by the time you leave the place. IMO, you can't go wrong at Kaplans, now with a location downtown.

Appologies on the spelling in the previous post. I'm blaming the 45-yes- 45 minute drive into the office from Langley to Burnaby at 5:15. Truly stupid. It's a wonder we don't have more people looking to jump off bridges.

[sixfyv]

I have been to Shwartz's in Montreal as well. Fan-freakin-tastic. But Katz's is better. There are no french people around.

FFS, Sixfyv, do you want a bit of bread with that blood? :sick:

[sixfyv]

i had no idea you were a vagitarian...

[Priory Boy]

Good choice Wired Monk owned by a soccer nut family and deserving of support. Don't mention "hazing"

[Dude]

Too much bread at Wired. Tell them to ditch the focacia, and double the meat, then maybe Dude will review them again.

[Captain Shamrock]

I'm not a vagitarian, I LOVE THE COKC!


I DO love the cokc.................

...and who logged on to Blooterville's computer at 3:18 am this time?

Went to Quiznos today, I usually go for the Honey Bourbon Chicken, But decided to go for the Creamy Bacony Chicken Carbonara today...

Haven't had the Carbonera for a while...

With chain resteraunts you would think that they could have some consistency to the slop they serve on a daily basis...

This one was too dry and the chicken was cold...not toasted enough.

But the Pickled Peppers makes up some taste points...

1.75/5 toothpicks.on the first half, not sure if I want to endeavor the second half or not, maybe just skip roght to the French Onion Sun Chips and wash it down with the Pomegranate Green Tea.
