carnegie deli

As long as their are celebrities, people will find odd ways to pay tribute to them. First, there was Jerry Seinfeld, who had a peanut butter sandwich named after him, and now the same honor has been bestowed on Jerry Springer, whose name has been given to a Carnegie Deli sandwich consisting of "pastrami, tongue, baloney, Swiss Cheese and Russian dressing." My guess is that they asked a blind man to make a reuben sandwich and this was the result. Sounds like an acquired taste to me, and a far cry from Seinfeld's peanut butter, honey, and cinnamon concoction. Maybe the sandwich is only part of the full dining experience, and to really appreciate it you need to have someone smashing a chair over your head and screaming at you to stop sleeping with their daughter's cousin's husband. The sandwich was created to celebrate the 3,000 episode of Springer's TV show.
