Famous sandwich shops

Dunno but I'll never forget the place my Dad used to take us to on Sundays.
It was called Eddie Leonard's Sandwich shop in Wash. DC


Eddie Leonard Sandwich Shops, you should try 'em
For the very best in sandwiches, just buy 'em
No matter where you are, you'll find that you're not far
From an Eddie Leonard Sandwich Shop.

Every sandwich will please, fifteen varieties
Open late every night, you'll enjoy a taste delight
Pick some up, take 'em home, once you do you'll never roam
From an Eddie Leonard Sandwich Shop.

So take that short drive, for a long, large measure
Of sandwich, and pizza pleasure
At an Eddie Leonard Sandwich Shop
You're never far from an Eddie Leonard Sandwich Shop.

I just watched a great show on the Food Network and the focus was famous sandwich shops. There were 2 or 3 in New York. Katz Deli was one of them but I recall at least 1 in New Jersey and a couple in Philadelphia.

Lindy's in New York was immortalized by Damon Runyon as Mindy's.

although it served more than sandwiches, the automat made a big impression on this 9 year old in NY for the first time

What's the famous sandwich shop on Broadway in the theatre district that names the sandwiches after actors? On the show, this place was mentioned also. The sandwiches were enormous!

Yes, we invented the Italian beef sandwich in Chicago. Suck it, New York!

Izzy's Deli (the original) in Cincinnati where all prices are arbitrary. The best Reuben I've ever had and it was really cheap if your cloth's looked like they were worked in.

Izzy was a real deli, kept kosher, and was loud, crowded, and great. Once I saw Izzy charge a guy $50 for a pastrami on white because he was insulting his pastrami.

And Izzy's Kentucky Hot Brown competes with anything Louisville has to offer.

Joe, when I have a layover at O'Hare I always get one of those Chicago hot dogs...what are they called...and the funny pickles?

Damn! I know what you're talking about, eoe, and I can't think of it either. It's not the Carnegie Hall Deli which also serves gigantic sandwiches.

In the Boston area, Kelly's Roast Beef on Revere Beach was always the gold standard for just one thing -- gobs and gobs of rare roast beef served on a bulkie roll. And back in the dear dark past the G&G Sandwich Shop on Blue Hill Ave. In Mattapan (we're still in the Greater Boston area, folks) was the place where elec tion campaigns wound up on the night before election day. But that was back when Blue Hill Ave. and most of Mattapan were largely Jewish rather than Haitian and Caribbean.

Stage Deli names a lot of sandwiches for actors & other celebrities.

By George, she's got it!

Kelly's! That place probably shortened my life expectancy by five years.

Schwartz's in Montreal

Don't know about it being Famous or even the Best but I've had many Chicago dogs"polishes, brats, italian sausages, vienna dogs, all of them" from this place and they were scrumdeli-icious!

Yes!

That would be the "Chicago Style Hot Dog."




Those would be the "Chicago Style Hilarious Pickles."
