"I'm going through the seaside town today and see Sal for the first time. I'm hungry as it gets, so I guess why I don't shoot it. I haven't seen a good Italian deli since I left a new York, and I felt a little homesick. Now remember, I'm extremely pretensioned. I used to have an Italian restaurant at Upstate NY. I give the phrase food a new meaning. And as an Italian, of a long series of food snobs, I don't expect much when I run through the doors. Immediately I'll settle if I don't see a pastrami in the menu. No pastrami? In an Italian deli? I debate at this point, but I spy a can Stanislaus on a shelf. That's my interest. Had 't seen a can of it since mixing batches of Super Dolce and 7/11 back into the day when I rockin from my own sauce. So I'll stay. I'll give him a shot. I order the Italian Beef Dip. After a few minutes I sit in my car open this bag, not yet expected much more than a typical sandwich. I'm mentally prepared for the worst. Then I'll pull that bad boy out of the box. I'm amazed right now. At first glance, I notice the role. It looks like it's from an Italian bakery. Fotis, just better. I open the cup au jus and put it on my dashboard. The smell alone is intoxicating. So I'll take this sub and tear a bunch off. I wonder at the super light fluffy roll, roasted directly to perfection. I drown this poor bunch of Sub in the au jus. I kill it as if I owed money. No mercy, no repentance. I take it and pour it into my mouth, and angels wept. Beef was so fucking tender. The cheese was melted directly to the point of the slightly crispy Bubbelly fantasy. And the juice, oh my God. The juice. The au jus that came with this sub could simply become my new favorite drink. Yeah, I admit, I'm a fat ****. I drank the Au Jus. It was so good. Seriously. I felt back in my hometown in Upstate New York. The taste, the crispy, the aroma. This is by far the most casual food I've eaten. Period. I'm sorry, Dad, I know you were proud of your Italian food, but this place is the bomb. Oh and Sal, whoever you are... Get a pastrami man. Seriously."
