The first time I ever tried Eisenberg’s it was years ago and it was the kind of perfect accident that only happens when you’re on the road and openhearted. I wasn’t living here then, but passing through, killing time on my way to somewhere else, and [...]

Second Avenue Deli is gone. Such a sad closing. They owed over $100k in back rent and the rent was being raised. Not good. My guess is that Abe, who was killed years ago ( an awful crime that has never been solved ), was the guy who ran the business. The other members of the family were obviously not as savvy, hence the back rent. I figure that if you are selling a corn beef sandwich for $18 and always packed, you should be able to run a decent profit. But, what do I know.

Last night, as I bit happily into my tuna sandwich, I pondered the age old question: is the sandwich the perfect food? I seem to recall my father and his father making that claim, and turning out some pretty fine (to a young man) sandwiches to prove that point. Not having had a family-made sandwich in a while, and harboring a comfort food craving, Eisenberg’s (5th Av. just north of 22nd St.) was my and my girlfriend’s destination last evening. This egoless locale may not declare its sandwiches to be perfect on the awning, but the case is pretty compelling.

Do You Like American Cuisine? I Like American Cuisine: Eisenberg's Sandwich & Philly Slim's
My brain and I have a healthy relationship. I give him books and avoid drugs more serious than Flinstone vitamins and he rewards me with pretty constant inspiration. Take the idea I had today: what if I had cultural weeks here at the Amateur Gourmet? Like on different weeks I'd be like: "It's Korean Week!" and then I'd cook Korean food and eat at Korean restaurants for a week. See: isn't my brain generous? My brain likes Koreans.

Some people count Mahatma Gandhi or Mother Theresa among their heroes, but for me, it could only be John Montagu, the 4th Earl of Sandwich. He was the first to have the masterstroke vision of putting meat between two pieces of bread, and ever since then, the world has never recovered. And while some may argue that the light bulb or the telephone have been bigger advances, I say, I'd rather eat a hoagie in the dark not talking to anyone than calling friends with the lights on and being hungry. So to celebrate the two hundred forty-three years since the Earl's innovation, Vince and I set off on our third gastronomic survey, the Sandwich World Tour.
