Full-on congrats are extended to ExtraMSG, THE Portland blog AND taco pioneer, on his and Ken Gordon’s recent soft launch of what will be undoubtedly known as one of if not the best delis on the West coast.
My 1.5 regular readers might recognize eMSG from his comments on this blog, calling me out as an idiot (sometimes without provocation — he likens himself to the supermensch — but mostly because I truly am an idiot). I can’t believe he had that much free time at one point in his life to run his blog and spread his authoritative vision amongst us mortals. I really can’t believe he has time for anything, really. He’s a rare breed.
Good luck guys, though you don’t need it. Things seem gangbusters out of the gate.
I’m including a picture (I stole it from their site, but they need to accept this) of the meatxtravaganza you’d be able to actually eat if you had $13. HOLY SHIT.
I get paid Tuesday.
Figure that sammich’ll feed me for the next 5 days?
I had the extreme pleasure of being forced to eat the Ken’s Special Sandwich: rye with the aforementioned thick (thick!) pastrami, coleslaw and a thin layer of chopped liver pate.
Forced I tell ya!
:swoon:
Can’t wait to do it again!
Without provocation? Isn’t stupidity and vehement wrongheadedness enough provocation? Supermensch perhaps, but I’m more interested in buying your house.
We’ll always have Gaffigan, though.
No, stupidity and vehement wrongheadedness is usually cause for celebration.
It’s difficult to tell from this vantage point whether they will consume the captive deli customers or merely enslave them. One thing is for certain: there is no stopping them; the Pastrami will soon be here. I’d like to remind them that as a trusted blogging personality, I can be helpful rounding up others to toil in their underground meat mines.
There’s nothing bad in that sandwich. It’s perfect as is, and I’ll defend its right to be eaten with my life. =b
