Imagine being a vegan missing out on all this deliciousness. No wonder most of them are miserable.
tourist trap
are they really throwing away all that meat or does it get used for something else?
They only serve 35 thousand pounds because they throw half of it away. And you pay for all of it. They are too lazy to trim the cheap meat they buy.
Looks amazing! I wish I could go.
4000 people a day and 70000 pounds a week, crazy numbers!
700k meat a week where comes this meat from its like mc donalds.
To compare cornet beef or pastrami to the price of a steak is diabolical
That price for the sandwich was promised to him 2000 years ago
Togos #9 pastrami charges $17 for a 9” $30 is not out of this world especially in EnWhy
The sandwich prices have gone bananas but they are worth it
These are probably the worst soups and sandwiches I've ever had in serving size per dollar.
not even toasted bun stop it
Idk how many times who comes up with introducing vidoes or sponsored paid videos.. its just a scam a tourist spot nothing more from what i remember and know, the food there is mid at best i go all over north NJ and NY… this place never interested me more than once or twice and even than i still don't remember if bad or good the food was.. for mid at best food I'm never in million years paying that much again screw that
Those prices are so democrat gahhhhh damnnn.
70,000 lbs a week???
What happens to the meat (end) they cut off and push down the counter?
Wow
I wish they were kosher
A 12 oz steak is 29 dollars, so we must be happy with a 12 oz sandwich costing the same should make us happy….Logic at it's finest
4000 customers a day
70,000 pounds of meat a week
4000 x 7 = 28000
70000 / 28000 = 2.5 lbs per serving.
prices are outrageous
30 dollars for lunch sheesh
My man said a 12oz stake for 30$ is comparable to a 12oz pastrami sandwich for 30 😂
At 30 bucks a sandwich they might as well wear a ski mask at the register!

LMAO having to train 20 years to cut meat i feel bad for those workers
Definitely not kosher. Us Jews gotta make money though
I love how Americans always say british food is so bad, then will literally eat a mountain of salted beef on plain white bread with boiled cabbage and call it Generational.
