Patter VS Footer

This is my favorite submission to date sent in by Greg Scalo "serious meat's" older brother nuff said
"In response to the 6 ft hero post from a few weeks ago I bring to you another party staple and a must, the meat platter. In some ways I prefer the meat platter over the footer. Nothing chaps my ass more than walking up to the footer and see it mangled. The tops of the bread are left behind, people peeling off the meat they dont like, and the lactose intolerant leaving behind the cheese. With the meat platter, the sandwich is at the discretion of the craftsman.

This meat platter was hand rolled by myself and my girlfriend at a party up in Johnson City, NY. Serious Meat was in attendance, but he was performing keg stands and challenging people to arm wrestling matches while this roast beef, turkey, ham, salami, provolone, and american cheese orgy was being constructed. In addition to the platter, there were various types of rolls, rye bread, and this amazing cheese bread from Wegmans.

As an added bonus, I included a picture of myself from my sandwich making days at Little Italy Deli in Monroe, NY in 2001. Renee Russo loved how sliced her cold cuts.

Big Ups to Bill Opper."

The Scalo family has a stronghold on the sandwich game

Vizzi's

Steve Russell is holding it down in buffalo right now and took some time out to share these slamwiches with us

"A steak and chee sub, a monster burger, and a monster burger with bacon from Vizzi's in Buffalo"

Pizza For President

Franks Famous Italian pizzeria aka Ma Ma Mia's on monmouth st in Jersey City is hands down my favorite pizzeria of all times. The pizza is unbelievably delicious! huge and cheep. And the atmosphere is what it is, a laid back neighborhood pizzeria dedicated to providing the people with delicious affordable food. Large pies for $5? Cheese burger fires and a can for 2$? chicken parms for 3.50? 75 cent burgers that are not even close to skimpy? and a slice so big you can hang glide home on it for 2$? you wont find that anywhere but this place. And the good man who owns this establishment Frank Scalcione is running for Jersey City council and has our full support, last time I was in there he was being interviewed by a newspaper reporter. In a day and age that crappy small slices are being sold in the city for 3.25plus tax ?!?! we need to show love to a place like this. On some days if frank is feeling extra generous his monster slices are only 1$. If you find yourself in downtown JC and need a slice do your self a favor and stop on by, but don't be confused by the pizzeria next door on the left don't even waste your time Franks is the real deal!
