Was visiting Chicago back in '83, and stopped by a small deli next to the freeway that goes to Waukeegan. I asked for an Italian sandwich. The guy guy said, -You want the regular, or the TBO? -What's that? -The Big One. -Gimme a TBO. It was THE Best sandwich I've ever had in my life. I love Chicagoland and especially the food!
This was taped in late 2012. That sammitch is now $15. I just retired from that deli after 24 years there. That manager (Dave) was the best guy you'd ever want to work for.
$20 for that kind of sandwich? No problem. Three meats and two cheese plus veg and dressing is a steal in the northeast. They were selling it for a song before. That's breakfast, lunch and dinner for a hungry short guy like me.
Ka'pella Nuwavin, you're correct. After taxes this one works out to just under $18. I had one last August on French bread (this is the Italian bread version) & after tax is added it's just over $20.
I couldn’t help noticing that this supermarket was next door to a Blockbuster Video. How convenient must that have been; buy your groceries and then walk in and rent some movies for the weekend. That must’ve been cool.
I know people like that in the film TV 🎬🎥📹🎞 business. They f%^& around & act like 12 year olds then wonder why they are 45 & not successful TV producers... 🙄
The cringe of seeing them try not to give him the bread and not take it back after he handled it. Having worked in a grocery deli that resonated with me.
Real talk: This guy is like a cheap and shameless knockoff of Alton Brown, but he's not nearly as annoying as Christopher Kimball was on America's Test Kitchen.
I'm from the suburbs of Washington state, you don't see things like that around here, don't franchise, that's the sort of thing, you go to Chicago for! eat one, which should hold you for about a year!
I would like to say too that “ Why won’t somebody open up a place like this in Thailand ? “ 🤔. This sandwich is look tasty and filled with many tasty ingredients . No way to find in Thailand . 🇹🇭🚫😂
The video host was annoying as %^&*. I've worked with "man child" zipper heads like this. They get bored doing location shoots so they talk over people, improv, 🙄, act like hyper 4 year olds or drag crew-by standers into "bits" ugghh... 😖...
Seeing how indecisive Ted was I knew he was going to get a combination sandwich. Potbelly sells the wreck sandwich, which like this takes up half your calories for the day.
He has no talent. He talks over the people hes interviewing the camera work 📹 is God awful. 🤭. I'm not Mr Hollywood but I know people who do film, TV work. Theyd make this guy cry. 😪
If I lived in that area and could get that sandwich, the first time I would put pastrami, ham and oven roasted chicken breast with Colby Jack and cheddar.
You just found guilty for making me starving. Your punishment is sending this sandwich to indonesia for 6 and must be arrived at my home with in 24 hours!
FairPlay staff unaware they even made sandwiches,even though a flyer describing them was on the counter. Help? Got supervisor ,she explained you had to call in an order one or better two days in advance. Lot of work for a lunch sandwich. Result : grocery shopper won't ever go back to FairPlay.
went there back when it was a&p... when i first went to fairplay people would smoke in the aisles as they pushed the shopping carts doing their shopping.
