Food You Gonna Eat That?

Posted by Patrick Alan Coleman on Tue, Mar 31, 2009 at 2:13 PM

Just so you know, Kenny and Zuke’s might be serving this for lunch tomorrow should you request it:

The “DDD”: a deep fried, triple-decker reuben

Here’s how Nick “Zuke” Zukin describes it in his e-mail:

In the middle is the standard lovely reuben with 9-10 ozs of house-made pastrami, two slices of swiss, russian, and kraut. On top and bottom is another reuben, each with about 4 ozs of pastrami, and two slices of swiss cheese. That's over a pound of pastrami, 1/4 lb of swiss cheese, and a whole bunch of creamy russian all grilled together into a delicious mess. And as if that wasn't a cholesterol bomb waiting to explode in your heart, we went ahead and battered and deep-fried it. Hey, what can I say, we like to have some fun once in a while.

You call that fun? I call it a myocardial infarction waiting to happen. Wait, so did he. I guess he does call that fun. Further details are hard to pin down. If you do order it, and eat it all, it might be free. If you don’t eat it all, the price may be subject to Zukin’s whim.

I think I can eat the whole thing. I think I’m going to try. If I don't post tomorrow, suspect the worst (just keep your cheers to a respectful minimum). Stay tuned.

I would not put that in my body, but I would whip it at someone.

I want to bend that over a table and do obscene things to it.

I'd definitely eat a quarter of that. It's probably a good deal split four ways.

@Doogie

I'm fairly certain this sandwich was created at K & Z. I can't guarantee that if you go in to K & Z tomorrow that you will actually get one. I don't know. Thus all the "mights" and "mays" in the post.

There is a chance, though, and I'm willing to look like a fool by walking in, ordering a "DDD," getting laughed at, and then coming back to Blogtown to tell you all about it. That's the kind of commitment I have for this place... For some unknown reason.

That's the nastiest conglomerate of meat and cheese and whatever else I think I've ever laid eyes on.

Kenny and Zukes kicks ass, even if the staff is filled with idiot hipsters.

I can think of a couple people I want to eat a few of these. I care enough about them to buy one a day for them for as long as it takes.
