Do You Dare To Try And Finish This Monster Deli Sandwich?

Kenny and Ziggy’s Deli of Houston, Texas presents a challenge to all their customers.
It arrives in the form of the Zellegebetsky, touted as the sandwich that’s bigger than its name. It’s a colossal 8-decker sandwich on rye bread, corned beef, pastrami, turkey, roast beef, salami, tongue & Swiss cheese with cole slaw, Russian dressing & red sweet pepper. This 3.5 to 4 pound monster of a sandwich is the gastronomic test of a lifetime, costing $65.
Shaquille O’Neal took on the challenge with aplomb, consuming not one but two sandwiches. Only two other winners of this elusive challenge exist in the entire world.
If any patron can finish this sandwich with no outside help, they will receive a piece of cheese cake for free (and hopefully a ride to the hospital for a gastric bypass).
