If the parents hadn't been paying, Barry and I would not look so amused here as we munch down on the erstwhile remains of, get this, our $17 dollar sandwiches. The Carnegie Deli, I suppose, is world famous not only for its corned beef on rye, but also as the major cause of inflation in the 20th century.

Granted the sandwiches were of the continental, triple decker, fit for a Brontasaurus variety, but punkass Adam Sandler certainly didn't mention the prices when he sang about this place in the Hannukah Song.
