What happened to the portion sizes? Sheesh, my regular roast beef was puny.

Well, that serves you right! ;D

Simple.  Prices haven't gone up appreciably in a long time.  To compensate, they serve you less food.  Look at portion sizes in packaging at the market, same thing there on pre-packaged garbage.

I sent Arby's an e-mail on this. I normally do not b!tch about stuff like this. On occasion, though, I send these to see how its handled.

Good luck guido, a regular roast beef has been the size of a junior for about eight years, and a junior is about worthless.

Smaller portions for the same price have been happening since I can remember.  The earliest I recall at the moment is when a nickel candy bar (Hersheys, Snickers, Milky Way, etc) stayed a nickel but lost about 1/4 of their size.  Then a 1 pound can of coffee only contained 13 oz.  And so on.

So, I guess this makes you a b!tch?

Where can I go to get a decent deli sandwich in South Tulsa where I don't leave feeling like I got bent over a sink?

What does Marcellus Wallace look like?

You can't. 

Big Al's at 15th and Harvard used to be very good, but been so long, I don't know how they are now.  There is a Bill and Ruth's at about 53rd and Mingo that is better than the average B & R, but not really great. 

If you find one, let me know. 

The only other decent place I know of is at one of our offices, but you won't want to travel that far - near OKC.  The lady that does the sandwiches is an artist and they are always 'overstuffed'.  For $2.75.  Gotta love it!

Eff it. Going to buy deli from Seigis and make my own. I got hot peppers and special mustard from Philippe's in LA (home of the French Dip sandwich--get some on-line right now), and I can make my own Italian bread. Who's hungry?

That's the best way!! 

When do we eat?

Hmmmm....special mustard!  Spicy, I hope!  With a little horseradish!!

The mustard:

I bought ten jars of the hot peppers!!!

Do you speak English?

I dare you....

He looks like a b!tch. :o

Bee !tch, try the Boston Deli.

Stole my thought.  Ken does have the closest thing to a real NY deli here in Tulsa.

For those not in the know, Boston Deli is at 61st & Sheridan in the center off the NW corner.

I had lunch at The Hamlet on 91st & Sheridan the other day.  The hot ham and cheese sandwich was very good.  Served with tabouli & chips for $6.

Not exactly a pastrami on rye but we stopped at a Bueno to get our fix the other day and the portions were sad.

I'm sure the smaller amount of fat and calories was a good thing but these tacos looked like they were made by Chef Smurf.

I held one of them up with my index and thumb and asked my wife "What the crap is this?".

Yum!  I forgot about Hamlet!  (Shows how long it has been since I was there...)

Do they sell fresh sliced meats and cheeses to go or do they only sell sandwiches?

Last I was there, yes.  I believe there is even a separate entrance on the south side of the building.

Had the Italian beef sandwich at Savastanos. Massive sandwich with awesome flavor.

I'm convinced everything at Savastano's is massive.  If I lived much closer to Savastano's I'd be massive as well.

Buy a large deep dish and feed on it for a few days.  You'll be able to avoid that place for months.  Worked for me.

I did that once. Used it for bench pressing.

At first I really enjoyed it but by the end it was just kind of sad...

We got a couple of hams from Hamlet for the Christmas celebrations.  Yum!
Gotta go back more - has been too long.
