One of the perks of being Carmelo Anthony coming to New York City is that the world famous Carnegie Deli will name a sandwich after you.
We get more from CBS New York:
NBA foodies can wash down their elation while watching Carmelo Anthony’s MSG debut with the Melo Sandwich, a mixed-meat concoction cooked up by the famous Carnegie Deli.Russian Dressing?, I guess even Mikhail Prokorov can enjoy this sandwich.
According to TMZ, Carnegie’s has already launched the sandwich. But like Carmelo, it comes with a price.
$21.95, to be exact.
The towering delight is NBA sized, indeed. The Melo is overflowing with bacon, salami, corned beef, pastrami, tomato and russian dressing. And what better bread to layer the sandwich filling between than a New York City staple — hulking slices of rye bread.
