York Knick until Wednesday night, good money had the former Denver forward
heading to the Big Apple ahead of any other destination since he made an
unofficial trade demand last summer. So New Yorkers have had half a year to
cobble together a tribute of sorts to the incoming All-Star, in their typical
over-the-top NYC fashion.
Which is why the Carnegie Deli has introduced a sandwich –
or skyscraper of cured meats posing as a sandwich — to celebrate Anthony’s
arrival.
"The Melo" starts with your typical pastrami on rye, good
start there, and finishes off with salami, bacon, lettuce, tomato, and Russian
Dressing.
The
New York Daily News was the first to break the story:
"We threw in bacon because he’s
gonna bring the bacon back to New York," said owner Sandy
Levine. "And the salami – it’s a spicy meat – he’s going to spice up
the team and spice up the fans."Even the Russian dressing has
meaning. Levine finished off the $22 sandwich with a slather of the dressing as
a playful jab at Nets owner Mikhail
Prokhorov, who failed to snag the four-time All-Star.
Nice shot, Carnegie Deli.
It is true that Prokorov did fall
short in acquiring Anthony, but let’s face it, New Jersey failed to acquire Carmelo Anthony. Anthony wanted to be
a New York Knick. He didn’t want to be a New Jersey Net, and then a Brooklyn
Net (or whatever the team will call itself) in 2012. If anything, Prokorov’s
potential package for the Nuggets was more of looker than New York’s, but the
heart wants what it wants, and Carmelo wanted New York.
And I want that sandwich. One order
of "The Melo," and I’m fed for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
