Can you eat a 6.5-pound Reuben sandwich in an hour? Kravitz Deli unveils eating challenge
At Kravitz Deli, a lot is going on this Friday for National Sandwich Day Celebration.
To honor the holiday, the longtime Youngstown-based deli is serving up special deals.
From 10 a.m. - 7 p.m. this Friday, customers will choose any regular six-ounce deli sandwich with extra meat for $11.99.
Kravitz also added something new to the menu: The Big Reuben Challenge.
The Big Reuben Challenge at Kravitz Deli is an hour-long contest for extreme eaters.
Challengers will have to eat a 6.5-pound full-loaf sandwich.
It’s a $25 Reuben sandwich with two pounds of corned beef.
The Big Reuben is topped with half a pound of Swiss cheese, one pound of sauerkraut or coleslaw and a cup of thousand island dressing.
It’s served with a pound of house-cut fries and a 32-ounce draft beer or fountain soda pop.
Taking on the Big Reuben
Here are some of the rules:
- You only have an hour to finish it and you can’t take any breaks.
- All three items will be served at the same time.
- A Kravitz employee will keep the official time.
- The meal must be finished, including sandwich toppings, fries and drink.
- The sandwich must be completely swallowed by the end of the hour.
- None of the sandwich may be dropped on the floor or table.
