"Kevin and I opened Mean Sandwich and launched 'Jersey Night,' where we’d make all of our favorites: fried calamari with marinara, funnel cake, subs (using banh mi buns because we couldn’t find the real thing), whole lobsters, the works. East Coast transplants would flock and gush about how they couldn’t find this kind of food in Seattle. It’s true, we’d say. We miss it too. Eventually we added a traditional Italian sub to our menu full-time. We still get customers who order it and say, 'I’m from New Jersey, and I’m here because I heard you guys make the real deal.' It seemed we were the only ones." - ByAlex Pemoulie
