What the creator captured

Mark Wiens Abroad was stunned by the sheer scale of the Zellagabetski, an eight-story sandwich weighing over four pounds and featuring a variety of house-cured meats. He marveled at the traditional, labor-intensive process Ziggy Gruber uses to create authentic New York-style pastrami in Houston. Mark was particularly impressed by the massive menu and the legendary story of Shaquille O'Neal eating two of the skyscraper sandwiches in one sitting.
