Restaurateurs Discover Spitzer + The News Cycle = Fun

Over at Eater they just obtained a pic of the Client #9 on tap over the popular Lower East Side bar/restaurant (heh) Spitzer’s Corner. Meanwhile, Gobble snapped a pic of this wonderful sign at Eisenberg’s Sandwich shop and did a genius interview with owner Josh Konecky to boot:

Me: So, who came up with the sandwich?

Josh Konecky, owner [He is wearing his customary ponytail, and a loud
shirt bearing the print of hundreds of swirling cups of coffee]: Spitzer came up with it. [pause]. No, I came up with it. Did you already order?

Me: Yeah. I didn’t order the tongue.

Konecky: What’d you order? The chicken?

Me: No, the roast beef.

Konecky: A lot of people don’t like tongue. Tongue is delicious! Funny how people will eat one part of the cow, but not another.

Me: So how many have you sold today?

Konecky: A couple. [Gestures to the lunch counter]. Someone’s eating one over there right now. [Another regular walks in.] Jim, you gonna order The Spitzer?

Jim: [Looks up at a neon orange sign advertising the sandwich, "You
just gotta try Sandwich No. 9," clenches fist, grins and softly taps
the counter with his fist]. Yeah, I’ll have mine with mustard!
