      Not to discredit him, but in ME, this is how it is ❤️ every mom and pop restaurant is like this. Maine is the state of family. Every place treats you, and makes you feel like you’re part of the family.

      Rodney you clown the dude is microwaving onions and cheese and slaps it on a piece of bread and calls it a sandwich how could you ever be happy to pay for that what a disaster after 30 years in the business you'd think he would find a way to serve hot food without it being nuked in the microwave YUUUK

      VERY early on, it was Colby College students who sat down on the floor of his "strictly take-out" sandwich shop to eat, who inspired him to expand and make in-house seating an option, at a previous location in Winslow. He subsequently moved to this location and, as he said, has expanded multiple times. I've been enjoying his incredible sandwiches almost since he first opened.

    Holy shit… I went here when I was a kid, must have been 2002 or 2003, and I brought a menu home because the sandwiches were so good/ thought the names were funny. Obviously that got misplaced over the years and I’ve never been able to find which sandwich shop it was even though I distinctly remembered ordering the Lucretia Borgia. What a trip stumbling open this video 20 years later, will definitely be going back the next time I’m up that way.

    Gerry seems like a genuinely good person devoted to his family and his restaurant. He wants people to slow down and relax for a bit and enjoy his food and maybe a bit of conversation instead of grabbing a sandwich and leaving immediately. I can definitely relate to that now that I’m older. I really appreciated him talking about rising so early to be able to clear his head and all the little tasks needed to keep his restaurant humming along. It’s meditation and it’s good for us. What a kind soul.

    Love his perspective that food is very important because its something we really do "need" and we look forward to it 3 times a day. Makes you think about people that work in food that really put hard work and love into what they make and appreciate them more.

      You cannot choose to be homosexual or heterosexual. Sexual attraction is innate. It is not governed by the cognitive part of the brain but the instinctual, older part of it, formed early in the womb. The feeling of falling in love or feeling infatuation are all involuntary neurological responses, not cognitive decisions. You cannot choose to make your heart beat faster, palms get sweaty, pupils dilate, blood rush to your skin, or feel butterflies in your stomach at the sight of someone. It simply happens naturally. If that response is only triggered by people of the opposite sex it means you are heterosexual. If it is only triggered by people of the same sex it means you are homosexual. If it happens regardless of the sex of the person, you are bisexual.
      Nor is sexual orientation a moral issue like murder or stealing their property. Someone being gay does not violate anyone else's autonomy, freedom, or human rights. Comparing sexual orientation to such things is as ridiculous and irrational as comparing left or right-handedness to such things.

      But seriously, I learned the mayo instead of oil trick from "Not Another Cooking Show". More specifically, it was the episode where he made "the Fort Greene Sandwich" that he used to sell at his food truck in Fort Greene
      I've been playing around with using a little bit of kewpie (Japanese Mayo which contains MSG) instead of Hellman's. It might be all in my head but I think the added MSG really kicks the flavor up a notch.
