Hi everybody,
Sadly being from europe prevents me from trying this sandwich out,
anybody here in the neighbourhood wants to try and order it? I am curious how it tastest and if u can still order it!
During the past year, Rick's Diner, Pauly Dogs and Quenchers-three popular campus eateries-have each named a menu item after a few regular customers.
"Tyler came in here on a Friday night... and told one of our third shift cooks, Jermaine, to make the biggest club sandwich he could," said Vincent Brown, general manager of Rick's Diner. "Tyler even set his own price for the sandwich-$20."
The way sophomore Tyler Wasieleski tells the story, he originally wanted a challenge to see which cook could make the better sandwich. Only Jermaine Brown, a third-shift cook at Rick's Diner, however, was willing to participate in the endeavor.
"Jermaine was totally down for it, and I'm like, 'Alright let's do this,'"Wasieleski said. "We started throwing on all types of meats... piling it onto one sandwich, and we dubbed it The Tyler sandwich. It's really good, and it's really big."
The original Tyler sandwich was a double club with extra meats. "Jermaine made this enormous sandwich," Vincent Brown said. "Tyler was just so excited. And it took him and three other friends to eat it."
Since that night, the popularity of the sandwich has grown by word of mouth.
