What justifies a $12.99 sandwich? Are they extra large? thanks.

Tue Oct 27 12:29:29 -0700 2009 5134624 178033 JanPrimus 1 5135630 A lot of high quality meat and bread, plus (presumably) markup, plus a brand recognized for good sandwiches. They are also pretty big. Tue Oct 27 15:49:34 -0700 2009 5134624 263371 kevin47 2 5135708 They're huge. Think of them as dinner and the price seems a lot more reasonable. I don't consider them overpriced. That said, I eat them at the source and have no idea how well they travel from Ann Arbor to Bloomfield.

My friend and I just went to Zing's in AA last month we split our sandwich and then got our own cookie. As Jim said, they are huge.....

Zingerman's isn't cheap, but I'd think you're better off going across the street to Deli Unique or down the strip to Stage than getting an "imported" sandwich at Plum.

If its already made, then forget about it! Thu Oct 29 06:28:33 -0700 2009 5136706 16249 Rheta 3 5140730 I honestly don't know, although it is curious why they would carry the Zingerman name if they're actually made at Plum Market. It's not like the area is so devoid of a decent deli sandwich Zingerman's is seen as the only option. Thu Oct 29 11:43:36 -0700 2009 5139718 92112 Fibber McGee 1 5149338 Hey Rheta, to my understanding the sandwiches are not Zingerman's sandwiches, but they are called Reuben's, they just use Zingerman's breads... And yes, they are HUGE! Also, they are not premade and packaged, but made to order. They're very satisfying! Mon Nov 02 10:33:20 -0800 2009 5134624 1121097 david g 2 5157683 My favorite sandwich in the world is a Reuben, sans Russian dressing. I like mine just with sauerkraut and mustard. I might need to try one of these Plum Market Reuben's! Thanks for your reply david. Thu Nov 05 06:45:52 -0800 2009 5149338 16249 Rheta 1 5170364 Thanks for confirming this. This makes a lot more sense than Plum getting whole sandwiches. There are people for whom the bread really makes the sandwich. Tue Nov 10 10:54:18 -0800 2009 5170338 92112 Fibber McGee
