Hmmm..we might need to take up a pre-trip collection. As far as I know, you can leave Carnegie with pastrami only. I wonder how that would taste on some TNT homemade bread....

I think it's cheaper to buy the sandwiches than it is to buy meats by the pound. And while TNT's bread is great, I want my pastrami on rye bread. B-) :D

If CathyCA is really going to do a Carnegie Deli run, I'd like to toss my order in, and will be happy to pre-pay.

If she isn't able to make a Carnegie Deli run, I'm okay with that too.

Way to go, Cathy!! When I read in another thread you'd been to the outlet I was looking forward to reading a post like this.

Ladies of the Triangle area, we should plan a trip to the Talbot's outlet in Charlotte.
