Conan O'Brien, the charismatic host of the talk show 'Conan O'Brien Needs A Friend,' is urging listeners to try his mouthwatering corned beef sandwich. In a recent episode, Conan discussed the ongoing saga of his sandwich creations with Jay Elmore, the owner of a deli in New York who has been selling these delectable treats.
Previously, Conan had playfully attributed his sandwich's sales success to the American flag decoration it featured. However, Jay decided to remove the flag and restart the tally to level the playing field. According to the latest update from Jay, a total of 551 sandwiches have been sold so far. Sona's Euro sandwich is leading with 172 sales, closely followed by Conan's corned beef with 186 sales, and the Maddie melt with 193 sales.
Excitingly, both Conan and the Maddie melt are expected to cross the 200-sales mark soon. Conan is particularly determined to win, and he's calling on his listeners to give his sandwich a try. If you happen to be in New York City, head over to EJ's Luncheonette, located on Third Avenue between 73rd and 74th on the Upper East Side. Jay, the owner, is an amiable gentleman who personally chatted with Conan about creating these sandwiches.
Conan's creation, aptly named the Conan O'Brien (or simply the Conan), consists of corned beef, Russian dressing, and coleslaw. It's a terrific sandwich that truly captures the essence of a classic deli delight. Conan believes that name recognition is vital in this friendly competition, and he's asking all his dedicated listeners to order his sandwich.
In a playful tone, Conan even promises that if you mention that you had his sandwich when you see him around New York City, you might receive a quick hug and a selfie. However, he admits that he doesn't carry much cash on him, so he might not have any form of payment for you. But don't worry, he has a plan to support his sandwich's sales by sending his assistant, David, to buy an abundance of them.
While Conan promotes his sandwich, he graciously gives Sona's Euro and the Maddie melt their fair share of attention. Sona's Euro is a healthy Greek gyro sandwich, bursting with flavor, while the Maddie melt is a patriotic creation on Hawaiian bread. Conan playfully engages in banter about the cultural origins of their sandwiches, highlighting the diversity of cuisine.
Ultimately, Conan wants his listeners to eat whatever sandwich they find delicious. He encourages individual choice and dismisses attempts to sway preferences. Whether you prefer his corned beef creation, Sona's healthy Euro, or the mouthwatering Maddie melt, Conan's priority is for his listeners to enjoy themselves.
The saga of these sandwiches, which has unfolded on Conan O'Brien Needs A Friend, continues to capture the attention of fans everywhere. With the promise of a potential in-person resolution, Conan and Jay's sandwich battle is sure to entertain viewers even further. Keep watching for more updates on this hilarious and delicious competition.
