"New Yorkers have their pick of sandwich options, so when one order sparks conversation online, you know it is worth checking out. Such is the case with Sal, Kris & Charlie's Deli in Astoria, where the majority of the deli's business centers on The Bomb, a behemoth of a sandwich that packs peppers, mustard, mayo, multiple meats, cheeses, and fresh veggies into an impressive stack. The deli has become known as The Sandwich King of Astoria, and it is easy to see why."
""That sandwich got me through two different breakups, it's literally the best sandwich I have ever had or even seen in real life, and two of them are enough to make your arms tired carrying them home. Props for this sandwich it is literally amazing," wrote a fan on Instagram. "The Bomb was my first postpartum meal. It was amazing," added another."
"Sal, Kris & Charlie's Deli opened in 1940 and has kept customers coming back through its consistent service and unforgettable creations. Though the Bomb's sheer size gives customers something to talk about, the fact that this sandwich remains intact, perfectly held inside sesame-seeded bread with a crunchy exterior, is a testament to the quality of ingredients. The Bomb layers roast beef, salami, ham, sliced chicken, turkey, mortadella, and pepperoni before the cheeses and veggies are piled on top."
Sal, Kris & Charlie's Deli in Astoria specializes in The Bomb, a three-pound, towering sub layered with roast beef, salami, ham, sliced chicken, turkey, mortadella, pepperoni, American and Provolone cheeses, and numerous toppings. The sandwich is built inside sesame-seeded bread with a crunchy exterior, designed to remain intact despite its size. Priced at $25, The Bomb is large enough to share and suits takeout or picnics because the deli lacks in-store seating. The deli opened in 1940 and maintains cash-only transactions. Customers describe The Bomb as a comforting, craveable meal for major life moments.
