Sandwiches Inspired By Skyscrapers

A famous Italian chef says he is creating a trio of sandwiches in the image of a skyscraper complex being constructed in Milan. Chef Gualtiero Marchesi, 79, said he already has the sandwiches, inspired by the Milan CityLife complex, planned out in his head but he is not yet divulging any of the ingredients.

While the world waits for Chef Marchesi,  here are some other skyscraper sandwiches for your consideration.


Carnegie Deli Pastrami Sandwich
854 7th Ave, New York NY 10019 (at 55th Street) 212-757-2245



The vile sandwich, over 12ft tall, and was created by George Lambert of Hackney.
This creation contained 500 slices of bread, 20 lettuces, 65 tomatoes, 30 bananas, 25 carrots, 1500g of cheese and, of course, the appalling spread, Marmite.
The only thing missing was Haggis.


Tommy Pastrami, a West Coast deli chain, in Orange County, CA.
For $12.95, you get the Skyscraper  pastrami sandwich, as well as two drinks and two dill pickles.
