At times like these I like to remind myself (and your fine self) of the Caplansky family creed: Non Illegitimiti Caburundum. Translation? "Don't let the bastards grind you to the ground". Those words have seen me through the darkest times in my life. Even when everyone said I was crazy, even when I was homeless and friendless and penniless I never gave up on myself. I held onto those words and things got better. Dear man, there are haters and doubters and critics in this world. I don't give a shit what any one of them posts anonymously. The only people I care about are the ones who care enough to tap me on the shoulder (or send me an email) and let me know how we did. People who hide behind false names on anonymous websites? Who cares? Although its kind of flattering. Makes me feel like an artist. Some will love me and some will not. But to make people FEEL something? Wow! Who knew I had that kind of power? Dr. Seuss also said something that has always meant a lot to me: "Be who you are and say what you feel because those who matter don't mind and those who mind don't matter." Thanks Marc.

I resigned from Chowhound, as I have become increasingly turned off the ignorant and personal,bigoted,nasty snobs & foodies who think they're the Orson Welles of Chowdum. I have been to alot of delis in my 53 years, Zane,yours is the best. The quality of your fatty smoked meat sandwiches, verst on rye and verst with eggs, lox,cream cheese, fries, desserts, service,coffee, pickled tongue,coleslaw,rye bread,pickles is perfect. a treat for the eyes, mouth,palate,senses. To me you are the heir to Sam Shopsowitz. I mean it with all my heart. To the chowhound snobs who complain about your fries, expletive deletive. To me your fries are the best, bar none. Your smoked meat sandwiches are rich,joyful to eat, your desserts amaze me-they're soo good. You keep on doing what you're doing-onward and upward. Zane,I hope you win.

Can't say that I've sampled the others yet, but I pretty sure that it's going to take a monumental effort to beat you and your team. Best of luck. Looking forward to it Zane.
