Time. Now for another edition of Best of New Jersey, we went to Secaucus to try out the Carnegie diner. Take a look. We're gonna tackle pastrami for dinner but uh I can't do this alone. Sat a sandwich like this. We call it wow, pastrami. It's 16 ounces of meat. And um our pastrami is made from American Wagyu beef from Colorado and it's really phenomenal and I just like it plain as it is on rice. Let's do it. Let's have it. Hm. That's too good. And when you're shooting him in a comfortable booth, you remind me of Carnegie Hall in a place like that. So Carnegie diner was born. We're exactly across the street from Carnegie Hall in New York City or New York City. Our first story is on 57th and third and the seventh. And we pay hoage to all these amazing performers that they've been at Carnegie Hall. So you'll always see Carnegie all in the wall and you will see all this amazing performance from Frank Sinatra to Maria Callas to all these people that perform there. Speaking of amazing, we have not one layer. This is our 24 layers chocolate cake. This is our signature chocolate cake, which is really phenomenal. It's good for a table to serve like between two or more people. We're two or more people. So we don't want to let this go to waste. We wanna give the people a little bit. Absolutely. I mean, the food is excellent. I know you've been here a year and a half, many years to come. Congratulations and best of luck to you. Thank you for having us.
