Manhattan in the Desert

Manhattan in the Desert posted about the filming of the show back in March, showing Casey Webb halfway through a pretty huge sandwich.

The challenge: Webb defeated the “Manhattan-sized Sandwich Challenge,” a 3+ pound deli sandwich piled with corned beef, roast beef, turkey, pastrami, lettuce, tomato, and Swiss on rye.

Challengers also choose a side. Webb opted for coleslaw over potato salad. For winning, he got a free dessert (somehow) and a free hat.
