John's Deli in Bensonhurst, Brooklyn was founded in 1968 by John Cicero. It has been voted as the home of "the best hero in Brooklyn". This #hero is the "John's Signature Hot Roast Beef with Mutz and Gravy" which consists of a half-pound of thinly sliced #roastbeef and two slices of #mozzarella, carmelized onions and dark gravy on a long hero roll. We love their #vintage #sign with its unique #font spelling DELI as well as the #script "John's".
I used to live a couple blocks from here on W13th. They spoofed this sandwich on an episode of 30 Rock called "Sandwich Day" when the teamsters would reward the staff at 30 Rock once a year with sandwiches from an "unknown location" just like the ones at John's, dipped in gravy.
