" Michael Bloomberg has done a terrible thing: He&amp;#039;s forced Jon Stewart to agree with Fox News. Or at least so says Stewart. His problem? New York City&amp;#039;s proposed ban on giant sodas. Last night&amp;#039;s Daily Show takedown of the policy got particularly interesting, however, when Stewart brought up venerated Manhattan institution Carnegie Deli by way of not-very-flattering comparison: &amp;quot;Let me get this straight,&amp;quot; Stewart said on the show. &amp;quot;I can ... order fourteen pounds of pastrami garnished with seven pounds of beef tongue, and not only will the deli guy not go, &amp;#039;What? That&amp;#039;s the most ridiculous, self-destructive thing a person could ever order,&amp;#039; the deli guy will go, &amp;#039;Oh, you want the Mandy Patinkin.&amp;#039;&amp;quot;   The Daily Show Get More: Daily Show Full Episodes,Political Humor &amp;amp;amp; Satire Blog,The Daily Show on Facebook   What does Carnegie Deli have to say about all of this alleged gluttony? Eat Like a Man called up the restaurant today and talked to an employee who shared his with sympathies with the Big Gulp industry: &amp;quot;Well, that&amp;#039;s Bloomberg, right? He might come to Carnegie Deli and say, &amp;#039;You have to reduce the sandwiches, too.&amp;#039; We don&amp;#039;t know what&amp;#039;s going to happen.&amp;quot; On Stewart, he said simply, after an extended chuckle, &amp;quot;Well, you know, everybody has their own opinions.&amp;quot; But Carnegie is in the sandwich business, and that&amp;#039;s the one it&amp;#039;ll ultimately defend. &amp;quot;When you eat [one] in the restaurant, not everybody&amp;#039;s finishing, but everyone&amp;#039;s finishing their drinks,&amp;quot; the employee told us. And should it ever come to a ban, the deli probably has more passionate followers than the Starbucks Trenta: &amp;quot;People always complain, &amp;#039;Oh my God, I went out to eat and my portion was too small, and they charged me an arm and a leg.&amp;#039; So we give you a lot for your money. I don&amp;#039;t know if you&amp;#039;ve ever been here, but we have lines and lines. People are happy to come here and eat and get their money&amp;#039;s worth.&amp;quot; May the tongue-garnishing continue. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
