Furey, Lutzker Win Celebrity Sandwich Contest At Reuben's Deli
Font size:
The votes are in - and five local celebrities, including Fox CT's Rachel Lutzker and Joe Furey, will have sandwiches named after them at Reuben's Deli in West Hartford.
Furey, Lutzker and sports director Rich Coppola competed alongside other well-known figures such as West Hartford mayor Scott Slifka, WFSB meteorologist Scot Haney and radio personality Brad Davis in the deli's celebrity sandwich contest. After 2,000 votes were cast in person and online, five winners - also including Slifka, Haney and Country 92.5's Bosh & Corey - were chosen.
Reuben's Deli will regularly donate proceeds of the overstuffed sandwiches to the celebrities' chosen charities. Lutzker and Furey have chosen Protector of Animals and The Bridge Family Center, respectively. Other organizations include the Connecticut Children's Medical Center, Channel 3 Kids' Camp and the Ivan Lendl Adaptive Sports Camp.
The sandwich combos, priced at $12.95, have not yet been "assigned" to each celebrity, said owner Brian Hersh, who plans to ask each person for their preferences. The menu currently lists six "to be named" plates, including meats like turkey, corned beef, chopped liver and pastrami.
