from his mouth: "Tell everyone maybe I change my mind in January and stay, I can always change my mind"

This was uploaded 2 days ago, video really shows his character

Planning on going there for the first time very soon :fullofwin:

Worth the drive from East Van just to try their sandwich?

EDIT: Just read that they are closing. I'm going!

Always wanted to try the sandwich out.. Now seeing that he's closing I have more motivation to go.

Is there usually a line up during Monday lunch ?

In my experience, he always runs out of bread.

I told him once to just give me all the meats minus bread. He told me to fuck off and proceeded to make me a great sandwich.

I love that man.

Thanks, I'll probably make my way out there tomorrow.

been going here for years for lunch (30 min drive from work, 1 hour round trip WORTH IT!)

Went on Saturday. Kept asking me if my name was Ben Hong for some reason, and just continued calling me that after I told him I wasn't lol.

Incredible sandwich though. I told it was my first time and he piled on the meat lol

are their hours current? on his site they are open from like 10-3 on sat, I am thinking of going.

Went today at lunch, and he said no Asians was Saturday now, and to stay away tomorrow lol.

Then he asked me white or brown bread, and when I chose brown, he proceeded to tell me about an ex-girlfriend who had an ass so hairy it was brown.

Sandwich was delicious though lol

‘Sandwich Nazi’ of Surrey heads for big screen

Quote:

Salam Kahil has a bad mouth and a heart of gold.

The so-called “Sandwich Nazi” of Surrey, Kahil has been serving enormous sub sandwiches with a side of his trademark R-rated humour at La Charcuterie Deli in Port Kells for 26 years.

A sign on the door warns patrons: “If you can’t handle nudity or profanity, then don’t come in.”

But there’s more to Kahil than lewd jokes and the “best sandwiches in North America.”

The Lebanese immigrant studied to be an engineer, but along the way worked as a male escort before opening his first deli.

He’s also an art collector, amateur piano player and lottery winner — and, thanks to a documentary that will screen at Slamdance, an independent film festival in Utah in January, he is also somewhat of an Internet celebrity.

The documentary focuses on the joie de vivre that characterizes Kahil’s life, as well as his lifelong commitment to helping the less fortunate. For decades, he has brought sandwiches to the Downtown Eastside and handed them out to the homeless.

Recently, he asked his loyal customers if they’d be willing to help him make the sandwiches. That’s led to a monthly event at his deli, where a couple dozen volunteers show up to put together hundreds of huge subs heaped with meat and cheese, which Kahil later distributes.

The deli owner said he was originally surprised at the number of people who wanted to help, but has always believed “there is goodness in all of us — we just need a chance to show it.”

Kahil said he doesn’t understand why more can’t be done to end homelessness in Canada, a country he’s always viewed as the “Promised Land,” but he feels it’s up to individuals to do what they can to help their fellow citizens.

“People look down on others so quickly. But everyone has a story.”

Kahil will close his shop for three weeks in January to see the screening of his own story — Sandwich Nazi, a documentary by Vancouver filmmaker Lewis Bennett. He expects to be back at the end of the month.

looks like hes not closing for good, just for 3 weeks in Jan then he will be open. Fuck yes best news all day

^^ I hope thats true
