Captain, I think only in North America the portion is huge.
KayB: I have been eating and drinking 3 times my capacity, without exercise whatsoever, few fruits and vegs. But I'm on holiday... will deal with it when I am home again. I have a disciplined gym-pool routine 5 days a week, eat little meat, lots of vegs and fruits (my downfall is cheese and beer!). Five weeks ago I was fit and muscular... Notice the past tense. Hah!

And today's lunch was another smoked meat sandwich just to compare. It was across the street from Schwartz's. No wonder Schwartz's gets all the business.
And just before that... baked bean in lard. If you don't like fat you would hate this.
I would have made it with Speck. Perhaps most people in Europe would, too. The bean dish is the best thing this place is known for.
The tiny restaurant is a kind of greasy spoon diner. The food they serve is the kind your (grand) mum makes (when you were a child).
A few tiny tables and a counter.
