In honor of the current GOP frontrunner, the American City Diner in Washington, D.C., has introduced The Trump Sandwich, with the main ingredient being — you guessed it — bologna.
For just $6.95, diners can enjoy a sandwich piled high with bologna, as well as lettuce and tomato. Restaurant owner Jeffrey Gildenhorn promises The Trump Sandwich will be on the menu "as long as we have bologna," and is also peddling t-shirts emblazoned with Trump's face and the Yiddish word "chutzpah" (meaning "bold" or "audacious"). Gildenhorn told WJLA he can relate to The Donald — he ran for office as the mayor of D.C. in 1988, in a move considered "comic relief" by the press. "I was an outsider just like Trump is," he said.
Gildenhorn didn't say if he has any plans to name sandwiches after any of the other GOP presidential candidates, which hopefully means we've been spared the Rick Santorum — mayonnaise on white bread.
