Mr. Zubs staff struggling to find sandwich tie in for “500 Days of Summer”

With the Highland Square sandwich market so cluttered and competitive these days, Mr. Zub’s owner Mario Nemr has an ace up his sleeve, movie titles.  His famous sandwich movie tie-ins that include the “Irwin M. Fletcher” and the “Uncle Rico” give his sandwiches the extra oomph to really stick it to Metro Burger.  Nemr is quick to include new menu items to correspond with the hottest indie movies, but last years media darling “500 Days of Summer” has the Zubs creative team stumped.

“We have had some trouble coming up with a sandwich for this movie…only Micah saw it, and he really doesnt remember if there were any sandwiches in it.” 

This type of confusion can become a problem for an eatery so close to a movie theater and the film buffs that frequent it.  It is widely known that the controversial “Frodo Baggins” was taken off the menu after several complaints that the inhabitants of Middle Earth did not have corned beef.  To avoid such blunders in the future Nemr meets with his staff prior to each new menu item.

“Was she a vegetarian?” Nemr asked.  “I dont know, after the Juno we are starting to overload on the veggie sandwiches.”

As of press time, the sandwich on the table was a ham sandwich with bacon called the Tom Hansen or “something with cucumber” called “500 days of cucumber.”

“We didn’t even know the main guys name until we checked IMDB” Nemr lamented.
