Dueling Delis: The Carving Station Pork Sandwich vs. Murray's Steak Sandwich

I kind of botched this one up. In the 3rd Base Lounge you can go to either a carving station or get the Murray's Steak Sandwich. On the first night the carving station had a big cow carcass that the lady assured us was better than the Murray's; it looked like this:

Well, I was already too full so I decided to save it for the second night. Wrong: the second night was honey mustard & herb pork. Since I was really committed to eating, I went for it anyway and it was dry. There were 3 bowls of some sort of mystery sauces that weren't labeled, so I picked the one that seemed like it might be some sort of spicy mustard. I'm still not really sure what it was, but it didn't change the fact that the pork could suck the moisture out of your mouth faster than a Sham-Wow.

Thank God for Murray's. The steak sandwich was cooked perfectly, topped with yummy caramel-y onions, and just delish. My only complaint is that there was no horseradish, which I feel is a staple for any steak sandwich. It comes jam-packed into a nice, crusty roll, so you don't have to worry about the bun getting all soggy and falling apart. You can also get some nice thick-cut fries, which regrettably don't come with malted vinegar and mayo. The wait here was a bit longer, but worth it if you don't like getting cotton mouth from food.

Decision goes to: Murray's Steak Sandwich - hands down
