I'll be sure to go there and order it when I'm in New York next month having fun NOT seeing her in concert (sigh).
I don't even like chicken salad--it's so boring--but for Bernadette's sake I'll eat it anyway.
No concert and a bland, overpriced sandwich. Oh joy, I have so much to look forward to!

Chicken Salad? Odd. I thought she was a vegetarian.

I'm pretty sure they just slap the celebrity names on the specials at random. Occasionally there may be some tenuous connection, but not usually.

With my luck, the mayonnaise will be tainted on the day I go there.

Good to know I'll have to try it next time I go there.

Do you think they'll have a brief run on the chicken salad sandwich and then wonder why nobody else ever orders it? Or not really?
I always think of chicken salad as something elderly women serve at their suburban bridge parties. I may be wrong.

Yeah, but you have a secret sauce. That's the key. Without the secret sauce, it's nothing!
This is the perfect example of why Bernadette needs to get back on Broadway. Her fans don't have enough to talk about anymore.

Chicken salad is good for when you're hungry enough for lunch but not hungry for anything specfic.
As for being a vegetarian-I think she just doesn't eat red meat.
Wow, this has turned into a two page thread.

Did you see the story in the Post today about Bernadette filing a lawsuit against the Stage Deli for unauthorized use of her name on an inferior sandwich? It seems that when the deli approached her last year, she agreed only to a smoked salmon or, at the very least, whitefish salad plate. When it turned out those were already taken, she denied all permission. They went ahead anyway and tried to use as a legal loophole the fact that they intentionally misspelled "Bernadette" as "Bernadete" on the menu. This was based on the "Mostel v. Carnegie Deli" decision of 1967 wherein the Supreme Court ruled that a treyf Cream of Shrimp Bisque could be called the Zero Mostel soup special without his permission as long as "Zero" was printed "0" and not spelled out. Apparently, Bernadette's legal team is confident that in today's changed judicial climate that precedent is ripe for overturning.
I think we should all join together to support Bernadette in her efforts to end longstanding exploitation and fraudulence in this sector of the restaurant trade. I move we stand together as a group in "silent witness" outside the courthouse during this undoubtedly long and complex proceeding. Does anyone have any ideas concerning what we might put on the placards that we'll be carrying?

Today's Post? Why is this just now all coming to a head? I posted 2 years ago about this sandwich. It seems strange that (at least 2 years later) this is now a lawsuit.
Interestingly, that very sandwich is listed as the "Julia Roberts" today.

Yes, but two years ago the John Roberts court was still the William Rehnquist court. Rehnquist was notoriously indifferent to trademark infringement issues (and reputedly followed the Nixonian "cottage cheese with ketchup" lunch diet). With him and O'Connor finally gone, the way is now free to rectify the injustice.
Oh sure, the Stage Deli can change the name of the offending sandwich overnight in an effort to deflect the suit, but I say it's too little too late. The madness must stop.

I'm thinking of a slogan to chant as we speak.
"1, 2, 3, 4. Chicken salad's gotta go!"
YOU can be silent, Karen. I am going to scream until I am heard.

Thank you Jenn, for inspiring me to rethink my theories of nonviolent resistance. I have always followed Gandhi's Satyagraha technique in which "in the attitude of silence the soul finds the path to a clearer light." Yet perhaps there are other journeys to the same destination? Journeys more harmonious with our Western way of being.
In other words, I'll be there with you in solidarity, screaming my head off.
