Zingerman's Delicatessen and Peace Neighborhood Center are joining forces for an evening of fun, music, wine, gustatory indulgence and Egg Creams — The Raucous Caucus. As an attendee...

YOU — will be greeted by the Peace Neighborhood Drumline, a gaggle of Zingerman's Sandwich Celebrities — past and present who will present you with a 'swag bag' (more on that in a moment) and guide you into the Big Top Tent where you will

FEAST — upon The Elite Eight Finalists from Zingerman's Tournament of Sandwich Champions. The Eight Greatest Sandwiches in the world served up in a 'strolling tasting'. Each Sandwich will have its own station and it's own group of advocates because this really is a caucus and you will have to choose. While you're thinking about it you will

QUAFF — The fine wines of our friends at Leelanau Cellars Winery which will inspire you to

SING ALONG — with the song stylings of Musical Guests/Sandwich Celebrities 'Gemini'. These beloved folksters are represented on our menu by #55 — Gemini Rocks the House and, of course, will perform their ode to Zingerman's — 'Deli'. Fresh from lifting your voice in song you can

LEARN — About Peace Neighborhood Center from the always-inspirational Bonnie Billups. There will also be presentations each of the final 8 supporters and live interview with visiting Sandwich dignitaries.

BUY — Your way onto the menu with a sandwich named for you. A live auction will be conducted. The winner will collaborate with Sandwich Line manager Laura Wonch on a special featured sandwich and receive (in addition to the Glory) a once in a lifetime, hand-painted Zingerman's sign.

EAT — Some more... don't worry, we've got lots. But now it's time to

VOTE — After one month of voting, the culmination of this Peace/Zing endeavor is in your hands. Compare notes and swear your allegiance to one, and only one, of the final 8. The biggest vote winner in this head-to-head tasting will be crowned the BEST ZINGERMAN'S SANDWICH EVER. Really. But wait,

THERE'S MORE...

WITNESS — The live drawing and rewarding of SANDWICHES FOR LIFE to one of our guests who voted in the month long Tournament of Sandwich Champions.

THRILL — To the presentation of Peace President Al Newman's Zing-Portrait which will adorn the wall of Zingerman's Next Door forever.

LOOK — in that swag bag — along with your tshirt and ballot — you will find The Newman Passport — not yet available to the general public. It duplicates Al's 10 year culinary odyssey one sandwich at a time. Should you match his efforts your portrait, too, will join the Zing pantheon.

GLOAT — When the Sandwich you caucused with WINS IT ALL. (Ballot counting and announcement overseen by Jennifer Tubbs, Notary Public).

SLURP — A Brooklyn Egg Cream or Italian Soda from our Liquid Dessert Bar and, hey, go ahead, eat a little more.

GROOVE — To the music of Zach Saginaw (#33 — Benny and Zach's Bagel over Tokyo) and his band.

TOAST — an evening of fun, food and good works.

WE'LL — probably make up some more stuff too... come on down.
