The Norman Brothers Ticket
A few weeks ago my wife and I were in South Florida to show off our new baby girl, Samantha, to the family. So being a Native Floridian there are a few things one must do when in South Florida. Go to the beach, go to The Keys, go to South Beach, eat at Shorty’s BBQ and have lunch at Norman Brothers. It’s here, at Norman Brothers, where I was witness to a TurkeyHead in action. Some background on Norman Brothers, it’s an old fashion produce stand with all kinds of fresh fruits and vegetables, meats, seafood, baked goods, fresh flowers and on the weekend they have a BBQ and smoker built into an old fire engine. Well, I walk up to the sandwich counter to order the best roast beef on an onion roll with Swiss cheese, onion, tomato, lettuce and spicy mustard with a pickle that you will ever have. But first I take a number (37) and stand back as not to get trampled by the lunch crowd. I see this lady take a number after mine (38 I guess). No big deal you say, but wait, the sandwich guy behind the counter looks at the digital counter, it reads 31. He yells out 31… 31… no one home… 32…32… he looks at me and asks what number I have, I say 37. I’m very excited now because I’m so close to ordering my lunch. He yells anyone with a number lower than 37 and the lady seeing a window of opportunity to cut the line screams out “I have 36”. I didn’t even know what just happened. I looked to the guy next to me who was waiting for his order and all he was doing was shaking his head. You got to be kidding me is all I could come up with. I started to laugh. Just goes to show you what people will do to get a Norman Brothers sandwich. And to the lady that cut the line. You’re a TurkeyHead.
