...pileup with two "decks" of filling that at its purest includes sliced chicken, bacon, tomato and lettuce. Less orthodox but currently more fashionable in New York City is the $22 club sandwich at the American restaurant Arcadia, where chunks of lobster replace chicken--never mind that the abundance of toast, bacon, tomato and lettuce muffles the lobster's delicate flavor...
...orders to the sandwichmen behind the counter. Because pastrami can sound a lot like salami when shouted out in a busy, noisy dining room, it is known as "pistol." A "pistol with a shot" means that coleslaw will be added. If the cus- tomer wants his sandwich on rye toast, the waiter hollers "whiskey down."

Mayor Andrew Young plans to set the tone for the monster bash by belting out, with the help...
...that future, as Goizueta sees it, is overseas. The average American now consumes 50 gal.--the equivalent of 533.3 12-oz. bottles--of soft drink per year, but consumption abroad averages only 15% of that. Says Goizueta: "We have tremendous room for growth." As the company prepares to toast its triumphs with more kinds of Coke than John Styth Pemberton could ever have imagined, industry experts fully expect Goizueta to do whatever it takes to keep his firm in a partying mood well into its second century...
