Crazyman Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 (edited) I was watching the season premiere last night and it didn't hit me until now that your deli was on the show! Mad Men is by far my favorite show, is there anything you can talk about in regards to filming of that scene? And do you watch the show?Also here is a pretty cool article about it, including the clip if anyone wants to see: http://eater.com/archives/2014/04/14/canters-deli-on-mad-men.php Edited April 15, 2014 by Crazyman 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post recklessroad Posted April 15, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted April 15, 2014 They filmed it about 6 months ago but asked us not to talk about it until it aired. It was fun, they didn't have to change anything because that room they filmed in hasn't changed since 1959. We even had some old menus laying around. The art dept. loved that there was not much for them to do. Also Matthew Weiner the guy that does the show went to grade school with Slash and I. Although we were not really friends with him back then, I still remember him. He was so happy that we let them film at Canter's for his show. I think it was a great fit. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had no idea about the school connection between you, Slash and Matt. I'm not surprised he made you be tight-lipped about it, he's notorious for hating all things spoiler.PS - those sandwhichs look awesome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
estrangedtwat Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 I watched it and didn't even realize it was Canter's despite the fact that I've eaten there twice....oops!! But to be fair, I wasn't really paying close attention to the show.Marc, did you ever see the sketch about Canter's from "Kroll Show?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dalsh327 Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 Did they hire all actors or did some of the people who work there take part in it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhazUp Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 I have got to try a Brooklyn Ave next time I am at Canter's, I always go for the corned beef or pastrami reuben but Mad Men pointed out that putting cole slaw on the sandwich is a fantastic idea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
