"The 80" is the first sandwich in Manny's history to feature a smoked version.

During the pandemic, deli staff got to experiment with smoked meats which lead to the sandwich's creation.

Manny's is offering it up for half price during an all-day anniversary celebration on Tuesday.

"Honestly, with the last few years, we needed a lot of love from our customers to make sure we made it through," says Raskin. "We're excited to be able to celebrate with everybody."
