Gerry Michaud Jr. is the man behind Big G’s Deli, a low-key sandwich spot in Winslow, Maine, not far from Colby College. Gerry has been feeding locals since 1986 when he opened his deli and serves up some of the largest sandwiches you’ve ever seen, thanks in part to his own ingenious quest for the perfect sandwich bread, which he makes at the deli.

    This was actually pretty wholesome, I wasn't expecting it. Props to Munchies for bringing us this. I hope Big G's keeps existing forever

    He has these wise, kind, and hard working eyes. Much much respect.
  • As someone who lives in Maine and goes here, don’t miss your chance to check this place out if given the opportunity!

    I've never wanted a deli sandwich as much as I do right now
  • @casualuser8064
    Holy shit… I went here when I was a kid, must have been 2002 or 2003, and I brought a menu home because the sandwiches were so good/ thought the names were funny. Obviously that got misplaced over the years and I’ve never been able to find which sandwich shop it was even though I distinctly remembered ordering the Lucretia Borgia. What a trip stumbling open this video 20 years later, will definitely be going back the next time I’m up that way.
  • Amazing. People like Gerry don't start businesses, they start traditions. I love to see these family run restaurants that continue into the next generation.
  • @EvanHT
    Awe man. As someone with no family this shit always brings jealous tears to my eyes. So uplifting and wholesome
  • Bring more of these Vice. It’s a crazy world, and anything refreshing means so much to me.
  • @josephyauch9593
    As one of those Colby grads he mentioned, this place is heaven! Always look forward to grabbing a sandwich when I go up to Winslow!

    I'm a regular here. If you're ever in the Waterville area in Maine, stop in. These sandwiches are amazing.

    Born and raised in central Maine and Big G’s has been a go-to since my childhood. Do not sleep on this legendary spot!

    Salt of the earth people such as this man are what hold this country together.
  • His determination and dedication at 70 years old is amazing. Eating a sandwich from this place is definitely going in my bucket list.
  • @allison7076
    I love that he always says we and not I. Giving tribute to his team for their success. What a nice man
  • This man would make the trip worth it. He is so genuine and loves what he does and I am sure you can TASTE the love in each bite.
  • @Tokioka
    Was not expecting the ad at the end. Great sense of humour. 😂
  • @Girrrrrrrr
    Really loved this episode. While working at Subway as a youngster I really developed a passion for making sandwhiches, bravo to Gerry for creating a staple in his parts!
