10 sandwich shops in Portland, Maine (A&C Grocery, Anania’s, Broadway Variety, Corsetti’s, Deb’s, DiPietro’s, Leavitt & Sons; Old Port Sandwich Shop, Otherside Delicatessen, Pat's Meat Deli and Sisters Gourmet Deli) build a 144-foot-long line of sandwiches in Portland’s Monument Square, setting the world record for the World’s Longest Line of Maine Italian Sandwiches, according to the WORLD RECORD ACADEMY.
"Collectively, it took the sandwich makers about 25 minutes to build it, said Gillian Britt, one of the owner/producers of Portland’s Harvest on the Harbor festival, adding “it was devoured in far less time than it took to make it.” “Maine Italians are an institution. This event celebrated all Maine Italians in one huge, long, fun sandwich,” Britt said.
