At the opening of the Showboat Atlantic City Hotel & Casino‘s Earl of Sandwich yesterday, good ol’ Snooki was on hand to unveil a sandwich named after her book, Gorilla Beach. You heard that right: In Atlantic City there is a sandwich, named after a book, written by Jersey Shore‘s Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi.

“What is on the sandwich?” asked no one, as everyone sulked away saddened. But seriously, the best part (and by best we clearly mean worst) is what is actually on the Gorilla Beach. It’s got grilled chicken strips, mozzarella cheese, seasoned bread crumbs, Roma tomatoes, Italian dressing and pickles. So … you know … don’t eat it. Just like Atlantic City itself, everything is fine and dandy on the surface. The chicken isn’t bad, and the cheese fits in well. It’s almost like you’re in a real town! But then, the pickle hits. And you realize behind all the pickles and neon and striped-untucked-button downs there is a sad world; a world you don’t want to be a part of, and you just want to go home.
