Surely there are debates on best pastrami in NY, but this is the one I tried when I visited. Mouth watering goodness!

Y'all looking at that and thought it's appetizing? 🤨

[-] Ohi@lemmy.world 5 points 17 hours ago

I'm going to NY next week and really appreciate the reminder to go eat at Katz again. 🤤

[-] SirEDCaLot@lemmy.today 6 points 18 hours ago

For anyone not familiar- Katz Deli is a somewhat famous sandwich place in NYC. Their primary menu item is the pastrami on rye sandwich, and it's like $20-$30. They slice the pastrami right in front of you, still warm.

I've only had it once but it was worth it.

30 dollars for a sandwich??? you could get a whole cow for that much here

[-] SirEDCaLot@lemmy.today 3 points 10 hours ago

It was worth it... Best pastrami I've ever had

[-] yamanii@lemmy.world 3 points 17 hours ago

Had something like that in São Paulo, actually left me full.

God tier Who cares what the "Best" is? Go try them all

[-] renrenPDX@lemmy.world 1 points 15 hours ago

Pastrami is one food I just can’t get to like no matter how I try it. Too damn salty for my taste, which is weird for me to say.

I don't understand American sandwiches, why even bother with the bread?

[-] johannesvanderwhales@lemmy.world 10 points 19 hours ago

This is like a $30 sandwich from one of the most famous delis in the country. I would not describe this as a typical American sandwich.

[-] FreeLikeGNU@lemmy.world 3 points 19 hours ago

You could easily split a single one of these sandwiches four ways and share some of their delicious side orders as well.

[-] mojofrododojo@lemmy.world 3 points 17 hours ago

the bread is where you grip it.

[-] SSJMarx@lemm.ee 21 points 1 day ago

The bread primarily exists to keep your hands dry when you handle the food.

The bread isn't a mere mechanical contrivance to keep your hands clean. The bread is chosen to pair with the pastrami.

would you like anything else with that?

Yes, a loaf of bread and some friends.

[-] EPBJ@lemmy.world 18 points 1 day ago

It’s like a cow with a cracker on either side.

GET THE FUCK OUT!!!

I'm not makin' a banana bread, pastrami, cottage cheese sandwich!

[-] K1nsey6@lemmy.world 23 points 1 day ago

Once you've had their pastrami you wouldn't be sharing.

Are they still popular as ever? When I visited in 2016 I was super impressed by the throughput their kitchen maintains.

[-] TheAlbatross@lemmy.blahaj.zone 19 points 1 day ago

Katz pastrami is some of the best, imo. I'm sure you can find a small Jewish deli that does a better one off the beaten path, but it's hard to beat Katz!

[-] Krackalot@discuss.tchncs.de 15 points 1 day ago

I didn't go to Katz myself. So I can't compare. I went to 2nd Ave Deli. The owner, a small Jewish guy, came over and chatted with me and my wife a few times, gave us free chocolate sodas, and it was the best pastrami I've ever eaten. Would highly recommend it if you want a more relaxing experience.

Pastrami or Beef Tongue. I love a good deli sandwich.
