Surely there are debates on best pastrami in NY, but this is the one I tried when I visited. Mouth watering goodness!
I'm going to NY next week and really appreciate the reminder to go eat at Katz again. π€€

Pastrami is one food I just canβt get to like no matter how I try it. Too damn salty for my taste, which is weird for me to say.
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
It was worth it... Best pastrami I've ever had
God tier Who cares what the "Best" is? Go try them all
Are they still popular as ever? When I visited in 2016 I was super impressed by the throughput their kitchen maintains.
I don't understand American sandwiches, why even bother with the bread?
the bread is where you grip it.
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.
You could easily split a single one of these sandwiches four ways and share some of their delicious side orders as well.
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.

Pastrami or Beef Tongue. I love a good deli sandwich.
would you like anything else with that?
Yes, a loaf of bread and some friends.
Itβs like a cow with a cracker on either side.
You got banana bread?
GET THE FUCK OUT!!!
I'm not makin' a banana bread, pastrami, cottage cheese sandwich!
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!
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.
