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

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

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

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

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.

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?

[–] mojofrododojo 3 points 5 hours ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

You have a point but dude throwing everything in the fridge between two thinly sliced pieces of bread is amazingly delicious

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

[–] [email protected] 43 points 1 day ago (2 children)

would you like anything else with that?

Yes, a loaf of bread and some friends.

[–] EPBJ 17 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

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 25 points 1 day ago (13 children)

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

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!

[–] [email protected] 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.
