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

would you like anything else with that?

Yes, a loaf of bread and some friends.

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

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

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

[–] johannesvanderwhales@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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.

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

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

Close your app and pull it back up. You'll come a bunch the second time

[–] Iheartcheese@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Can confirm.

[–] WhatAmLemmy@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago (5 children)

At this point why even bother with the bread?

[–] acosmichippo@lemmy.world 24 points 1 year ago (1 children)

the bread really ties the sandwich together.

That's just like, uh, your opinion, man.

There is no debate with the pastrami. It is the best

[–] SirEDCaLot@lemmy.today 6 points 1 year ago (2 children)

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.

Try some of their sour pickles while there too.

[–] Ohi@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

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

[–] Angry_Autist@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

It's great if you don't mind paying $25 for a sandwich

[–] alarratt@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

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

Oh man dude you’re making me want to take the train down

[–] resetbypeer@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

25 bucks well spent. Love their pastrami. Reuben sandwich is also 🤤
