Comments on: Katz’s Deli: Carnivore’s Dream Lives up to the Legend http://nycfoodguy.com/2007/12/08/katzs-deli-carnivores-dream-lives-up-to-the-legend/ NYC's Most Delicious & Affordable Food Sun, 22 Apr 2012 03:15:15 -0400 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8 hourly 1 By: BeanBag http://nycfoodguy.com/2007/12/08/katzs-deli-carnivores-dream-lives-up-to-the-legend/#comment-9986 BeanBag Thu, 01 Mar 2012 06:14:42 +0000 http://nycfoodguy.com/2007/12/08/katzs-deli-carnivores-dream-lives-up-to-the-legend/#comment-9986 I walked by Katz's this evening on my way to a much better meal at Clinton St Bakery (pancake month !!!). You realize Katz's doesn't make it's own Pastrami. Neither does Carnegie, Stage etc.. Probably explains why they have no control over the consistency day to day. Sometimes it's too lean, sometimes a pile of fat. The portion sizes are those stupid oversized sandwiches like the even worse Carnegie. What is it now, around $20 for a Pastrami sandwich. They're living off their rep. And they should be sending Rob Reiner pastrami for the rest of his life.

Great pastrami at Albany Medical Center Cafeteria? Seriously? Are you a resident, so hungry you will eat anything? Or perhaps a mental patient, there for an outpatient follow-up visit? But your description indicates that you still have your faculties, so I must conclude that perhaps the cafeteria got lucky and intercepted an order meant to go elsewhere. So Food Guy, wanna go to Albany instead of Ben's for the next deli adventure? The Doctor (who has eaten in hospital cafeterias, and knows that "great pastrami" is next to impossible).

Crowded, but not unbearable. One dining companion and I shared one CB/pastrami combo on rye with mustard and slaw, and one brisket on a roll with Russian. Both OUTSTANDING. Another had extra lean CB on a roll. It was OK, and better than most delis, but to me, if you're going to Katz's, leave your worries about mortality at the door and go for the fatty stuff. Katz's is truly in a class by itself. Best meat, and give the meat cutter a few bucks, and he will keep you in sample slices as he prepares your order. It is the clear winner of the best deli I have eaten in anywhere and ever. May be my choice for the Last Meal. Who knows? And if fat is bad for you, next time it may just be that. Of course, I await a Ben's Best comparison adventure. Just came back from a lunch run. Crowded, but not unbearable.

Dude that is a hell of a subway ride, I live on the UWS and have made it many times. The thing about NY, as you know, is it's always an adventure. Where else did you eat while you were here? What are your go to stops when you visit? Thanks for the post. Matt-

I made it to Katz despite the fact my wife wanted nothing to do with it, so I took my friend. It was even better than I remembered and the subway ride from uptown made it seem like quite the adventure for a couple of Idaho boys. Needless to say my friend was equally satisfied and impressed. The pickles & 24 oz Budweiser’s were a nice bonus too. I got a t-shirt so I could spread the word back at home. Till next time! Just got back from Manhattan.
