may have to join an elks lodge or nights of colombus but it is worth it. growing up in jersey you end up at these things all the time and they cant be beaten.

Nice Review! I’d love to try that pastrami. From what I’ve tasted, both Katz and Eisenberg’s pastrami are phenomenal. 2nd ave deli was good, but not quite fatty enough for me. Give them a go and let me know what you think!

Oh, and Mr. Mehoff,

I am not a big fan of seafood, so I don’t have much to offer as a recommendation. And I guess NYCFG is not a fan, either, as there is almost zero on that subject in all of his writings. Not even on sushi.

Crab, however is a different story. City Crab on Park Ave So. looks interesting for the Maryland crab cakes. However, the real Maryland crab experience, eaten sloppily, with a basket of peppery crabs dumped on your table for you to attack with nothing more than a mallet, a knife and your fingers, is something wonderful that may not even exist in the NY area. Anyone know of such a place closer than Baltimore?

Jack, no disrespect from me, ever. Just curious why anyone in NYC would go to Toastie’s for corned beef. You like it, fine! Not my business.

Randy, thanks for your support, whoever you are.

And Kristen, Kristen, Kristen… “dysperia”? “contageous”? I know, no spellcheck in the blogosphere. Take a nap, you’ll feel better.

Food Guy, suggestions for future excursions to Death by Animal Fat establishments:
- Sammy’s Roumanian. The one, the only. Steaks hanging off both ends of an elliptical plate, chicken fat instead of butter to pour on your corn bread. “Triplets”, a copycat restaurant, closed years ago, and I don’t know of any others like it.

- Rodizio, those all-you-can-eat Brazilian meatfests. I recommend Plataforma (two locations). Pricey, but the best I’ve been to, and I’ve tried several.

Jack,
Lil NYC Food Guy checked out Toastie’s today, I’m waiting to hear his final verdict, but looking at the Toastie’s menu, it sound exactly the same as Lenny’s.

jack?,
easy there slugger.

Elena,
Thank you Elena. Gotham Palate is great too.

heather,
I’m happy to have the Doctor’s expertise. He’s here to provide one thing only, productive food conversation.

Roger,
Thanks man, any suggestions for future reviews?

Dr. Dyspepsia,
Thanks for the pastrami spicing info, very thorough. I don’t think Lenny’s or Toastie’s are quite the deli Meccas we’ve built them towards in this, more like glorified sandwich shops. I’d still rather have an authentic Italian hero, like the one at Faicco’s, over a Lenny’s/Toastie’s sub any day.

heather,
I’m single.

randy,
Thanks for asking. I’m still feeling pretty lousy but today has been the best of the days. I’ve been subsisting on Gatorade and chicken soup.

Pastrami-Lover,
Really happy you enjoyed the meal. This is what makes writing the site rewarding.

Dr. Dyspepsia,
Well said. The same goes for me.

Heather, there is but one Food Guy, and I do not challenge his role as a critical and photographic mastermind. I just had the privilege of sharing a great meal and offering some comments.

And no, we’re not “together”. At least I’M not. I cannot guarantee NYCFG’s proclivities, but I assure you, I’m all man.
