      Hey FOOD INSIDER....love your videos and the ladies are good hosts.
      Just an idea from a fan that I think would put your "best of the best" videos over the top. This would have been perfect for this particular show too!
      For instance...pastrami is obviously a very lauded, celebrated deli meat which has old school Jewish origins. The first thought I had before watching this video was I wonder how a 70-80 year old, brutally honest, really funny jewish man obsessed with pastrami would rate theses places...and I started laughing. Pick an older native expert to join you in each episode. This could be done with any food in any city.
      Just a thought.

    As someone who has ate at all of these places, I feel like Harry & Ida's is my favorite pastrami sandwich. The flavors are phenomenal. However, 2nd Ave Deli has the best pastrami I've ever had. 2nd Ave Deli pastrami with Harry & Ida's setup would be my ideal pastrami sandwich. Katz's is still a solid choice in my opinion, but you can't beat David's Brisket House's prices. I live in Brooklyn and David's is the best pastrami sandwich you can get at it's price point.

    My partner and I are partial to a pastrami sandwich but living in a rural part of the UK we only get to enjoy this if we go to London on a trip or make it ourselves which we have done. Some have commented that those sandwiches are dear but we would have to share one between us, we wouldn't want to eat such a large sandwich. Taking size and price into account I'd say it's on a par with London prices.

    David's Brisket House is a diamond in the rough. A nice sandwich without having to be told if you lose your ticket, your gonna pay. Also, finding parking around there is way better than those other spots in Manhattan. I don't even cross the bridge anymore if I want pastrami.

    • @twigd3825
      @twigd3825 3 роки тому +1

      the reason for the ticket is you dont pay at the counter like all other place's. the cost is written on the ticket and you pay on the way out. therefore if you lose your ticket (on purpose or not) trying to get out of paying. they have no way of knowing what you ordered. and only then you are charged $50 which is 2 sandwiches and a drink.

Having said that, the best pastrami sandwich is in Los Angeles, at Langer's. I make my own pastrami from beef short ribs, and its pretty killer too.
