    As someone who grew up eating at Katz' once or twice a month, I can assure you, that's where real Jews went...not truckers or tourists!!!! I can't speak to it today, but back then, no one was better, Carnegie was for tourists. The Lower East Side was where we went on those treasured Sundays!!!! BTW I loathe pickles, but I can smell the "Nickel a pickle guy."
    And did you notice the Pastrami was double the size at Katz'?? PS as for today, this woman's bias and whining destroyed this video. I don't know who makes the best today, but given she was insulting Katz before she sat down, she rendered this useless. Guess I'll have to find out myself, hopefully next year!

    Jamie is such a vibe, love it. While Katz has a ton of tourists and big lines I do genuinely think the pastrami itself can not be beat. I've had them all. The trick with Katz is order a full sandwich but take off half the pastrami and bring it home. I think it makes the bread to meat ratio better. Get some rye bread and you've easily got 2 sandwiches, maybe even 3 light ones.

    2nd ave is kosher, Katz's not. No tourist at 2nd ave; and the pastrami not fatty, not lean is heaven. The crowd at 2nd ave are the real deal in deli eaters, and with the personalities to match, my opnion, no better in the city and a must for real deli appreciation..

    Totally agree that 2nd Avenue Deli has much better rye, and is the more comfortable place to dine. They also have much better Jewish Staples. That said, don't order the hot dog from the 2nd Avenue Deli...it's terrible.
    Katz's is a better value if you want to share a sandwich, which is larger. If you catch Sarge's on a good day, their sandwiches are better than 2nd Avenue Deli and Katz's.
    I also agree that the salt content at Katz's is inexcusable. Spot-on!

  • @jonmeadow2449
    @jonmeadow2449 7 місяців тому +4

    There is no doubt in my mind that 2nd Ave. is superior to Katz's because it is Kosher and the products served whether soup or sandwiches have the homemade feeling and taste. In addition, 2nd Ave. has a delicacy to their products. Their pastrami, corned beef, brisket and chicken in the pot are superb. They also offer seeded, seedless and pumpernickel bread, which enhances the foods. Katz's is good but not 2nd Ave. Katz's does have an excellent knobblewurst, (garlic) frankfurter. I'll stake my name and claim on the above statements and I'm a born and raised New Yorker.

  • @nickydel8506

    In Cleveland there is one place to get a real Pastrami sandwich, one. Joe's Deli. Not the Lakewood Joe's on Madison Ave and W 117th, the River Joe's on Hilliard and Wooster. Everything in my heart tells me if I'm in New York I gotta go to 2nd Ave Deli for the real Jewish Delicatessen setup. I'll try it all till I'm bursting at the seams from food

    Katz's vs 2AD=Yankees vs Mets, Jay-z vs Nas. I'm old School Avenue D and East 10th. I used to walk to both. I love 2nd ave but I'm a Katz's. Also, Jaime said Katz and not Katz's. I sense bias 😂

    I from the west coast (East LA) and of Mexican descent. My father and grandfather were meat cutters (butchers if you prefer) and I grew up eating good food. I swear to you, that if had to choose my last meal, it would be A couple of corned beef sandwiches on Jewish rye with RUSSIAN DRESSING (sorry). Damn, all that food looks so good.
    CHEERS!!!

      Hello East LA, Lynwood here. I laughed when you said you father was a meat cutter, so was mine. I remember when he told me the difference between "Meat Cutter" and "Butcher", it makes scense. I hadn't been behind the counter for years and then one day I had the oppurtunity (Many years after my dad past way) to do so, the smell took me back to wonderful times with him. I still have his knives and stone., which I will never give up. Take care..

  • @axiomist4488
    @axiomist4488 Рік тому +2

    2d Ave Deli . . . the name rings a bell. I cant remember where it was. Im basically a New Yorker (22 years) and Id rather, after seeing this, do the whole Jewish experience. The Deli is much quieter, the pastrami is thinner and they dont pile on the salt.

  • @amurichandevil

    So glad I saw this video! I'm going to NY in a couple of weeks. First time in NY and I'm so excited! I had Katz on my agenda but replaced it with 2nd Ave Deli after watching this. Serving good quality meat on underwhelming Rye is a no-no for me. I'm also not big on salt so it sounds like I would appreciate the Matzo Ball Soup at 2nd Ave Deli over Katz. Looking forward to this!!

    Katz - hands down between the two but there are much better! Just go to Red Hook and that area has the best pastrami on delicious rye going! But for Jewish Delis I'd say I vastly prefer Katz's deli! Zabar's used to have a spectacular pastrami or corned beef on Rye. The store is now dirty and it turns me off. Overall for good meat and fish I go to Russ and Daughters!! They are a class act! Yes to Katz's and extra mustard and pickles please!! I eat this kind of food rarely as I care about good health! Lol! Great video!

    Katz's pastrami is awesome, but I think Langer's, in Los Angeles, is better. The pastrami itself is close, but Langer's crusty rye takes it over the top.

    @Eric_G65 8 місяців тому +1

    Pretty sure the knishes are supplied by Gabilas in both places. Most places that serve square knishes use Gabilas, which is why you order the round knish to judge quality of knish. I prefer 2nd Ave. for several reasons. First, 2nd Ave. is actually Kosher unlike Katz, something you probably should have mentioned in the video. I prefer thin slice pastrami from 2nd Ave. because it's more traditional and consistent. It's also very tasty and juicy. Maybe you also didn't know, you can ask for fattier or leaner pastrami from 2nd Ave. and you always want to go fattier. The Matzoh Ball soup is much better at 2nd Ave. It's served with vegetables the way Matzoh Ball soup should be served. Katz's soup is like bad diner Matzoh ball. Potato salad and Coleslaw both better at 2nd Ave. I never had either Katz's or 2nd Ave, fries but I don't like thick cut fries, those are more like British chips than traditional fries and in this video, they looked under cooked. I always prefer skin on fries, like you get from Five Guys Burgers. Katz's is definitely good food but not sure it's worth the wait and definitely not sure about the price. They are doing way more volume that 2nd Ave., they use unkosher meat which is probably less than half the price of 2nd Ave. There's no reason it needs to be that expensive. The only reason it is, is because that's the price people are willing to pay, except not all of us are willing to fork over so much money for slightly lower quality food.
