That looks scrumptious! Great choice❤ Ben, from the little things you shared, it sounds like you’re adopted parents genuinely cared for and loved you! You’re so fortunate! And you’re mom to send you hamburger helper is so sweet! She probably miss you so much!
My boy Benny, really appreciated this video here. Man that was awesome seeing you eat with such appreciation. If you love Katz's Deli, next time you're in Montreal please get yourself a classic poutine from La Banquise and a smoked meat (brisket) sandwich from Schwartz's Deli, believe me the two together will make you touch the sky.
Look I’m from New York and everyone talking about the prices at Katz’s-yeah it’s crazy. But you’re getting insanely high quality artisan prepared meat there, in a historic and completely local preparation passed down through many generations of one single family. Not to mention that it’s become a cultural landmark. And they do not by any means skimp on quantity. Okay-it’s $30. Don’t compare it to a sandwich your corner deli. Put it up against a soulless steak from any old Ruth’s Chris Steakhouse and you’re getting a bargain. And yes, this means no New Yorker is going there several times a week on their lunch break or whatever. I hope places like Katz’s never die.
Plus, besides everything you said, I count it as getting two sandwiches since they stack the meat so high and the sandwich is a good size. Plus everything you said about the qualify
I grew up eating corn beef and pastrami sandwiches. My dad would take us to the famous deli in town and we would get sandwiches, half sour pickles, and various other items. All the sandwiches at the delis in town were very generous with the meats.
Lets take a moment at this guy's pro moves. Takes a couple of bites and then does a bite of a pickle. This is to reset the palate so that every bite has maximum flavor.
fr bro, 30 bucks for 1 sandwich? I can easily get a meaty sandwich for 5 bucks in my area. People pay like 20% for the sandwich and 80% for the experience.
@@RiiTheFox I'm very curious what kind of similar meaty sandwich you're getting for 5 bucks, and where you're getting it from! You also have to remember this is new york where food is generally more expensive.
@@fengstar1 I live in a small city in Italy and in my area we have döner sandwich, fried chicken sandwich or just simple sandwiches with cold cuts for around that price.
Been a New Yorker for 35+ years. YES, Kat'z is a tourist trap, but yes, New Yorkers still go there. One of the few tourist traps that is actually worth the hype, unlike say Pat's or Geno's in Philly.
At 5:07. The thick slices are done that way on purpose. If you slice the meat too thin it crumbles. And you can't use a meat slicer. It has to be cut by hand as done at Katz's.
If you don’t understand that the product cost of that sandwich is $4 and their total expenses (including material, employee, rent, etc) is $12 per sandwich then you’re a retard 😂🤡
Native New Yorker in Florida and I miss Katz's so dang much and to those that say is too expensive you get a lot of food and the quality is second to none Shouts to Freddy Carbon on the cutting Station... At Katz
I LOVE the PASTRIMI . New Yorker.. Homegrown here. I like the sour pickles with coleslaw. The absolute goat..but it's so expensive. A treat yourself for real.
Katz is great. Had it 2-3 times as a New Yorker. Taste definitely lives up to the hype. But at $30 a piece before tax i feel like there are places you can get 90% of the flavor for about half the price. Still worth to experience a time or two if you have the opportunity
Is it just me, but sometimes I like it when you’re just eating and not talking. It’s nice to know you’re enjoying the food. Going to have to prioritize going to Katz’s next time I’m there.
You really missed out on that Montreal-Style Smoked Meat Poutine experience when you were in Canada. Montreal smoked meat is like pastrami, but better (imo). With poutine, it's next level.
He wasn't in Montreal sadly he was in Toronto and he got some trash poutine from a chain If you want the best Poutine in Montreal its from Alfa Best smoke meat in Montreal is either Schwartz or smoke meat pete also HM grillade valleyfield which is grilled pork flank with special seasonings
Seems like Katz has become a new experience for content creators. I'll say, if you know Katz, you know Katz. Going and getting samples before you order is the best, imo. I've been going for the last 20+ yrs. Always yum.
Hi great meal! I'm from the Chicagoland area, Evanston IL and am very familiar with Skokie! Kaufman's deli on Dempster is where I go for my corn beef and Pastrami. Small world😊
The moment Ben opened the window at 7:30 and the police siren starting at the exact same after a long silence beforehand made me bust out laughing lol. Love it when unintentional comedy randomly happens in his vids.
I remember eating at Katz when i visited new york 9 years ago I went at around 3pm so there was no line. Was really blown away by the meat because of the richness of the texture and it just melted in your mouth. It cost around 16 or 17 USD at that time. My cousin's jewish husband though who has lived in new york all his life said that there are several spots that are not well known that are better though. My only regret is not coming back to Katz again and trying the corned beef.
The best pastrami sandwich in Manhattan I have ever had was 2nd Ave Deli on East 33rd street and 2nd Ave (corner deli). They steam the meat and its so soft and juicy - they do it to perfection.
Lived in Lower East Side for five years, just one block from Katz's. My first week there I ate their pastrami on rye 5 of the 7 days. As much as it's hyped, it really is one of the best sandwiches you'll ever have, and the only place I've had that matches the pastrami in terms of quality and taste is Langer's in LA. This was more than a decade ago, though, when the sandwich was $16 and not the current $28.95, which is kind of ridiculous.
I feel like such an oldie bc I‘ve been watching for years nowwww like knowing stuff about Ben that y‘all don’t feels illegal even though he said it years ago himself 😭
"if it was thinner it wouldn't be enough" is a contender for the most american thing ever said 😂 you could half that and it would still be considered alot of meat 😂
There was a Katz's Deli in Austin TX for years. Went to it until it shuttered due to the son mismanaging it. Yet, it WILL RETURN to Austin TX next year in 2025!! Can't wait to go again!
For years my annual Houston Street food crawl was as follows: Katz’s for a pastrami, Russ and Daughters for a Daughters Delight on a bialy and some pickled herring, and finally a few pieces of Blue Ribbon fried chicken with wasabi honey!! 🥪🥯🍗😋
Ben you should make a video called the battle of the sandwiches and just bring all your top tier ones ( bahn mi, pastrami, philly cheese steak, meatball sub, jambon beurre … ) and then crown the queen of sandos It would break your yourube record 🔥
I came on this channel quite recently when you did your Canada series. Loved the vibes coming off this channel and gonna keep watching regardless...... but im gonna ask every video until i find out...... WHAT T SHIRT BRAND IS THIS!?!?!?!?
I am jealous..looks delicious! I was parked right there at Katz with every intention to finally have it..I drove 9 hrs to NYC..to find a longass lineup..it wasn't meant to be 😥
Ben’s got all kinds of surprises. Didn’t guess he grew up Jewish.
i think he mentioned it in another video where he was eating a bagel
He got adopted by a jewish family. He told the whole story in a video years ago
yeah, his real last name is Schwartz.
People go watch the older videos. He explains how he was adopted by a Jewish couple...his american brother was an adopted child too.
No surprise
The most hyped moments of Ben's life:
-Moving to Korea
-Getting married
-This video
👋🏻🧑🏻🦱✌🏻

Katz deli. Amazing food. Ive had the pleasure of having a corn beef on rye. It's out of this world delicious

I was raised in a jewish deli my whole life and now i’ve been working there for about 3 years. Dying to go to katz’s.
I just get so excited when you're back in the States 😁😁 Happy Thanksgiving
This is the typa sandwich Mordecai and Rigby would sacrifice their lives for
i went to katz on my trip to NYC this summer. lived up to the hype, bussin
The nostalgic memories from childhood are overflowing.

My boy was raised Jewish mind blown 😂😂 let’s go brother
didnt knew ben grew up jewish
Wow what an interesting comment! Just lidding obviously :-(
*kidding
You must’ve missed them old videos of Ben wearing Kippahs
He was adopted from Korea by Jewish parents, then returned to Korea as an adult.
look up his lox bagel video he goes deep into his jewish upbringing
Crystal done messed UP dilly dally-ing w Ben's Katz's order!

I'm half way in and got to say this is a top 5 BenDeen upload
I was in NYC about 6 weeks ago, went to Katz's. It's amazing. It lives up to the hype. Its so good, and so tender, its delicious.
Ever video is like a new anime episode where u get random bits of lore about the main character
I don't think there's anything better than some good pastrami on delicious rye bread. Damn.
Katz's pastrami literally redefined pastrami for me. I didnt know it could be that good.
❤❤❤ Yummy! Now those are sandwiches. Mustard is a condiment made for sandwiches.. Pickles are a perfect sandwich condiment. Whole meal is DELISH....😋

Best smoke meat in Montreal is either Schwartz or smoke meat pete
also HM grillade valleyfield which is grilled pork flank with special seasonings
You are making me miss New York so much. Even the ambulance sirens make me nostalgic.
Nahh go to Garfield NJ for 18 $ brooo best pastrami and I’m from ny
@ I miss the sights and sounds of NYC. I remember the piss smell from the seventies when I was a kid. Yep. I actually miss it all
Probably it's the best deli in the US. As a former New Yorker, I used to eat there quite often. I've not seen anything close in Mass, too bad for me.
Gosh he had a moment....I thought he was crying
Both are brisket. Yummm. When the ingredients are great, it's best to keep it simple. In Toronto, it has to be Montreal smoked meat.
Real Pastrami is from from the cow's navel area. Corned Beef and Montreal Smoked Meat are brisket.
Shaking his head again and again...he's in heaven! 🤣
