    what i like about their videos is that they never denounce a place they visited on the list if they didn't like it, they just give their own opinion on it which I think is a very respectful way to go about it instead of bashing a place because its not their favorite. Overall these videos are so easy and fun to watch I hope we continue to see more of these guys in future videos.

      @tycimaglio9222 6 місяців тому +32

      Not only is it a product of NYC just being expensive (especially right now after some bad inflation recently) but the main reason pastrami sandwiches are expensive is the cut of meat - brisket is a pricey cut of beef - even just looking at BBQ places in the Southern US, their brisket sandwiches are almost always the most expensive on the menu and in states cheaper than NYC they still end up being similar in price since the meat itself is just expensive - also comes down to the fact that it is cured for a month and slow cooked, all that time is expensive too
      hope that explained a bit, they're not expensive solely for the purpose of being overpriced lol they're just expensive sandwiches to make

      @@scottshep8978 I suppose if you split it like was being done in the video it's £11 a half which still isn't great but at least you get to try the sandwich. That's what a lot of those places in NYC feel like to me. Very gimmicky. They are a try once experience for tourists and maybe once a year for residents. I can't honestly imagine there's office workers popping in at lunchtime every week to buy a $25 sandwich or is that cost reflective of good prices in general in NYC now?

    Watching this is why I give foods more than 1 try before judging/disliking it since eating something just once is not enough to see if it was judged by the food itself or from the place you got it from. I never even ate pastrami before but seeing Harry become a pastrami convert in one day is what trying new foods is all about. You might not like something the first time because the place you went was just mediocre but you'll probably like it if you had it somewhere else.

    Oh, such lovely memories. I used to work on Park Avenue and 24th. I would walk all the way to Houston during lunch to get the sandwich. Sour pickles only. And I would get in line with just that one guy because he was the one who was the most generous with pastrami.
    Funny thing I saw. A sandwich guy asked a customer, do you want sour pickles, half sour, or both. The customer gives him this "what kind of question is that" look and says, no only sour, of course.

    There are a lot of seeds. It's a bit generic to just call them seeds. Caraway seed is the common seed used in Rye Breads, it has a very unique flavor.

      It would be epic to see them travel around the world together or even just visit more places in the uk or USA together

    I'm not a pastrami fan - but give me a pile of corned beef with mustard on rye (or pumpernickel ❤) them your up my alley!
    Now both of them need to do a around USA for BBQ! Don't forget Texas brisket (the un- marinated version of brisket)❤

    My fav place is Sarge’s in midtown. It’s my go to for a pastrami on rye. Top notch sandwich for 2/3rds the price. I hit it up each time I go to NYC.

    2nd Ave is our go-to when we visit NYC, but we did Katz last year. Love both, I think 2nd Ave is somewhat more intense - more fat, more spice. Also love the Kasha Varnishkes at 2nd...

    David's Brisket House is super juicy and sweet. My Favorite spot right off Franklin Ave.
