Sarge's is probably the only reasonably popular restaurant in all of NYC where you can order coleslaw over a pastrami and corned beef sandwich and not be asked by the staff (and maybe by a customer) to leave the premises -- post haste! Although such sacrilege upon a perfect piece of brisket is ordered fare in S. Jersey and Philidelphia, it is not ordered that way by self-respecting New Yorkers! Compounding your gastronomic faux pas was giving the sandwich at Sarge's your highest score, despite that the rye bread there crumbled out of your hands upon immediately being touched. The only ones who rave about their pastrami and corned beef are the tourists who eat there, which entails most of their customers.
The attempt by two west-coasters to seriously critique a NY culinary staple like the pastrami sandwich rang hollow. It was tantamount to my going to Los Angeles -- or San Diego -- to preside over and bestow the Blue Ribbon Award for the best tacos.

Brooklyn W9 and Kings highway. It's called Bagels on kings. Check it out, you'll think me later 👌
Oh come on! What kind of fair and equitable taste testing is this? All four sandwiches needed to be identical: Sliced rye bread, pastrami, corned beef, and NYC style deli mustard. That should have been it for all four sandwiches. If the restaurant could not produce that it should not have been included in the test. You are in NYC for crying out loud and you couldn't find four restaurants that could do that? Out of all the delicatessens in NYC?
I'd love to visit just for the FOOD!!!!
Supposedly you can still get a Carnegie sandwich at MSG. You need to do a second video. Rye bread is not rye BREAD, it’s RYE bread
First time I went to Katz's we all literally laughed at the piles of meat with the bread slices teetering on top and we joked about how we should have shared. Ten minutes later it was all gone.
Lol it was good right
$25 for a sandwich? That better be a damn good tasting sandwich! 💯
That's a complete dinner in Chinatown.
the pastrami on rye at katzs with mustard for me is the best sandwich in the country hands down, if im within 100 miles of NYC im making the trip every time and I dont like NYC at all, I sometimes hate it. the traffic and the amount of people never mind the sick parking situation. but then theres the pastrami and the corned beef, Dont get them Together on the same sandwich thats just wrong. the knish and hot dogs with mustard and kraut are a must, i think the cream and black cherry sodas are like $3,50 a can I havent been in over a year thinking of taking a trip soon. oh btw last time i was there with my wife and daughter we spent over $125 we left with a smile. there are alot of tourist for sure but the real new yorkers are there in big numbers trust me im 48 i been going since i was 10 the food has not changed. I want my last meal on this earth to be a katzs pastrami on rye with mustard and slip the cutter a 5er and tell him to make it MEAN and LEAN !!! that 1st bite youll know what pastrami should be. so is $25 alot for a sandwich ? Not this one.
Thanks for reading just my 2 cents
It is a damn good tasting sandwich. Worth every penny.
Mookaron - it's good but not $25 good.
If you cant afford it then dont go.
I understand the magic of tradition and that paying extra can sometimes help one encapsulate that magic. But my god. $25?????
Metro detroit half pound of pastrami & cornbeef 2 range; ❤ pastrami & cornbeef straight out of the cooker with out cooling of water
That’s New York prices everything is more expensive there except for maybe pizza
Tourist trap
Rippoff
Wow..i love this...pls continue!!
Thanks for covering Katz! I went there on a whim with my chinese friend earlier this year. Never been to new york before but went to Katz 3 or 4 times during 1 week. Amazing pastrami sandwich lol
Im really loving your channel. I've never been to NYC but if I ever do I'll be prepared thanks to your videos.
Excellent Video Thank You So Much 😊Cheers 🍺
Your videos make my day!
Awesome heading there in March can’t wait seen all your videos great vlogger
What a great video. I've been living in NYC for over a year, and I've eaten excellent Pastrami sandwiches at Katz and Pastrami Queen in the Upper East Side...I will definitely try Sargent's!
The half corned beef, half pastrami reuben on rye at Katz is amazing! Should of gone for that
NY prices are out of control. Way to expensive.
I agree, but too*
Get a job that pays more then 75k and you could afford it.
@@johnottr Learn English grammar and you could be perceived as something other than an ignorant asshole.
“LOL” -San Francisco
@@aydensimpson6337 You're right, I am only perceived as being an ignorant asshole. You're not perceived as being a jerkoff, you definitely are a jerkoff. Hows that for good grammar.
You can’t go wrong with Katz!!
I just discovered your channel with my son and we both love watching your reviews. We watch them for hours when he was home sick recently and now we are big fans.
Can't wait to visit NYC for some great deli sandwiches! Our options in Columbus, Ohio are limited.
Thanks for the video- going to Sarge,s!
Im from Boston and had most of them. 2nd Ave deli should make the list but a local New Yorker introduced me to Pastrami Queen which beats both Katz and 2nd ave deli. Shout out to Sarges as well.
Thanks for the recommendation. I ate at Sarge's for dinner when I visited NYC for the first time and was not disappointed. The Pastrami and Corned Beef Sandwich was delectable. My only issue was that the bread sliced could have been thicker so it wouldn't fall apart as you eat. But other than that it was terrific.
Going to New York soon, I’m definitely tryin Katz! Coming all the way from Ireland and this the first spot I’m hitting! Mouth is watering !
Great video! My wife and I are visiting NYC from Texas this week. We went to Sarge's tonight on your recommendation and got the pastrami sandwich #3, it was delicious! We even showed the waitress your video and told her they should put your picture on the celebrity wall :)
hahahahah thanks.
Katz’s deli is soooo awesome. They serves assorted pickles with your sandwich. I go the corned beef/pastrami combo
We went to Sarge’s and loved it! Thanks so much for the recommendation.
It’s worth every penny, so delicious
Sarge seems like the sandwich fell apart too much. If I pay $23 that sandwich better stay together.
Nice vid! I've had Katz's and 2nd Ave many times and there's something about the hand-sliced chunkyness of Katz's that makes it my favorite. 2nd Avenue is delicious too but machine sliced and lacks the 'mouth feel' of Katz.
If you want a real kosher deli sandwhich, the real deal, go to Essen Deli on Coney Island Ave Brooklyn NY. Ask for the Romanian pastrami.
Good call :0
and it's KOSHER, not traif.
It simply cannot compare to Katz's. Essen is the best glatt deli, for sure. But there's no comparison. Unless they want to offer fatty sandwiches sliced by hand.
@@dovrose5155 hand cut pastrami/ cornbeef & great brand of pastrami & cornbeef alot better than slicer cut deli meat ; plus fresh out the cooker
Sarge's was so good, making me so hungry now!
Great times ;) L.A next time.
Used to love Carnegie for pastrami. Took your advice and went to Sarge’s. Good advice. Much better than the stretchy meat at Katz. Thanks.
That guy behind them at 7:41 lol. My god, it's as if he's trying to stare a hole through them. He doesn't even blink.
As a native New Yorker, come on guys. This comparison is all over the place and inconsistent. A pastrami and corned beef sandwich at one place, just Pastrami at another and a Ruben at a third place. Rye bread, French banquet, vegetables, mustard, Russian dressing and sauerkraut. Russian dressing and sauerkraut is a Ruben which is a different sandwich style that will always be less dry. If you’re going to do a comparison of NYC best pastrami and/or corned beef sandwiches keep it consistent. Have a pastrami or a corned beef sandwich on Rye with mustard (the standard) at each deli. Also no offense to the guy from California that doesn’t like mustard but the pastrami sandwiches in Cali are as good as world famous Katz’s Deli (the oldest deli in the US)? You’re crazy. Ive spent a significant amount of time in Central and Southern California, the sandwiches don’t even come close. They are diner quality at best.
Exactly. They are comparing apples to oranges here.
100 percent agree get a pastrami and a corned beef separate 2 sandwiches how can you judge a pastrami sandwich if it has corned beef on it? veggie and russian dressing c mon !! you have not experianced a pastrami till you been to katzs
we are heading to New York later this year from Aus. thanks for the heads up from a proper New Yorker.
I believe, langers in California is the best pastrami sandwich ever , and way better than katz
Katz is far from the best, but it's a good place to go after a night of boozing in that area. Saved me from at least one hangover.
Yep Sarges deli is awesome pastrami on rye. Having lived in NYC and been to several. Add some potato salad and a cold Heineken beer you’re good to go!!!
Cool episode. Brother laughed at the big mouth part. Was this all in the same day? if so, how could you eat so much pastrami?! Happy new year, btw, Jon!
All the same day yep !! ha ha thanks .. say hi to brother and i appreciate the new years sentiments.
When Katz backed into the meat slicer he got a little behind in his work....OY!!!
Love ur Vlogs
Sarges looked the best even before you tried it, wish I didn't skip that one!
You missed out !
Katz's also has awesome French fries and split pea soup
❤️ streak fries
I live in NYC, so I’m used to the high prices but to pay even $19 for just one sandwich is crazy to me.
Metro detroit padtrami / cornbeef half pound 20 dollar range: it depend on brand of pastrami/ cornbeef
Sooooo glad you went to Sarge’s!!!!!! They are my must do every time I’m in NYC. I literally go from the airplane or train to the hotel right around the corner from there (SSMA Club) check in, drop of my bag, and walk to Sarge’s to get my sandwich and their vegetable soup. The BEST soup I’ve ever had in my entire life. No lies. They’re also my last stop when leaving. I get a sandwich, potato kniche, cheesecake and soup to go.
Yes make a part 2! I think Katz's was better!
Best pastrami sandwich on the planet with a Dr. Brown's root beer, steak fries and a hot dog. What a deli.
great!
Looks good😋😋😋Wow.
My yelp review of Sarges. We really enjoy watching you but have to respectfully disagree with you about Sarge's. "Ate here last Thursday, so disappointed. Service was slow and only 3 tables had patrons including ours. Waitress was distant and cold. Food was expensive, 25.00 per sandwich (2) fries, 1 wine, 70.00 plus tip. We saw Here Be Barr on youtube who said Sarges was better than Katz, not even close. The pastrami was like chipped pastrami which hurt the overall flavor for us. Bread was on the dry side not soft and pillow-ee like Katz. The fries we very good. We regret not having gone to Katz instead.
"
ok boomer
*Attended high school a few blocks away from Katz's deli. in the early '70s, my personal opinion is Katz's, whenever I make the mecca to N.Y.C. that's my first stop, thanks for the upload, fantastic reporting to a well-made video!*
Thank you sir .. im going to Sarges
3:55 "it's cheaper just for $19" . The pastrami looks more like corn beef. But I guess with all that meat, you can make 4 sandwiches if you took it home.
Katz's Deli IS great, and the sandwiches WILL fill you up. But it's also a definite tourist trap, in part because Meg Ryan's famous "orgasm" scene in "When Harry Met Sally" was filmed there. There's even a sign over the table indicating where she & Billy Crystal sat during the scene. Also, the place is ALWAYS crowded, even on "slow" days. So, expect to sometimes sit with total strangers. I'll definitely have to try Sarge's Deli next time I'm in NYC!
i've been to restaurants that seat total strangers at the same long table: in Amish Country and in Texas, and i even worked at one. it's a great way to meet interesting people from all over and, if the food's good, the ambiance can be tremendous! so don't dismiss the practice out-of-hand, William.
The other, older "famous" sign at Katz's is "Send a salami to your boy in the Army".
I've been to Katz a couple of times. The aura exceeds the quality of the sandwich.
It depends qualiry brand of cornbeef& pastrami ; otherwise it basic the same cut of meat
Yummy yummy
I miss Carnegie Deli! They would have been a good choice! But alas, they are no more!
This is in my wheelhouse - Katz's is where we should've gone after the meet-up!
My wife and I have been to Katz`s several times. We split a sandwich every time..more than enough for 2 people
The ONLY reason I wish I could go to NY is for the delicatessens. Thanks for this video. Please do Italian deli serving a meatball sandwich on sourdough bread. Do they HAVE sourdough in NY?
OMG how much for a sandwich...for that price I’d expect a full meal including drink and sides..😁😁
WELL DONE
Quite honestly,I miss the Carnegie Deli and their famous Woody Allen sandwich...but they closed at the end of 2016 after 75 years. Now that I live on the Lower East Side,I walk to Katz's for my pastrami and corned beef on rye.
Sarge's is a must, don't care what the others have to offer as Sarge's has all you need for an authentic corned beef or pastrami sandwich.
Highly recommended 🙌
It's spendy but the pastrami on rye is very good. You will take some back to mid-town. I have not tried Sarges but maybe soon!
The smoked meat sandwich at Mile End Deli is pretty great too
Maybe check out Carnegie deli- the sandwich I had there was excellent. You must then head up to Montreal and visit Schwartz deli and Dunn’s for authentic Montreal smoked meat. Oh boy now I’m hungry 😂
I lived like a couple blocks away bruh NYC BABY
Katz pastrami.......the end.
Check out David’s Brisket House in Brooklyn sometime. Great value and cool local spot
Yeah, a part 2 is very very very likely in the near future.. i could use some guest judges ;)
Here Be Barr You know we can eat! Need to get back to Sarge’s - it’s been a while
Hell yeah that was my fave in Brooklyn!
Try out haji's on 110th and 1st Avenue.Get a chopped cheese. One of the best spots for a chopped cheese. You would love it
Best sandwich I ate in 2018 was there. AWESOME chopped cheese, $5.00.
Pastrami with mustard on rye, pickles, potato salad and Brown's cream soda at Katz's.
I`m a Hell`s Kitchen boy, so I`m familiar with good deli....I only eat these monsters a couple of times a year, I put them into the same category as an expensive bottle of wine or Champagne....Thanks for sharing your video, it rocks !
Come to Cleveland and go to Slyman's and get a real corned beef Sandwich!!
2nd Ave deli was the best I have even visited,, but it was so long ago it was on 2nd Ave. (I moved upstate.) I liked that it was not a tourist trap. The atmosphere was completely different from all the others. More real. I will visit the new location when I return.
Looks great re:NYC -- Second Ave, Deli is still great, BUT the real challenge is what city has the best Delis? My nominee: Montreal! and the best deli in North America, Snowden Deli in Montreal.
Years ago there was this little sandwich place in Detroit that had corn beef that would just MELT in your mouth... They served it on onion bun… Everything was SUPER FRESH... Haven't tasted anything like it since... From New York to Los Angeles...
Making me hungray
So did you have the same for breakfast next morning? When I get to New York one day will know the place to go
ahahahha, i'm good for pastrami for the near future !
Looks Tasty
I can get a Pastrami Reuben for about $6-8 on Long Island at pretty much every deli.
Edit* Thanks to inflation my local deli is charging $10 for a pastrami and melted Swiss on rye.
ok but how do you rank the pastrami,,, if Katz's is a 10
I stay in LIC when I visit NYC. The Plaza Express Deli by Queensboro Plaza is awsome and less than $8 for the largest sandwich. (The Ruben and American were my favourites). Katz does have better pastrami but not $25 worth.
How much ounces is pastrami sandwich
Sandwich prices is usually the how much onunces of meats
@@0mnicide i used to work in a deli :: 8 ounces in a pastrami or cornbeef sandwich ; 4 ounces half sandwich ;; pastrami / cornbeef;;; best straight out of the cooker no water cooling; takes taste out
Katz is awesome the one in Houston is lit.
I don’t think Sarge’s beats Katz’s. Don’t lose sight of the fact that you had just meat and mustard on Katz’s sandwich whereas you had Russian dressing and coleslaw on Sarge’s. You should compare apples to apples in order to make a fair comparison. I also recommend Pastrami Queen for a superb corned beef on rye.
Are Russian dressing and/or coleslaw even traditional things to have on a pastrami sandwich?!!
Only if you order a pastrami Reuben
Come to Cleveland, Go to Slyman's Downtown, if you want to see a great sandwich!
Go TRIBE!
I love Slyman's
Try living outside of NYC for a few years. Everything in NY will be a 5/5 by comparison.
Milpool ....only if you consider the delis...
Only foods typically associated with New York, but you're not gonna find let's say Tex-Mex foods in New York that even come close to what you'll find in the Southwest!! Bagels, deli food, pizza, sure.
Aaaahhhh New York delis. I do occasionally miss NYC delis, you can get most any sandwich and any way you like it. I think someone may be able to make a vlogging career on NYC delis, well at least a pretty beefy book (no pun intended).
The Fillmore deli's small Pastrami on Rye sandwich for $10. I usually grab a sandwich for lunch and return to the office, I'd need a nap after those monster sized sandwiches.
Carnagie Deli was my Favorite. Katz came up #2 to ME.
I've enjoyed a lot of your videos. In regards to Sarge's deli. Could you order a couple pounds of pastrami to take home to make your own sandwiches?
Aaaahh New York Delis. I occasionally miss the delis of NY. In many of them you can have your sandwich made anyway you like it. You could spend quite a bit of time just vlogging on NYC delis, it may be able to be its own channel or at least a pretty thick book.
I think you could say that about Pizza places to.
Katz's has good quality meat but not the best. Their mustard is the best deli style I have ever had. I grew up nearby and we had them cater the last couple of funerals and they did a fantastic job. 2nd Ave Deli was the best in the neighborhood until they moved. Their pickles were incredible.
1. Second Ave Deli OPEN and moved to up to E33 St Murray Hill. 2. Pastrami Queen (not King) Lexington Ave UES 3. Ben’s Deli Manhattan!
Hi
Gonna be staying at Times Square Sheraton. Can you recommend a good deli close by? Thanks!
IT WAS!!!! THE BEST IN THE WORLD!!! MISS IT SOOOO MUCH!!!
I think that I saw Morton Saltzman in the background
Rye bread is awesome deli staple. Bummed its costly, but yeah NYC is
If i went there I would get my sandwich, bring it home and break it down into 4 smaller ones.
Love the information.I plan on visiting New York in the near future.I want to come. For you all wedding
I was half alsleep.lol! I was looking as wedding videos.
The bread at sarges was falling apart as you were speaking lol
Santiago deli (139 st and Broadway)
Anyone tried Dave’s brisket house ?
This is the big budget food challenge. Start a GoFundMe if you ever do a NYC steakhouse challenge.
Ughh.. yeah we split everything 50/50 so I spent my own money on this one.. but honestly i'd rather not get it for free so I can be objective.. and INCREDIBLE idea lol.
Been eating Pastrami in NYC since 1945. Nineteen-forty-five. Three quarters of a century (3/4). Nothing, nowhere, not on this planet, is there anything like Katz's. Wasn't, isn't, never gonna be. I hate the crods there - I hate the chairs there, and I certainly don't like the prices there. BUT! If you want a knish - square or round, or a latka and a Dr. Brown's and a real pickle, a pastrami sandwich which is better than ***. Katz's- before Paris, before a trip to the moon, before you win the lottery and before you die. (I do not own, nor am I in any way affiliated with this old place. I'm not even Jewish.)
How on earth did you eat all of that food in one day...let alone one week...? I know you are young but good grief two bites and I would be full for the rest of the day. It all looks so good!
PNonone talks about Katz's dining room. The back room. As of '21,while waiting in line with a group of four, look for the waiters coming out front to find the groups. Table service in the back dining room.
I enjoyed Ben's Kosher in Midtown...all though i dislike visiting mid town. The "sangwhich" was good and the pickles were excellent.
@Anthony you ever had bicks pickles? they suck something fierce. I was also there on vacation...i was having lunch. should i carry around a jar in my back pack next time?
@Anthony also the pickles came with the meal.
