This Pastrami is Oakland’s Best Kept Secret | Word of Mouth
Вставка
- Опубліковано 12 тра 2021
- Chef Cash Caris and Anahita Cann are the owners of Pyro’s Pastrami, a homemade pastrami sandwich pop-up they operate near a train station in Jack London Square in Oakland, CA. A staple in NY-style delis around the east coast, pastrami is relatively unknown in the Bay Area; but Pyro’s is still a popular destination for diners who know the food or are just learning to love it. Cash’s labor of love is his intensive 30-day process that includes brining, smoking, and steaming his beef brisket pastrami. They make everything they serve from scratch, like their potato chips, sandwich bread, sauces, pickles, and more. Though still under the radar, Pyro’s Pastrami has found their deli-hungry fanbase in Oakland.

I showed up in Oakland not realizing that Delirama (their new home) was closed that day so I messaged Cash to ask him for recommendations in the area and he said "Meet me at the restaurant and I'll make you a sandwich."
And I did. And he did. And it was by far the best pastrami sandwich I have ever had. Thank you Cash. You're a fucking hero.
No one does a better job than Munchies at finding these unique restaurants/food stalls and introducing them to the world. Thank you to the entire team behind creating/filming/& editing this.
love you to greg. thanks for the support - its hard making these videos.
Your comment sums up my feelings - bravo! 🤩
@@sashasinger8262 Hi Sasha, did you create this video? I wanted to speak to Munchies about possibly editing for them. It would be a dream for me to be involved somehow.
with hookers
let’s not forget that all the people they interview are the corniest niggas of all time
Anybody else watching from the Bay Area getting ready to head over there? I’m salivating right now
I wish!
Can’t wait to get there and see a huge line 😭😂
Augie's is closer to me, so that'll leave some for you.
Gotta wait till Saturday :/ but you’ll see me there haha
See you Sunday!
This dude totally just hired a dominatrix a few times and eventually talked to her about doing his commercials and I'm very here for it.
What’s her name for research purposes lol
@@SoFreshNSerene Andrea
@@SoFreshNSerene It’s The Andrea Rosu! She’s amazing.
Holy Shit! I'm dying! I thought the same thing.

It's so hard to find good Pastrami nowadays. Restaurants claim they have pastrami but when you order it it's just sliced deli meat you can buy at the grocery store. This looks like the real deal, hand cut from a brisket with the fat still on it. Great feature Munchies!
Say it 🙌🏿
Yes. I grew up in LA and now reside in Texas. Can’t find pastrami like this here.. even the thin steamed pastrami sandwiches all the burger places in LA sell, I can’t find stuff like that either. Closest I’ve had was Yardhouse restaurant
@@siteone1354 you must miss The Hat huh? Awesome pastrami there.
@@ayosgsauce sure do, I lived down the street from the one in Monterey park near East LA college!
come to new york we have a few spots
You don't need a giant menu that's ok, you just need one thing that you do very well that's homemade and people will come. You're also going to save money on food costs and time spent on prep.
Those are usually the best places tbh
@@goose6941 Agree
Tell that to my boss
Did you hear the end of the video though? Dude is in over his head, and one step away from selling out to a corporation.
@@Exilitate exactly.
I really like how Munchies recently has been covering Bay Area spots. I can go to a lot of these places within a 30 minute drive.
same here, I'm in fremont and been to jack london a bunch of times the last few years and somehow I've havent seen this place. Gotta make a trip there soon
You must live round the corner from me! Hi neighbour!
Aren’t you special?
@@poppybell8217 You're special too.. special needs.
I was getting emotional about his stories
Then suddenly he invited a thicc mistress to film his ad
Lol wtf a complete 180 emotional roller coaster for me xD
lmaooooo forreal! i was like oh! ok!
I was just about to share the video with my parents who live near there. Then this... maybe I'll just have to take them directly. lol
I actually love pastrami and if I ever find myself in Oakland, I'll have to check this place out
Your comment was so wholesome. It brightened my day.
Oakland all bad !!!
There needs to be more companies like this. The company has a personality and caters to everyone, I can’t applaud them enough. To many large faceless companies are ruining small independent business that need our support.
True
I mean, you can't cater to "everyone". They cater to "all-inclusive" people, which is NOT racists, sexists, bigots, etc.
Many "Faceless Companies" are actually independent franchisees trying to earn a living. Just sayn'
@@neilkorsgaard And a lot of them started out small and independent. They just got more successful and expanded - you don't start out as big, faceless companies from the get-go.
That is one mean burn scar on his forearm. I've seen my fair share of them over my years in the restaurant industry.
Came here for this. Not making fun of the guy just damn that's a big burn
Doesn't look like a burn scar to me. I may be wrong. I am not going to get into it. That is his business.
@@adc2327 Pretty clearly a burn scar and I've seen my fair share in this business. Dude I used to work with had one in that exact same spot from spilling a pot of hot grease on his arm.
@@juliusebola9712 Ok. Like I said, it is his business, so I will not go there.
@@Bayg415 Of course. I wasn't going to go there, you did instead. Dana Black and others kept on about it being a burn scar. I work in healthcare, I know better.
One of the most genuine and inspiring personalities I’ve seen here. Cheers!
I really love this guy's position on everything about his business
Love how Vice puts small businesses in the spot light.
What a monumental labor of love. I had no idea how much work went into pastrami. These sammies look incredible 😛🤤
Food looks amazing & what a nice genuine guy wish him the best of luck
I dont really eat pastrami but if I'm ever in Oakland, you have a customer. I love eveything about this
I don’t even like pastrami but I became 100% invested in this story. Almost makes me want to give pastrami another try.
It’s who the food is made,and what makes your food so great.love and understanding in what you do,makes the food great,and who much heart and time you put in to who you want things done.
I absolutely love these types of interviews
I want to know more about that bread - it looks incredible!
My goodness those sandwiches look AMAAAZING!!
I sooo love you people. 😍 I have felt like abandoned all my life and I know how it feels to be on the outside.
I hate it. Every one wants to be with others! Good job on the path and journey. You are awesome! Reason why you 2 came together.
This looks soooo tasty!
I will be visiting this place soon! Looks AMAZING!!
Oh my God that looks fantastic!!!
This place looks so good. If I ever go to Oakland I know where I’m getting lunch!
I super love this video... the first place I’m hitting up when I get to Oakland... so much passion. ❤️
His passion for his creations is what’s making me smile 😃
Awesome. I love love love 💘 pastrami. I may have to try making this. I smoke and sell smoked pork belly salmon and cheese. I make my own Garlic dill pickles 😋 I would love to try your pastrami but I live in Southern California. I'm HAPPY for you and your business 🙂
He is one of the most pleasant talkers I've ever heard
it looks SO GOOD
I love pastrami ! I’m gonna be there as soon possible.
I always loved the Reubens at Chop Bar right nearby there. I'll have to try this place and compare!
Good things come to people who wait, but better things come to those who go out and get them.
I got a better one, who dares wins
Good things come to people who displace the locals and charge $24 for a sandwich I guess🤷🏽♂️
@@TakuacheReviews no one is forcing you to buy anything... you pay for quality. They literally just posted about raising money and putting one of the local homeless men in a hotel for a couple of nights and getting them some food. Every year Cash packs up food after Thanksgiving and passes it out to the homeless community. Complain about $24 all you want, but I’m more okay with spending that on 1. People who actually give a shit about others and not just themselves, and 2. High quality food that’s prepared with care vs. someone purchasing in bulk from Sysco and slapping their name on it.
@@kimberlykinner2192 that would be something a white person named Kimberly would say. I don’t care that they’re charging $24 for a sandwich. I care that they’re doing it in Oakland. Take that shit to Berkeley. I guarantee you most of their customers are not even native of Oakland🤦🏽♂️
@@TakuacheReviews “a white person named Kimberly” lol nice one, bud. Cash is my brother. Doesn’t do any good to assume you know someone over the internet, especially based on their name 😂. Prices in Oakland have been going up well before Pyros popped up. It sucks that the area is being flipped but that’s the entire bay. We can thank tech companies for that.
Also people should 1000% be supporting all small businesses. Taco trucks, hole in the wall taquerias, pho places, etc. It doesn’t have to be one or the other.
Oakland Ca always be having good ass food 💯💪💪
I live in SF. I’m so excited. See you tomorrow.
Cannot wait to sample this chef’s product. Looks great!
Will stop by this place when in the Bay! Thx Munchies
Omg can’t wait to try this love pastrami!
That looks so good
Munchies FREAKING LOVE YOU GUYS YO!!!
I have a few good spots for pastrami. It's a blessing.
Definitely stopping by sometime! It looks good 😋
I love pastrami and this one looks amazing
That thumbnail. *Y'all have a fine looking sandwich there.* Kudos!
Wow that looks delicious! I hope you could also make more fried donuts with different flavored glazes, designs and topings! Thank you!😍❤️
Omg looks AMAZING 😻
I grew up in that area and I will be making a trip to your place, looks delicious and I love your story.
I Dream to work there !! Greatings from France !
Looks so good!
Will be visiting them this coming week ✌🏼
I loved pastrami sandwiches from the deli when I lived in New York!
Tell me you’re into BDSM without telling me you’re into BDSM
"Though still under the radar..."
Not anymore.
Na this place still under the radar. It’s not near one of Oakland’s top spots. I’ve never heard of it. Looks great tho.
Jack London Square not a hot spot 🙄 GTFO
Shout out to this guy for including the pros ..our front line heroes since the beginning of history
Sounds amazing
I’m in LA and I’m driving to Oakland for this and a good road trip 👍🏾
I'm sure this is delicious but "best kept secret" makes it sound like a scrappy little place that's been around for a while... This place is relatively new and is located on what has to be the most expensive corner in Oakland/JLS. Not pooping on the food more the marketing tactic.
Hehe thanks Owen! I wish we rented out the entire space and it was our restaurant! The spot is simply a commissary kitchen we rent by the hour ( pop up), hence the limited operating hours. We are quite scrappy but we're trying very hard to get a brick and mortar of our own (a much smaller and lived in space).
@@anahitacann6323 appreciate the reply! Wishing you good luck. Oakland could use a true deli. Would love to see you put down roots in West Oakland. I'll keep an eye out.
Not so sure that the rent is highest over by jack london. There are safer spots with more traffic like uptown, rock ridge, temescah, 12 st by bart
Perfect type of videos to watch while you got the munchies.
About to take all the homies on a date! All 15 of us will be there! Y'all better be ready!
can I come ?
@@phoenixtodaro-ali6519 i don't know can you ? Hahahahahahahaha. Pull up homie to the block
sus
@@holgaholic your just mad cuz your boys don't take you out as a whole hahahahaha
Oh I m bout ready to get one now!!!
wow so amazing!!!!😍😍😍😍
This look real tasty 🤤 hope I can try it one day
Im in west Michigan and set to open in spring 2024 , my Pastrami is very close to this one , the cherry wood is key and abundant in west Michigan, don’t forget to toast the bread it’s another layer of flavor ❤
Dang. This looks incredible. Nice work!
I would almost do ANYTHING for a Pastrami sammich like that
Even mowing my lawn & painting fence??
@@deathtoallsinners yes
@@fkeita67 the talking won't get the job done....now would it..?!
That looks fire!
Cash you just inspired me brotha. Good stuff.
I normally do not eat Pastrami Sandwiches. However the next time I'm in the Town, I'm going to give this place a visit.
Looks delicious!
Once I get my motorcycle time to check this place out 😁.
The beautiful Bay Area yes sir can’t wait to go try that pastrami
Gonna get this tomorrow 😋
EID MUBARAK to ALL brothers & sisters 🙏🏻
Eid Mubarak! Grew up in Berkeley/Oakland ( B High '96). Live in DC now.
Islam is evil
@@princeofcamelot1487 why do you say that ?
What are your facts about Islam ?
Have you read the holy Quran ?
@@princeofcamelot1487 No one asked for your opinion buddy
@@joeyblack986 it's common knowledge
Love you story! So happy for your success and that you were not part of the statistic ending up on the streets!! Totally opposite, you end up as handsome and hard working men! Congratulations , I guess your little brothers are so proud of you and following your steps to became a great humans!!! Blessings ❤️❤️❤️👏🏽👍😁
Jack London Square is quite popular for food and other things, also this restaurant just opened up so I don't know how it's a secret. I am glad that they opened up and are on munchies although.
The best pastrami sandwich I've ever had is indeed in California. But not in Oakland, but rather Oakdale. A hole in the wall called Ferrarese's. Whenever I visit my brother in Sacramento, we make the 3 hour round trip. It's that good.
Thank you! I love a good pastrami.
@@true1love87 If you find your way out there, buy the tri-tip and Italian sandwiches too. The sides are pretty standard, nothing special.
I live in Modesto which is 20 minutes away, Imma go try that place out.
As soon as mentioned the days on the brine I liked the video!
Amazing
Delicious
GO GO MUNCHIES !!
the bay area has food that is second to none. so glad i grew up here.
Many blessings to all! Feed the revolution, if I ever get to the Bay Area I’m going over
Yeeeeeees! I must try.
Omg this place is gonna get a LOT of customers now lol I just had a super mediocre pastrami sandwich the other day without knowing about this place. That pastrami looks amazing!
I looked it up. It's permanently closed now
@@hevnervals Nooooooooo 😭 I was never able to get my hands on one. I blame the pandemic and the rise of crime in Oakland.
@@xoener Yeah you're probably right
I love a good team player
Been here. It is by far best in the bay. I have tried over 20 places in Bay Area and first that lives up to my rueben standards from nyc or Chicago
I’m definitely going
I’m going to support and buy when I. Go to Bay Area it is endearing that he makes pastrami
I live in Oakland and I’m going to try this tomorrow!!!
I'm going here Friday ASAP
Oh my ... I lived there for almost 3 yrs... I will be visiting next time I am in the O -Town!!!
Reminds me of the mid Atlantic pastrami back East. About time.
Yummy yummy 🤤😋
Please highlight more east bay restaurants!
Y'all...I love the shit out of this...I love smoked food and I've been trying to find the best recipe to make sous vide pastrami...thank you for the inspiration!
Ayyyy I gotta slide over there lol I was just at Ben and Jerry’s and walked right by them
As somebody who knows Oakland food, I’m baffled I’ve never heard of this place.
Looks delicious
