Surely there are debates on best pastrami in NY, but this is the one I tried when I visited. Mouth watering goodness!

    You’re probably right, but man I sure did try. And I’ve made pastrami since then using more traditional times. I make pretty ok pastrami, but there’s something in Katz’s that I just love.

      they also don’t use brisket exactly, it’s a slightly different cut, called belly or plate. something like that. not very easy to get a hold of.

        They’re using plate?!? That is harder to come by, but I have a source. I may give it another shot but it’s been so long that I’m not sure I could try to replicate it.

        I just found out you can order their pastrami online. I may order a pound and try again. Thank you so much for the info! Now I have months worth of pastrami testing to do.
