Favorite sandwich: Pastrami on Rye

   When deciding where we should go for lunch for our final day in the city as a family, my dad gave us a few choices, one being Katz's Deli. I had heard of Katz's multiple times, including very recently on The Food Network's show The Next Food Network Star, so of course I had to try it. When we arrived, we were expecting to see a long line out the door, but we sucked it up and waited, and thankfully, it wasn't too long a wait. The inside of the restaurant is ginormous, and yet it was still extremely crowded. Some people were lined up at the counters to order their food, and some people immediately sat down at a table to be waited on. Thee pictures along the walls of people who had visited in the past, the crowds of people, and the amount of selections on their menu set the perfect ambiance for a classic New York Deli.






Here's what we ordered:

On The Next Food Network Star, Katz's pastrami sandwich was featured, so I decided that if I was going to order one thing, then that would have to be it. After just one bite, I was addicted. The pastrami was so soft and it was so incredibly easy to eat. The pastrami had such amazing flavor, and smoked perfectly that it was so juicy and delicious. This  was definitely the best pastrami sandwich I have ever eaten…

My mom ordered the Katz's brisket, served on rye bread with gravy on the side.  I took a bite of hers and it was super flavorful and tasty. Although I claim my sandwich was the best of all of ours, my mom still thinks hers takes the cake. 

My mom ordered a bowl of matzo ball soup with her sandwich. The matzo ball was huuuuuge, but so fluffy and tasted great! The broth was also super flavorful and tasted like the perfect homemade matzo ball soup.

My dad ordered a corned beef AND pastrami sandwich. Could it get any better than that?

I will definitely be going back to Katz's very soon. I am craving another pastrami sandwich right about….now. If you haven't been here, you MUST go and try it soon! But seriously…go.

XOXO,
