Indeed.
I'm drooling here. It used to be these cuts where the secret of chefs and peasants who knew they were the best part and cheap, cheap, cheap. Now offal is becoming popular and the price is skyrocketing. Beef cheeks, one of my favorite cuts, have more than tripled in price in the past few years.

So are these secrets brined, slow cooked, crusted with cracked pepper and served shaved & piled high on rye bread, with a crisp garlic dill?
No? I’ll take the pastrami, thanks.
Actually, I do like offal and grew up on my grandmother’s lungen stew, but pastrami is food of the gods.
YUM!! I was thinking of pastrami just today - does that ever look super!! Hope it comes with cole slaw. What city?
NYC...
Pastrami bacon cheeseburger on a sourdough roll...mmmm.
Loved this!
I hate to admit it, but the very best sandwich this Alabama boy ever ate was a pastrami sandwich at a deli in New York City on 5th Avenue at about 50th or 51st Street in the late 1990’s. Whatever sauce they had on it was awesome!!
sure it wasn't the Carnegie? it's at 7th Ave & 55 St
I don’t think so. From the office I was working in, I could look down on St. Patrick’s Cathedral in the same block behind us. After looking at a map, our building may have fronted Madison Av. I am pretty sure we walked less than a block to the north and the deli was on the east side of the street.
well, there's sure no shortage of good deli's in the city that's for sure
Been a bunch of years ago but I still remember the famous Katz.
Salami and Swiss cheese on a bulkie roll with deli mustard; one of the best in the world.
However, it’s VERY difficult to find good pastrami outside New York City, IMO.
You know the rest of the story.
Meanwhile during my 50 years (so far), I've had countless plates of fried clams, pastrami sandwiches, cheesecake, bottles of beer, etc., and I'm still in excellent health. Looking forward to another 30 or so years of decadence!

That’s corned beef.
Pastrami is usually cut thinner, has a spice bark, and is tighter. Damn it’s hard to find good pastrami.
Still make hot Pastrami on Rye at home.
