Katz's Delicatessen

One East-West Coast comparison we wanted to make while on our trip was New York's Katz's versus Los Angeles's Langer's pastrami sandwiches. So off we went one gray and misty morning.

The hand cutting is always fun to watch! Somehow, it just tastes better than machine sliced. Something about the rough edges ups the flavor profile for me. It's why, for example, pulled pork is better pulled than sliced.

The sandwich was great! I liked that we asked for some fatty portions. As for which is better, I'll have to say tossup on the meat, and better bread at Langer's. Pickles win hands down at Katz's though!
