Behind the Pastrami Counter at Katz's Deli

[@Jimmyfresshhtube]

Finally got to go here last night and they give you a few slices of pastrami while they make your sandwich. Any way the pastrami literally melts in your mouth. No words. It blew me away. Expensive as hell but worth it as they pack on the meat and did I mention it literally melts in your mouth! The flavors were unbelievable! They even have two security guards at the door lol I recommend you go here and walk towards the bars and clubs and get some drinks and enjoy the unique area and then grab some 99c pizza!

[@howardwayne3974]

Actually those guys are there to help you into your cab !!! You're so stuffed you need help !!

[@BaahBen]

I enjoy listening to him speak. He's the perfect owner to a place that makes a perfect pastrami sandwich..now that the Carnegie is gone (my favorite - machine sliced). Katz's is great...Today, it's them and Harold's NY Deli in Edison, NJ as the two best.

[@randallwu4364]

Had my first pastrami sandwich at Katz's in 1969. I was back in NYC with my son in January and we had the iconic pastrami sandwich. There are few things I can eat now that I can say are as good as they were in 1969.....Katz's Pastrami on rye is on the TOP! Please don't change!

[@eater]

We could watch Katz's cut pastrami all day.

[@flickerman68]

Watch and eat. Okay..getting home might be difficult but we must sacrifice for art!

[@lloydkline6946]

Looks beyond delicious the pastrami

[@lloydkline1518]

❤ used to work in deli pastrami best comes out of straight out cooker to :: no water cooling down with water ; great brand of pastrami

[@markrubin9449]

I went to Ktz's and ordered a Corned Beef sandwich from the waiter (Server). He turned towards the counter and yelled out, " Von Corned Beef, Von", then he ran behine the counter and made it.

[@ariebrons7976]

i don't think it has to do with minerals, i just think that the meat is prepared by passionate, talented and skilled people and that's the secret to the flavour

[@Animaniafreak]

wow that looks amazing! we don't really have anything like that in Sydney, our pastramis are cut paper thin :(

[@imanacer]

Ah, so the black on the outside is the rub, the spices, which give the pastrami that incredible taste, huh? Then why do we see the carver knock half a pound of pastrami with that tasty rub onto the floor when he's carving it? 1:31

[@JOSHUAHEROO]

imanacer That's a waste of fucking meat, I was pissed when I seen that.

[@squashhead1374]

I'm pretty sure that is fat.

[@sunilmenon7149]

Same pinch

[@BruinEric]

Some sections of a beef brisket have a thick fat cap on top. Surely that was what was cut off and discarded.

[@Alejo__]

Anyone know how much they pay their cutters?

[@annek1226]

Jesusjuice32 they pay them what they are worth! Forget applying for a job, they have no turnover!

[@lloydearle4377]

[@pcuser80]

@ 1:30 Trowing meat on the floor?????????? very strange

[@cowboysruntheeast781]

It's a non-edible membrane that needs to be removed before the meat can be cut. There's probably a small trash can that he's throwing it in. ( i know this response is 2 months late. Lol.)

[@winggirl0798]

If it's steamed at the end, why is the pastrami so dry when you get your sandwich? Mine was terrible.

[@chacha672]

I am getting so hungry watching these videos Yum Yum, I am going to order next week l To have them ship to me.

[@emilybh6255]

Do they put Sodium Nitrate in their pastrami?

[@LONDINESE95]

Just been there last week after dreaming for years to try their pastrami sandwich as I live in Uk. Sadly the bread tasted very old...pity as the rest was really nice. For $22 I would expect a fresh loaf, not a big asking.. (I was there at 4pm, not as early bird with the risk of being given yesterday left over bread)

[@barrycohen311]

Best meat I have tasted in all my life. Better than any bone-in, tomahawk rib-eye.

[@ralphiew98]

Dont get me wrong, ask extra breads more Cole slaw making 2 sandwiches, plentiful, go to food hall in Philadelphia half price almost the same as Katz's

[@larsulrich63]

At 1:32 the cutter puts the friggin thing on the floor!

[@ANATURALDREWSASTER]

+larsulrich63 it looked like a bunk piece of meat, you don't stay in business this long by doing things wrong, so i wouldn't judge to hard.

[@joshuafreeman6720]

he was removing the fat cap, if its too thick im sure customers would bitch they got too much fat. i dont know why, my pastrami always turns out where the fat melts nicely and is really nice on the sandwhiches.. its a waste yea but its their business

[@annek1226]

Steven Lanza Actually if I remember correctly they have bins at each cutters station for waste material!

[@jacquelinesternberg8461]

OMG... this makes me yearn so much to be in NYC and taste real food again. Living in Pennsylvania's heartland, there's what they call chicken pot pie here, which is a sloppy, bland noodle mess in a cup, with some bits of chicken floating in there... not even CRUST as in a real pot pie. BLECCCHHHH... I want real pastrami and corned beef!!!

[@traceycrosss]

Thanks for that. I have a Jewish deli quite near me.

[@Materva-hv6sz]

+tracey cross My understanding is pastrami is actually corned beef, but if has a specific rub and is cooked with specific techniques. A reuben has corned beef in it, as well as Russian dressing and saurkraut. Im not sure if its always on rye, but I think it is

[@traceycrosss]

+Materva 1974 thanks for that. I will keep an eye out for some. I would love to make my own though.

[@TIdaSouthernKingpimp]

There is literally half a cow in every sandwich

[@susangoldsamt7338]

Nowadays our family regularly gets mail requests for donations to our county food bank, and to Feeding America. And in this video and others portraying Katz's, we see the carvers discarding entirely edible yet possible less 'attractive' portions of the pastrami! Why does Katz have a policy like that? Where is that discarded meat going? Don't they realize the need other families have for that food? Where is their social conscience? If they gathered together fhat cut away meat and bundled it (within health standards) to food tables of needy people, would it be so difficult? Jake Dell, think about that suggestion, it would be a wonderful mitzvah.

[@imisstoronto3121]

Its most likely the fat cap

[@broadwaychris]

Yeah, but I've been a semi regular for many years and I never saw *this* particular 'schmuck' busing tables or cutting while 'learning the Katz's way'. Just an observation.

15000 pounds of pastrami every week. The cutters waste 2/3 of that while making the sandwhich. Can feed 100 homeless people with it, Stop wasting meat you are a disgrace

[@ariebrons7976]

it's super kosher (the best quality meat on the market )

[@ariebrons7976]

dmfub2348 you will be sprised how much of a bargain you are getting: the meat they're using is the créme de la créme of meat. 1 kilogramme of this meat cost +- $500 (this is from a mcdonalds cow with no certificate ) plus $ 100 for the "but" certificate (it's kosher, but... ) plus $ 250 for the it's kinda kosher cretificate plus $500 for the glatt kosher plus $1000 for the "this will make most rabbi's want to eat more kosher then they already do"certificate katz uses the gladt so $1000 per kilogramme. each sandwich needs about 100 grammes of meat. did i mention taxes?, insurance?, maintenence?, paycheques? if they charged less they would go bankrupt. they're litteraly scraping togedder pennies
