I just had a pastrami Reuben from Norton's for lunch. You can tell it's a good Reuben when it falls apart in your hand.

[@Ricopolico]

No, you can tell it wasn't assembled correctly. The structure of a sandwich is as important as the ingredients.

[@mr.elastomeric1787]

@@Ricopolico So true its a fine line.

[@andnear0U812]

The hot pastrami DIP is the Southern California way to eat it... on a Hoagie roll with nothing more than mustard. Been doing that in Los Angeles since the 1920s.

[@shanaeshafree7692]

Yes!!

[@HRTsAFyre]

Topps Jr on Main St near Freemont in Alhambra, Ca it puts The Hat to shame. I recall going to both Topps and The Hat in Alhambra with my dad as a child in the 60's we bought one from each place for the taste test. Topps Jr by far has the most tender, tasty and stacked pastrami dip sandwich. They did back then and still do today. The pastrami, mustard and pickles on the roll is so good. It just melts in your mouth. An older of fries is like a shoebox full and they are really fresh great tasting fries. Topps Jr. is still at the same location and it's still a dive that doesn't appear to be much of a fast food joint, and if you blink you may miss it because its street presence isn't very noticeable. They have a tiny parking lot in back for maybe 5 cars and some street parking. Today they are by far even better than The Hat because the Hat declined in quality and quantity since they branched out to several locations. Give Topps Jr a try. You won't regret it. I will drive there to get a pastrami or ve disappointed with anything else nearby. I even have a Hat not far from me now in Glendora. I will go to Alhambra for Topps any day.

Ohh how I miss my California pastrami sandwiches..moved away 10 years ago and have not found a sandwich that even comes close 😔 I now live in New Mexico .

Sorry but Dennis Miller is a California boy I know in my heart of hearts he had the best pastrami sandwiches when he was working in New York and all the comments you see of people saying it’s the bomb they’re all from California I’ve been there it sucks with a S and I’m from Jersey

[@evascott4745]

Me encanta el pastrami

[@edwardsmith3532]

Bruh, the pastrami is the star of the show. Don't take away from that. Pastrami, mustard mayo, butter and toast that bread. Swiss cheese. Simple.

[@travelingtheworld8224]

Never had mayo on a pastrami sandwich. Must be a west coast thing. On the east coast it's mustard only.

Pastrami fries: Cook up some russet potato fries all nice and crispy and toss w/ kosher salt; Pastrami , pepperoncini, and bacon in a skillet w/ butter until fragrant, get some cheap-ass cheese sauce and heat that shit up; mix that all together in a 500 degree oven with some shredded cheddar on top until melty. Drizzle w/ homemade ranch dressing. Boom! Perfect drunk snack.

Sorry, Katz is King, Cali has some runner-ups but get off the plane at JFK and go straight to Katz, have it on Rye with mustard and the case is closed. then have a nap.

Lol Katz is just a tourist $$$ trap, many say Langer’s is better anyways.

I wonder what Katz's Deli in NYC thinks about the Pastrami.

[@magicpen6666]

sevenfitsorage my guess is not favorably, can't beat tradition with all these silly bells and whistles

[@Pinatubobr]

+sevenfitsorage I agree with you.

[@stevelogan5475]

It may not be as good as Katz's, but if they are using the proper cut of meat for pastrami from the navel area of the cow, and use the right spices, and cook it properly, you can make a pretty rightous pastrami. If you use the brisket you are not going to get the proper tenderness of pastrami with that melt in your mouth flavor. Brisket is for corn beef, and although it is also delicious, and can be tender, it is not going to match the tenderness of pastrami.

[@briangleason5597]

They sent a Russian spy, and are not worried. They did find out thou, Hillary is a guy.

[@johnbonh9157]

@T3dUbZzBOii 36 Wait is it really 31$ for a Pastrami sandwich there? I've never been so i'm honestly curious. No thanks i'll get a super good steak instead for that price.

[@vagoeart1262]

Arrys in montebello or the hat famous pastrami

[@STILLNIGHTPEARL]

Andy F Arry’s for the price has the best pastrami, the hat is ok, would be better if they stuffed it as much as Arry’s does.

Topps Jr in Alhambra. Been there since the 50's beats the Hat.

They should salt the tomatoes

AMEN

[@20yearsago88]

Their pastrami looks like the packaged market stuff

[@stevelogan5475]

People should eat what they like, but if you crisp up the pastrami until it tastes like bacon, with the average price of pastrami sandwiches, you could get a 1 to 2 pound bacon sandwich for less money, i am confused a little on this one.

[@fredkapp498]

Real deli never would serve this is the gentiel Santa Barbara version cooked on griddle real deli meat comes out of steamer hot not a grill like bacon pastrami is not Jewish bacon freaking goohem

[@travonjones]

Frankly Speaking Yep with lettuce and tomatoe and onions with peperchinis mustard and mayonnaise

[@emintey]

The guy has a drawer full of cold sliced so-called pastrami which he then throws on a flat top to fry it up crisp. One customer said admiringly "it tastes just like bacon!"". I just watched in stunned disbelief as Guy acted like this was all cool.

[@stevelogan5475]

I will tell you one item that is good on pastrami though, and that is softened butter on the bread, also, if you decide to eat somewhere that is far less expensive, try softened butter on turkey pastrami, it is good, and cost about 1/3 the price of most beef pastrami sandwiches.

I think more people would know who the hell Dennis Miller is if he stuck with his original talent which used to be acting! Not sure what happened to his acting career, maybe he had a falling out with Jeff Katzenburg or something....you knows?

[@seansloan5]

Probably All of Hollywood tried to rape him, or force him to watch producers rape children so that he could get acting work. So he said no and does a radio show from Santa Barabara...where people dont whore themselves out to work....#Metoo style.

I went this past Saturday and WOW lets just say the most disappointing sandwich of my life and to make things worse was that i was telling my son u gota try this (best pastrami) u will ever have and bam it well i cant say it sucked because it was ok but there was like only not even a hand full of pastrami even my boy was like ,its ok because he didn't wana insult me I was like this SUCKS where's the pastrami ? I know Covd and meat prices went up but i paid $13 for a sandwich that had like a quarter o what THE HAT puts in there sandwich . Cant say I wasn't warned my brother told me don't go to Norton's there not like b-4 so ima tell u guys DONT GO TO NORTONS THERE NOT LIKE B-4 , If u do go after u order your sandwich just with the other half of sandwich make 1 because u will be disappointed and will not taste the pastrami at all
