I sure miss Huell. What a treasure he was.

[@juanitataylor6947]

So true so very true against the Lord needed him worse than we did

[@boowiebear]

Huell is a human delivered from outer space whose brain is wiped everyday so all information and encounters are filled with wonder and delight. Doesn't sound too bad.

[@hell0hkitty]

""looey......can you believe this.......?''

[@debsreno911]

Child like wonder.

[@chrysopylaedesign]

Exactly!! That is the encapsulation of the Huell Howser experience. "...Pastrami!??? Oh, my God!!!...."

[@RedBud315]

"That's Amazing!"

[@Tundra1028]

He was the best.

[@mylifeisJDM]

We need Huell now more than ever. Great episode

[@riottonitedragon8344]

😅

[@steveogee7458]

I miss this level of humanity. Just wonderful!

[@dwessels100]

Huell you are sorely missed. R.I.P.

[@k.shecky]

The original vlogger❤

[@bobby350z]

I miss Huell. Always loved his shows. Need more people like him.

[@malovina]

I met Mr. Howser at CSUN when he did a talk in Oviatt Library. :) He was phenomenal and my absolute inspiration. What an absolute bright sunshine.

[@jimvinespresents...8463]

Huell was (and still is) the best thing on TV...and now he's the best thing on KZbin! Yes, he is deeply missed.

[@gsxrsquid]

I prefer my Pastrami from the HAT. Every time I go to southern California I go back to Alhambra for one of those luscious pastrami's

[@johantrenier1685]

Same. Had one last week. 👍

[@Garth2011]

Valley Blvd and Garfield Ave !

[@gsxrsquid]

@@Garth2011 The original. Best there is.

[@mylifeisJDM]

The head chef was initially annoyed but ol' Huell won him over.

[@gusmendez2564]

haha I love Huell. Really taking one for the team eating all those sandwhiches.

[@n.anderson7407]

Still missing you Huell❤

[@JoseSantos-ks9me]

Learned so much about California by watching huels program. Heul knows how to maximize the opportunities of the California experience.

[@MrHerberttarlek]

I miss you Huell. Sleep tight my old friend

[@anthonyscira2511]

Miss that guy. Lots of great KZbin travel channels are carrying his torch. Randomland Adventures is almost as good. But Huell is irreplaceable.

[@jimberry2297]

Why can't life be simple and beautiful again?

[@rodneybiltman2005]

I love this man. I grew up watching him. Great passion commands respect. 1

[@RedBud315]

I like how he said beautiful, beautiful, beautiful piece of meat for Langer's Pastrami. I wish he had gone to The Hat as well. Even though they have multiple locations they could blind fold you and you couldn't tell if you were eating a sandwich from the original or any of the other location.

[@denabergman6543]

Huell had that child-like curiosity on everything. He was a Southern California treasure.

[@Garth2011]

Dill pickles and yellow mustard are the best combo on a roll dipped in the juices.

[@samsung5181]

Huell, so awesome.

[@ecstasteve]

national treasure.. he hit the best pastrami spots as well

[@stevedouglas7375]

KCETOnline, would you please let us know when this first aired. I know I'm not the only one who would like to know when these episodes first aired. It's about nostalgia and allowing us to remember where we were when we first saw a given episode. As I type this our country is on fire. It would be nice if we could reference the year when Huell's programs first aired. Thank you.

[@g2rc]

I agree with you 100%!

[@stevedouglas7375]

@@g2rc Cool. Thank you.

Hi Steve Douglas🙋‍♀️, This episode Visiting with Huell Howser, Pastrami originally aired on, January 27, 2011. Shalom.

[@chiprahn]

Speaking from a wealth of personal experience, Langers is the _good stuff._

[@halfdome4158]

Agree.

[@lauriechristmas5494]

I had heard of Langers many times … Looks delicious … && The way Huell has his “”SMELLS “” .. We can literally smell it …. Then Johnnie’s pastrami restaurant …. DEFINITELY NOT JUDGING BETWEEN EITHER … (Have swallowing issues with my esophagus … many procedures done … So Johnnie’s is the PLACE for me … So much easier to eat shaved meats … I CAN STILL SMELL THE PASTRAMI HUELL😱💯💯❤️❤️❤️🤣😂 … How I miss our BELOVED HUELL … So GLAD / HAPPY I told my Mom about Huell before Mom passed away … Huell was at conflicting times with Moms TV … Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardy … Can still see Mom .. Changing channels .. Mom finally watched Huell all of the time .. MOM WAS FOREVER GRATEFUL FOR MYSELF SHOWING HUELLS SHOW … I AM SO BLESSED .. WITH MOM && HUELL … MAJOR❤️❤️💯💯🙏🙏🌹🌹 18:08 DIFFERENCES MADE INTO MY LIFE💯💯🌴🌴🌹🌹🙏🙏🌹🌹🙏🙏💕💕🌴🌴🌵 … LIFE IS SO DIFFERENT NOW 😓😢💯🙏🙏🌹❤️💯

[@Arturo-sm1tb]

Langer looks like a real life of the party, ha? LOL.

[@robertwilliams-np6wb]

I met him at Phillipps one day. My sister and I were getting Pastrami dips. Huell was having Ham and Eggs. nice guy, just like on TV. Swore the Ham was the best ever.

[@zekelucente9702]

Like so many others all I can say is I miss Huell he was about as genuine as you can get. I’m glad that old Huell hasn’t seen what’s become to his beloved adopted state because it would break his heart.

[@Alexdrod]

Lmao at the lady stealing the restaurant's bowl in her to-go box at 17:03

[@philiproszak1678]

amazing. loved every second.

[@SwazAttack]

Alright...here it goes! 😂😂😂😂😂

[@jamesgretsch4894]

On the contrary it is not fattening. Carbs and sugars are fattening but protein and fats are not fattening, ironically. Okay the bread for the sandwich is fattening but not the meat.

[@ismaelpenalver4722]

The Hat ..in Alhambra on Valley Blvd.

[@kennethdavidii2734]

Have been there many times.

[@hughjanus7654]

Used to live by the one on caesar Chavez/riggin. I miss that place. ELAC attack! That being said Langers is still my favorite pastrami. That slaw In the sandwich changed everything And that apple pie with brandy sauce is pretty choice too. I can't wait to be able to go back home and pig out at the spots.

[@thatzombieplace]

If im going to Alhambra, its for the asian food

[@marcoaavila99]

The Hat can't compete with Langers!

[@danielmitchell5184]

I've never been to Langers for a pastrami sandwich, but I have been to Johnny's and I always enjoy their food. I grew up around the area and my family and I would eat there every other weekend and the food was so delicious! Looks like im making a special trip to Culver City in the next few days..

[@Moondoggy1941]

Johnny's on Adams or Johnnies seems to be some confusion? Thanks

[@Juancheros]

@@Moondoggy1941 Johnnie's at 4017 Sepulveda

[@Moondoggy1941]

@@Juancheros Thanks, I will check them out.

[@Garth2011]

Currently, Johnnies Pastrami Dips are $20.25 Feb 2024. Oh my that is expensive...

[@XXXGRAPENUTSXXX]

5:45 Wow!!!

[@samsung5181]

6:00 Dude was a bit too feisty. Huell was just being chill like always.!!!

[@hond4h34d]

Langers does have that unfriendly vibe...as long as the food is good, I guess.

[@riottonitedragon8344]

Lol yes 😅 love huell I’m so high.

[@smckay4996]

Langers vs Johnnie's vs Canter's vs Jerry's. Who's & What's, the "Real Deal"?

[@riottonitedragon8344]

Lol yesssss

[@xxllbb55]

GollIE !!!!!!!!! I found him !!!!!!!!!!

[@jaybloomfield5082]

It kills me when they cut off the fat while trimming the pastrami. The more the better!

[@keithnichols7926]

Food choice is almost totally subjective. And Huell only broadcast places he liked. Thus, he didn't pan anything. Although he might not be ecstatic about the food, he found some other distinctive feature to enthuse about. My favorite Huell video is the Warner Brothers tour, which has no food in it at all.

[@mrdave777]

Before Guy Fieri. Huell Howser.

[@user-vy4xx2qp3d]

He's right, everything in moderation no stupid KETO restricting

[@pepino735]

he was a 'good one'

[@sparklesmcgee]

The world has gone to hell in a handbasket since Huell left this dimension.

[@sp2435]

Johnnies is the best!

[@gregoryadkins2213]

I’ll pass on the second joint,looks(Tuff And Stringy)compared to Langer’s.

[@fredkapp498]

Ok ate at both not even close Langers. Some joints do LA style pre shaved thin then boiled or cooked on flat top. Langers as good as any deli in NY what makes west coast winner on this is the double crusted rye which Katz doesn't have. Katz pastrami is a litttle better but their rye sucks. I think katz brines theirs from scratch for 2 wks. I think Langers has made for them and they just finish in steamer. Most Delis in LA Brents,Canters,nate n als don't make too much in house anymore. There was a time when delis made all meats in house from brisket,roast beef, whole roast turkey, corn beef,pastrami even tongue. Btw love Huell but he's such a hay rube when it comes to food.

[@TheJnatch]

Its funny I was watching this and thinking how awful that Rye bread looks at Langers. But thats just how it looked to me on tv, maybe it is very good, I havent tried. But to say Katz rye "sucks" is just ridiculous. I suspect its better than Langers. To each his own.

[@dman030]

@@TheJnatch last video i saw about Katz, looked like they are just using white bread for the tourists.

[@Hanover-ek4jy]

Deli restaurants are disappearing across the country because young people do not find deli food very appealing!

[@jesussouless5124]

Damn what is up with that owner just looking at his eyes in the beginning. Chill the f out dude! 😂 OMG

[@JoyCool1]

Huell just goes and picks up someones plate!

[@kennethdavidii2734]

I haven't had a Pastrami sandwich in more that 8 years. :(

[@g2rc]

Well get on it! Life's short.

[@philiproszak1678]

I know. it's hard out there.

[@chrysopylaedesign]

Now we know. Huell was always a wicked Pickle Critique.

[@tloco1529]

Katz ain't got nothing on Langers and the price is not outrageous like Katz 😒

[@Riskmangler]

Love Langers! Better than Katz's.

[@schwartzenheimer1]

Norm: your pastrami gives all others' the 7, 8, and the break...(good to see you doing well since the YBD days)...

[@TheJnatch]

re the ladies at Johnnies, I was a bit perplexed by her suggesting this is better than NY but then I saw she puts pickles, lettuce and ketchup on pastrami so this lady is clearly clueless

[@fredkapp498]

Oye vey all she knews is mayo better than NY this 2 sister aren't exactly foodies.

[@JoseNavarro-gd9sb]

Been to Johnny's. No ketchup, lettuce or tomato. Don't know what your talking about.

[@jayinla81]

Love Huell. I’ve did Langers. Cool Spot. Maybe my expectations were too high as it is a very respected who’s who hot spot amongst blue collar types, but I gotta tell you, when it comes to pastrami Busy Bee’s in San Pedro is hands down the best in L.A. all due respect to Langers. :)

[@schwartzenheimer1]

Lettuce and tomato on pastrami, lmfao...Johnnie's , on the white bread side of town..

[@roadtrip2943]

Why get pastrami in langers when you can get grilled goat right on the street outside from a pail keep in the gutter

[@grilledlettuce1845]

Mexican making jew pastrami Ammmmmerrrrricccaaaaa land of the braaaavvvee

[@xxllbb55]

WHY AM I SHOWBANNED ?

[@furtherdefinitions1]

He needs to visit Katz's

[@michaelnajera901]

Feliks Gailitis no he doesn’t, that’s in NY so not California’s Gold

[@fredkapp498]

Katz pastrami a hair better however NY rye isn't double crusted. NY has great delis so does L.A. Now all other bread in NY blows Ca. away. Double crusted rye makes a big difference in a deli sandwich see that #19 hold its structure loaded w/ slaw and Russian dressing. Watch Katz rye breaking aparr after 1 bite. Full disclosure 20yrs since ate Katz and 10 yrs Langers. Gotta revisit Langers soon.

[@Nick-gk6hj]

Ehh...Langers pastrami not great. The best thing there is the rye, but they buy it from somewhere else. I think the pastrami also. Theres no good pastrami left in LA, unfortunately.

[@ronniedelahoussayechauvin6717]

A Whole Other Look...Johnnies...Sounds Shady

[@bluesky6449]

Langers has no comparison on earth. Johnnies is absolutely horrible.

[@daisymae3883]

Langer's pastrami did look better than Johnnie's.

[@JoseNavarro-gd9sb]

Love Johnny's

[@yardarm5]

Sorry but no masks looks better ❤

[@gabrielgolden4336]

It's a restaurant. Mexicans make everything in restaurants.
