Hey, looking good. It takes a while to customize Wordpress. But hey, in the end it is worth it. It still takes time to write and upload content. But at least you don’t have to write in HTML (although it helps to know). The site looks very clean. And thanks for the link. Still trying to get the London / Paris posts written.

Oh God, I’m drooling for that sammich. I need to hit up my local deli for some good eats and to restock on mustard.

Lettuce?! Are you kidding me? That’s cole slaw! Cabbage! Eastern European, and Ashkenazi i would imagine. And of course, Russian dressing. As for the cheese, it is listed as one of the numbered choices on Langer’s menu, so as far as I’m concerned it’s legit. Your mileage, of course, may vary.

That said, this was from a much older visit — these days I prefer just my pastrami on rye with mustard, as you said. So, is it legit now?

At least I know better than to order it on white bread. I heard Milton Berle quoted on NPR the other day as having said, “Anytime someone orders a pastrami sandwich on white bread, somewhere a Jew dies.”

I’ve heard that about Katz’s Deli, but honestly … what the frak do I need with six times more pastrami than this on a sandwich, unless I’m going to stuff it into a doggy bag and take it home and make six more pastrami sandwiches? This really was enough for me.

We did get a bunch of free pickles, but not enough to spell Dave’s name properly.

Is that lettuce? And Thousand Island, or maybe Russian dressing? And CHEESE??? On a pastrami? Chuck, that is just wrong. It should be just pastrami and mustard on rye. If you want, you are allowed to put Swiss and Russian on a corned beef sammich. But lettuce has no place on a Jewish deal sammich.

Also, you get about six times more pastrami at Katz’s Deli here in NYC. And the pickles are free (I like their half sours in particular, and when you ask they give you at least 5 or 6 spears.).
