    I think this calls for a video of places similar to Katz's that don't break the bank. A video on value for a single quality meal and not something you have to split for value. In philly we have Hershel's East Side Deli which is a great value compared to katz's.

    My grandfather took me to Katz’s first time in 1951; I’m now 74 and still enjoy going there for the pastrami. There is enough meat in the sandwich to feed four people. It is an institution for New Yorkers. When I was in the Army during the Vietnam war, my father sent me a Katz’s salami; which continued the tradition, since my grandfather sent him a Katz’s salami while he fought in the Pacific during WW2. There is a neon sign that has been there for over 80 years that says: “Send a salami to your boy in the Army”. I like Dr. Brown’s Cel-Ray Tonic; second choice is Dr. Brown’s Cream Soda.

I was there two months ago I brought three of my friends from Toronto and none of my friends were impressed with the Joe's Pizza, btw it was cash only, I'm not a fan of the cash only establishment and that includes Peter Luger's.

    A great advantage of Katz and other NYC delis is that they have tongue sandwiches on their menu which is an excellent meat. It’s common for other delis outside of New York/ Jersey area to not have it on the menu.

    There is an old addage in the food business that states: "it does not matter what you charge as long as the quality and experience remains consistent"; this is why Katz's can get away with charging $26 for a pastrami sandwich. Before too long, it will be $27 for the same sandwich and I predict their business will be as strong as ever.

The first time I went, i was flustered because I was in the queue and didn't know what to have and didn't have much time to look at the options. lol. Now i know to just stick with the classic Pastrami on Rye (Corned Beef if I feel like it) with mustard and a Knish for good measure. Heading back over in February and can't wait!

    I’m sure if you stand out side and ask randomly for someone to buy you a sandwich someone will. A lot of people will eat there as a special occasion so buying an extra sandwich wouldn’t be a big deal if it’s like a once in a lifetime or annual visit. One time a stranger bought me a $27 glass of cognac at a bar in Manhattan since he was in a good mood.

    Another excellent eating video Jon. Like the way you put this video together by comparing these three "famous' NYC Restaurants. I need to get to Katz's Deli. There sandwiches are a ridiculous size but they look nice. I hate Pastrami so would need to try something else but other's in my family would share one. It does look quality Brisket. Long lines are the only thing that put me off. You really have to commit to going there. I also love the way New York does Pizza by the slice. Not a European thing although that Joe's Pizza looks like they use a ridiculous amount of Cheese. No one knows Pizza like you Jon so have to take your advice here. Nice you pointed out what Joe's did during the pandemic. Magnolia Bakery is not the type of food I like to eat. Great job an always.

    To put this into better perspective for those not living in the area: You are not paying $26 for a sandwich. You are paying for exorbitant labor costs, monstrous utilities and rent costs and a sandwich. Guys behind the counter are making at least $25/hour. If the business owner doesn't own the building, their rent is at least $50,000 a month. A MONTH.
