If you want the flavor from the carraway seeds to be more prominent in the bread, put the seeds in the water you're gonna use for the dough and boil 'em up and let cool to the desired temp (or add cool water).

I’m watching these sandwich videos because I want to try my hand at a few of them to give me something to do while I’m all cooped up, and god this one is making me miss my deli soooo bad!

Some of my fondest memories are growing up and going to Shwartz Deli with my grandfather. Medium fat smoked meat with a pickle and Cherry Coke. Every time as we were leaving, the old guy behind the counter would toss me a paper bag of dried karnatzle on the house. Thanks for the video. Bringing me back.

Yup, the cutter would always hand us kids a piece of karnotzle when you walked in. We'd get the corner, too, because the head cutter Johnny, who passed away a few years ago, was a family friend. Everyone says medium fat is the best but i have to admit having always preferred medium, if the cutter was good, because he could mix just enough fat in to make it perfect. A good cutter would mix briskets if one was on the dry side, because each one was different. Oh, and a half sour pickle is great, even better than the dill, and a slice of picked red pepper is great, too, to balance the fat in the sandwich.

it's actually alot bigger in actual size than what you see in this video, I would say between .7- 1lb amount of meat. It's literally 2 meals in one sandwich. It takes them about minimum 30 days to go from brisket to corn beef and smoked to the pastami. they need cutters because it will break if you put it through a slicer. and the moment you hold it in your hand, it falls apart (that's how tender it is) super messy too.

Wow, impeccable sandwich at the end there. These get better and better. I think I'm missing something though - how was the montreal smoked meat sandwich incorporated here? You used the wet brine from pastrami, and also I thought just the deckle which smoked meat sandwich guy says is pastrami style rather than whole brisket for Montreal style. Probably being dumb but want to clarify in case I try and copy this fusion on my own. For some U.S. based sandwich suggestions dear to my heart - Chicago Italian Beef, Lobster Roll (though not much to recreate here), Muffuletta, Philly Roast pork or Cheesesteak, and last, SF style Dutch Crunch bread (though unfortunately not a specific sandwich. Many shops have a Korean bulgogi sandwich that's popular on this bread, and seems like the kind of thing you'd be into demo-ing on this series)

I don't know why he bothered talking about Montreal Smoked Meat sandwich when he had no intention of making one.

Live in Montreal. Went to NYC. Tried pastrami. Loved it. Love them both!

This video is perfect! I live in Croatia, and last summer I visited Montreal and had amazing smoked meat sandwiches; and my girlfriend visited NY and had that same pastrami sandwich in that same deli you visited. We both returned home amazed at how great those sandwiches were, and planned on returning next year to eat them together. Now, I can try (and probably fail, since it is super complicated and long) at recreating your recipe! Thank you for this video :-)

it's pathetically overpriced and completely antithetical to the smoking process in general. The brisket is historically one of the cheapest cuts because of how tough it is. the smoking process evolved over time in poorer parts of North America to take cheaper cuts of beef and pork and cook them over low heat for long periods of time to tenderize the meat and make something cheap and tough, tender and edible. you now see these gentrified ass smoked meat shops with the word 'artisan' all over yuppyville USA, charging 3 or 4x what an actual good deli or BBQ place would by some guy named Tanler or Chad

Mile End in London is also a historically Jewish district and a great place to get a salt beef bagel/sandwich, pastrami is always available but any Londoner/Englishman will always get the salt beef.
