The sandwich looked pretty good, 9 out of 10. The price is typical Mid-Town Manhattan. The important thing here is that you enjoyed it, that's what counts.

There’s loads of info out there as to the best Pastrami delis in New York. You maybe should have gone to one of Katz’s, Frankel’s, Sarge’s, Second Avenue deli, Mendy’s - the list goes on. Mind you, the sandwich you had looked pretty decent, albeit a bit small maybe for the price?

'strami and/or Salt Beef definitely benefits from some Wallys & Mustard. Now, that has me recalling the Salt Beef, Mustard & Pickle Beigel I had from The Beigel Shop in Brick Lane...That was a thing of beauty!!!

It would be great to see some reviews of places that are away from Carnegie Hall. Head over to Brooklyn for example. You're paying tourist prices at pretty crappy places at the moment 👍🏻

It is brisket cured in the same way as ham is. Proper corned beef coated in pepper and spices.

Absolutely a New York classic 😊😋😋😋😋

Loving these New York vlogs DJ. x.

Pastrami is made from beef brisket that has been cured, coated in spices, cold smoked and then steamed. Pastrami's thick coat of spices typically includes crushed black pepper, coriander, mustard seeds, garlic and other spices that might be included in a pickling spice mixture. Pastrami has a rich, savory, salty flavor flecked with spice and smoke. It has a touch of tang, thanks to the mustard seed in the spice rub. It's a little fatty and peppery, too.

Authentic Pastrami that is made at the classic New York Jewish Deli's are made from plate not brisket. It's a much fattier cut than brisket.

@@Eric_G65 I believe pastrami originated in Romania and was mainly made from mutton or lamb but that American Jews introduced the use of beef, which was a more accessible meat.

100% Correct! Personally, I make mine with a Brisket Flat and a Pickling Spice that I have removed the majority of Chillies from. Blitz the Pickling Spice to a powder and mix with Garlic Powder and the (measured) Salt & Curing Salt. Dry cure and then cold smoke, rest, hot smoke to safe temp. rest and thinly slice.

​@@WaferBrikPastrami predates the Romanian's version. It was first cooked during the Ottoman Empire. Romanian Pastrami, before it came to the US, was made from Goose. The Jewish Immigrants that adapted it for the United States made it from beef because Goose was prohibitively expensive and also not easily accessible in quantity. They used the Plate cut, which is a very fatty belly cut of beef because like Goose, it was a very fatty meat that could stand up to the lengthy prep required to make Pastrami and still remain moist and tender. Those same Jewish immigrants introduced bbq's brisket, most notably to Texas and introduced Corned Beef to Irish immigrants that lived among the Jewish immigrants. Corned Beef and cabbage came from the Jewish neighborhoods in NYC. The Irish that immigrated to the US never ate Beef in their native Ireland because it was too expensive. They ate pork products instead.

You’re wrong about the Irish never eating beef. There was a Cattle act of 1663 that meant Ireland got beef from Britain for very cheap with low tax. Their corned beef was the best on the market and they then started supplying other countries. That came to an end and then yes, beef became for the rich in Ireland. The corned beef the Jewish community introduced was 100’s of years later and their own version 👍

Such a NYC classic ..pastrami on rye with mustard and a pickle . Remember and get a good Chinese meal too ( takeaway in a box ?) very distinct from our Chinese food. 👍🏻

Was on my bucket list to have `pastrami on rye` in new york, Made it happen, was about 3 inches thick and did not disappoint, a few years ago now.....enjoy your time in new york darren.

That sandwich looks amazing…I’m bloody starving now 😂

just relaxing and enjoying these from New York...basking in another wonderful hot UK summer.. 😬

The whole idea of why a New York half sour pickle is served with a pastrami sandwich, is to cut the taste of the fat. Much like the idea of the English combo of roast beef with horseradish.

Loving your New York diaries from the Heathrow lounge to the Brooklyn Deli. Try a Reuben also and give the dill pickle 🥒 some love. Safe travels, Darren!

The sandwich looked very tasty Darren….thank you…

that looked a very nice sandwich loads of filling hope you enjoyed it

Mustard in North America/Canada is not like Colmans in the U.K. As you stated its much milder. Pickles are in a vinegar/dill mix which gives them a distinctive taste. The steak you get with steak and eggs is usually a low quality steak. The "thing" here in Canada is Montreal smoked meat on a sandwich.

Great video as always Daz 👍👍👍👍

Enjoy mate, love your content.

Great review really enjoyed Thanks for all your hard work regards Greg

This isn't food culture, this is consumer culture.

I’m London born and bread,when we visited NYC in 2019 the only place to go for a pastrami or salt beef sandwich is Katz deli, I wouldn’t go anywhere else. If you want a smoked salmon bagel,Russ and daughters, both legendary eatery’s .

Not true at all, Katz's Deli is by far not the best around. But as far as food in New York goes, it's gone way downhill over the years, so many great places have disappeared!

Thanks Darren. Loving your New York vids. Can’t believe you’re managing to get a video out each day must be a lot of work editing

It is called marble rye.

Have a lovely trip.

That's a sandwich that looked delicious.

Darren John I was going to post a list of other delis where I know the pastrami to be good. At least you didn't go to Katz's. Nothing wrong with the food there, but it's soooo expensive and people queue on the sidewalk. This Brooklyn Deli - not in Brooklyn - must be new, or at least post-pandemic, since I don't know it... I do claim expertise. Other places in Manhattan with good pastrami (sadly, so many others have closed): Sarge's at 36th St & Third Ave. Second Ave Deli on 33rd St., West of Third Ave. (with another location on the Upper East Side.) Pastrami Queen on West 72nd St., also on the upper East Side. If you like I can also post a list of diners in the midtown area that are better than that Brooklyn diner you went to, and much less expensive.

Lol at your face with the pickle. You don't know what is good for you. Lol. That looked an amazing sarnie. Really enjoying the NY vlogs Mr. ❤

It’s real corned beef!!. And the pickle is a must Darren

Loved it! Yes it’s $20 but it’s classic New York food, so you’ve got to try when there. Interesting to know how it compares to salt beef which you can get in a great bagel for £5 in London.

Oooh that looked delicious- making me need to get to brick lane for a beigel - and that pickle - persevere and you’ll love them. Seemed pricey but I bet it filled you up and every mouthful a joy so worth it. Loving these NY videos - and your cap -was it custom made 👍

Love the New York vlogs makes me want to go back. I loved it there. Sandwich looked great loved the bread so attractive. 20 dollars is a lot but you have to immerse yourself into trying different things

Pastrami with Brie is awesome. 😋

Enjoyed this review

It looked lush

I envy you. Getting to enjoy a pastrami sandwich for the first time. The only thing better would be a pastrami Reuben -- pastrami, swiss cheese, sauerkraut and Russian dressing on grilled rye bread. Spectacular.

Must admit ,my mouth was watering watching you eat that ,very nice very full sandwich.I would of loved that but not the price . 🤩😜❤️🙏🏼

Looks great enjoy, I usually get the corned beef.just as good

Some sandwich, huge 😋

Good Morning DJ. I rather liked seeing your choice of Quisine my Friend. The Pastrami Door Step Sandwich with a large pickled Cucumber as a side. Presented very Well on the small silver platter, i really like American Mustard. The cured meat did look very Delicious and no doubt very filling for oneself. I really liked the booths that you could sit in and watch the people walk on by outside, whilst eating your Tasty Fare. Excellent DJ as always my Friend.

Thanks Darren another top video Shane in Sydney 🦘 🇦🇺

You must eat the pickle in the US. Pastrami sandwich absolutely delicious. We eat it regularly in cyprus on rye bread.

That was to spread your mustard on with the courgette, love these clips , english man in new York 👍👍

Good man Darren

Nice looking sandwich lots of Pastrami , You should try corned beef hash ( Corned beef fried up with diced potatoes and onions ) with poached eggs on top for breakfast it's so good ..cheers

You’re on holiday enjoy all of it mate

I love a good Pastrami on Rye. I know its been a long time since I've been to the States but the prices are a little shocking. The US used to be so cheap but now its at least double what you'd pay in Australia and things are expensive here. That being said that sandwich did look delish!! I too am not a fan of pickles and they put them on the side of everything. If I was trying to explain what pastrami is like I'd say its like a mix between beef and silverside. Very delicious though. That sandwich would have fed me for a couple of days 😂 can't wait to see what else you get up to over there. 🇺🇸🗽

Going to NY just to eat everything you can get in London? What about some interesting sights not just you eating!

we always look at your face to see if you like something, you dont give it away at first unless its really awful, hard to work this one out, but glad you liked it in the end!!

Loads of readymade sandwich places in uk etc have started selling these pastrami sandwiches over the past year or so. Pret do a very good one. All the others are lacking m&s waitrose et al. I'd say Pastrami is like a posh corned beef .

That sandwich looked good, I thought there could have been more Pastrami though. I had been to Carnegie Deli several times before they closed. Their Woody Allen sandwich was Pastrami & Corn Beef, it was about 4 inches deep. Keep the vlogs coming Darren

I love NYC - You never go hungry! I went to NY several years ago and the food prices have increased somewhat $20 for a sandwich?!

Cmon Darren you are a Londoner, you must have had salt beef…pastrami is a close relative to it. Go to Katz deli and try the famous one

The ‘Ploughman’s Lunch’ was totally invented during the mid-1960’s, by a marketing firm. It was felt that there were not sufficient English dishes available, that would appeal to tourists and World Cup football fans visiting ‘swinging’ London in 1966.
