Their machine cut Pastrami is really too thin to enjoy

Is this why people keep mentioning hand cut pastrami?

I asked the counter guy at Sarges to hand slice the pastrami just the right way

Is hand cut thicker therefore more flavorful?

 

[oldfool]

Not to me.
Just pile that shit on and let my arteries sort it out.

A hand cutter can cut you a lean, fatty, dry out or moist slice, and that's the whole point of hand cut meat and why it's done at a cafeteria like setting at Katz's where tipping the meat cutters can make the difference between a great sandwich and a shitty one.

People always look at me funny when I tell them to go ahead of me in line (because I'm waiting for Benny).

 

[justlooking]

Doesn't each cutter at Katz's have his own separate line?

I had no real understanding of your true power and status, but to have your own meat cutter at Katz's

I'm not worthy!
I'm not worthy!
I'm not worthy!
I'm not worthy!
I'm not worthy!

I don't want to take anything away from SB, but anybody who knows anything about food in New York has a favorite meat cutter at Katz's.

Really, who is yours?

And I would like to know the names of everyone else's favorite Katz's meat cutter, chop-chop! (pun intended).

 

[elmo16]

Just wondering, do Mohels count?

(sure! one, two, three, four, and so on.) - rim shot.

Really, who is yours?

The old Latino guy who says "juicy like Lucy."

(We're not on a first-name basis.)

 

[elmo16]

Mine is number 8 - "$50, Me luv you long time"

(we're on a first name basis.)

 

[justlooking]

God, I've NEVER tipped the counterman $50.

 

[Slinky Bender]

The old Latino guy

Sounds like Benny to me.

 

[justlooking]

I had a feeling my guy was going to turn out to be Benny.

(If Slinky and I choose the same guy, he's GOT to be the best.)

 

[justlooking]

Maybe we can get a board consensus here.

 

[elmo16]

God, I've NEVER tipped the counterman $50.

Counterman? Did your counterman every PLAY with your meat?

 

[justlooking]

He attends to my meat with great skill, accuracy, and devotion.

Well, number 8 attends to my meat with TLC, GFE and PSE.

The pastrami in NY is terrible. These huckster rat-food mongers should be put in a time machine and sent to the gas chambers. NY pastrami is made for niggers and suburban kikes.

The only authentic pastrami is made in Montreal. Go to Schwartz's deli. Then you will know pastrami.
