I’m the exact opposite. But maybe it’s because I can always get a good Italian sub near me. I’d have to drive to DTLA (or at least somewhere) for a good pastrami.
So an incredible pastrami sandwich is special to me. I seek out Stage deli when I go to Vegas (it was in the Mirage last time I went).
It’s insanely good. Basically like a pastrami sandwich with smoked flavor.
I think I have to go with bagel though, because I had a good Montreal smoke meat place by me, and I still ate a lox bagel at 10-1 ratio. Although it’s gone now and I miss it.
This could have been brought to my attention before the nominations were set. Anyone bothered by Jewish deli pastrami and Montreal smoked meat each getting an entry has no one to blame but themselves.
