Hey FOOD INSIDER....love your videos and the ladies are good hosts. Just an idea from a fan that I think would put your "best of the best" videos over the top. This would have been perfect for this particular show too! For instance...pastrami is obviously a very lauded, celebrated deli meat which has old school Jewish origins. The first thought I had before watching this video was I wonder how a 70-80 year old, brutally honest, really funny jewish man obsessed with pastrami would rate theses places...and I started laughing. Pick an older native expert to join you in each episode. This could be done with any food in any city. Just a thought.
Strictly speaking, that's not an insignificant amount of chemistry. Combining an acid and an alkali is pretty much a staple of chemistry instruction to beginner students. Okay, it's not the infinitely vast ocean that organic chemistry is, but it's not trivial, either.
It’s not like they want to waste it. To review the food next, their palates have to be empty, or else they’ll feel so full the next sandwiches won’t taste so good even if they really are.
@@jimmythechimp2 there’s a difference between two mates bantering between each other telling each to stfu and open hostility and passive aggression lmfao and I’m saying that as an English guy aswell
Great review as always! Very professional video. I have never been to any of these places but the first I would try is 2nd avenue deli. Juicy, thin sliced, on-point every time .. sounds delish.
Agree on the consistency of 2nd Ave Deli. I'm a traditionalist, but would love to try that Harry and Ida's take! Which begs me to ask, why does one have to concede? 🤷🏻♂️
My partner and I are partial to a pastrami sandwich but living in a rural part of the UK we only get to enjoy this if we go to London on a trip or make it ourselves which we have done. Some have commented that those sandwiches are dear but we would have to share one between us, we wouldn't want to eat such a large sandwich. Taking size and price into account I'd say it's on a par with London prices.
As someone who has ate at all of these places, I feel like Harry & Ida's is my favorite pastrami sandwich. The flavors are phenomenal. However, 2nd Ave Deli has the best pastrami I've ever had. 2nd Ave Deli pastrami with Harry & Ida's setup would be my ideal pastrami sandwich. Katz's is still a solid choice in my opinion, but you can't beat David's Brisket House's prices. I live in Brooklyn and David's is the best pastrami sandwich you can get at it's price point.
Yeah that 2nd ave meat looked on another level. I could be wrong, but it also looks like 2nd ave and Katz's use a lot more meat. So while they are expensive, it doesn't seem like a terrible value.
Ever hear the word banter. Ever been to NYC. Banter is the NYC way of communicating. These girls get along just fine. You all are just looking for something negative to say instead of sticking to the subject. Pastrami sandwiches.
I was gonna say that first sandwich looked amazing then that lady was like, “You should swallow before you talk” Killed the vibe kinda. It’s a food show. You kinda have to talk with your mouth full otherwise it’s quite and awkward. Only reportoftheweek can do that successfully.
❤ katz deli it cheaper than visiting ny city & katz deli ;; great brand of pastrami / freshness ; i used to work i. A deli; pastrami out the cooker without water down cooling ; best pastrami
I guess what makes a huge city like NYC so cool is that you can pick the most super specific food item and there will probably be 5-8 quality food joints for you to choose from.
So true I get that same sentiment from people who come from other parts off the country or even the world and say it amazes them that they leave their apartment and can pass 5 bars two deli’s and a pizza shop on one block..
Well, I know what I am having for lunch tomorrow. Thanks ladies for the tour and the reviews. Seeing you two young ladies consume those sandwiches was nothing short of delicious. Cheers 🥂
The last time I went to Katz's I ordered a Pastrami sandwich from the waiter. He turned towards the counter and yelled out, " Vun Pastrami, Vun". Then he ran behind the counter and made it. Of course I had a Celray Soda.
I've been to Katz. Absolutely amazing. Not sure if they are still open. I also ordered over the phone when I lived in NC. They sent it and I steamed it. 👌. There's also the Pastrami King out east.
@@gsaustin74 but this is Pastrami even though its made from brisket its not the same, it has very specific spices. Franklin's BBQ and Terry Black's doesnt even have pastrami just brisket. Its like comparing ham and plain cooked pork, ham is processed in a very specific way and tastes completely different.
The 2nd restaurant is definitely the one that I would not go to, I don't care if the sandwiches are good, but the customer service... And it is overpriced.
@@wascar66 yay... but they don't necessarily need to be hella rude for a piece of paper and yell at my face just bc I didn't pick my fricking sandwich fast enough ! See ? This is why I'll never go to NY. Everything is rushed and I don't like this kind of vibe. I prefer my little city in the south of France.😊
David's Brisket House is a diamond in the rough. A nice sandwich without having to be told if you lose your ticket, your gonna pay. Also, finding parking around there is way better than those other spots in Manhattan. I don't even cross the bridge anymore if I want pastrami.
the reason for the ticket is you dont pay at the counter like all other place's. the cost is written on the ticket and you pay on the way out. therefore if you lose your ticket (on purpose or not) trying to get out of paying. they have no way of knowing what you ordered. and only then you are charged $50 which is 2 sandwiches and a drink.
Sabian Vorachev it’s garbage food. Their attitude sucks, you can’t get a seat, they treat you like shit so for real don’t go there. You’re going to get robbed to be shouted at and get a disgusting sandwich. So many better places.
I’m from Indiana and just came to NYC, went to Katz and they are everything!!! That sandwich was so good and tender and moist and juicy OMG!! I need another one. You trippin
Visited New York in May from the U.K. and one place I had to visit was Katz’s Deli. Wasn’t disappointed,had pastrami on rye with pickles . Have to admit, it was worth the journey across the pond. Also visited Russ and daughters for Salmon and cream cheese bagel,also delicious. Looking forward to coming back in 2020 #lovingnewyork🇺🇸🇬🇧
I always thought Katz and 2nd Ave made a bookend couple, with Katz's being smokier and 2nd Ave being juicier, kind of summing up the two major approaches to pastrami. Having said that, the best pastrami sandwich is in Los Angeles, at Langer's. I make my own pastrami from beef short ribs, and its pretty killer too.
That's awesome. I'm in France now and they don't have brisket as a cut here at all so your short ribs approach sounds amazing. Got a good brine / spice mix you can share?
I remember how excited my buddy was to take me to Katz's. I've gone a few times now and it's okay which isnt great for the price. Have to try the others.
I'm gonna be steaming a Boars Head top round pastrami sandwich tomorrow night! With spicy mustard and pepper jack cheese. You can steam it in a vegetable steamer but just so it for a couple minutes on each side
In its heyday, NYC had dozens of excellent delis. You didn't have to leave your neighborhood to find a great pastrami or corned beef sandwich, Those days are gone, and Katz's wins by default. But back then, NYC deli aficionados considered Katz's a tourist trap.
I just stumbled across this video and by the 2:50 mark I was so excited to make it my mission to go enjoy Harry & Ida's sandwich strictly to try pastrami on something different from rye bread (which I'm not a big fan of). I opened another tab to check their hours of operation and instantly saw that they permanently closed the weekend before Thanksgiving... What a cruel, cold world we live in ='(
Go to a good local deli :: secret is great pastrami brands& freshness ; i used work in a deli ; pastrami best out of cooker : no water down cooling ;; take out the taste water ::not traveling to ny city
I'm admittedly a Katz "fan" … And I've yet to try Harry & Ida's. Which If you analyze it carefully; seems to be the Vietnamese "Banh Mi" variant (the Fish Sauce & Sliced Fresh Cucumbers etc., on the French Bread). Regardless, I'm "open" to believe, It's an interesting & tasty alternative to the Traditional.
I want them all. I’m right outside philly, and while we have plenty of amazing food, every time I get a pastrami after watching these, I’m left wanting NYC deli pastrami. And as a philly boy I don’t pay nyc compliments often, but I have to tip my hat
I mean, when somebody wants a TRULY great cheeesesteak they think Philly when they want the best hot dog in the world they think Chicago. So hey, New York has the best pastrami sandwich....everybody has something they do REALLY well!
Ive had Katz many times and it tastes great , a lil pricey . Ive also had davids brisket , my childhoods friends dad owns the joint had it many times , its probably the most affordable option . I have to try out 2nd ave deli and harry & Ida's next time im in the city
Ahhhh!! That baking soda vinegar comment was spot on! How do u get on this show? Show up at the office and say ‘hey I’m female and quirky, am i hired?’…it’s just awkward and not funny, and takes my mind off the food, I’d be happier if a sock puppet was hosting
Love pastrami and eaten many great sandwiches in NYC over the years. My issue is who wants 3 pounds of meat? Maybe I am the odd one. A half pound would do these great sandwiches justice alone.
Same girl it makes them boring and look stupid. "It melts in ur mouth,flavorful and etc. "those r the words they always used every food. Do they have common words and natural to say another?
I enjoy pastrami a lot but like Alana I am not a big fan of Rye bread, so I get where they are both coming from. BTW these ladies have like the best job in the world I think.

They have about as much chemistry as baking soda and vinegar

@@omarmunir5954 I also think they are annoying lol

"You should swallow before you talk," she said, while having food in her OWN mouth.
Herrine is so irritating.
Camille Douglas thought it was just me.
Camille Douglas yes I got that too with her small mouth you not her mother
She is VERY annoying
She was basically done chewing & was told by someone with a half full mouth to finish chewing before talking, how ironic & annoying.
ikr, and then in spicy challenges, before trying the food she brags about being able to handle spice but when she tries it she can’t finish it.
These two hosts HATE each other hahaha
When can we get 2 hosts that aren't so passive aggressive towards eachother

@@ObitoUchiha10089 maybe. But some friendliness/friendship-y vibes would be nice. But maybe that's due to the editing as well.
I appreciate that they actually ate the sandwiches and didn't just take 2 bites. I always hate seeing food reviewers waste food.
They dont waste it; their crew eat the left-overs.
It’s not like they want to waste it. To review the food next, their palates have to be empty, or else they’ll feel so full the next sandwiches won’t taste so good even if they really are.
They proabably did this across several days so they can have the stomach 😀
@billygowhoop no one does that bruh
Their change of clothing each time tells me they they didn’t eat all of those Sammy’s on the same day.
The first guy was so sweet and seems so humble. I just want to give him my money already
I agree
Yes. He did. He didn't seem money grubbing. Just very personable. And very eclectic and innovative, while still maintaining tradition.
Give me some money😆
Gosh right? Such a sweetheart his food looks incredible.

Haha exactly! And the other girl barely had food
in her mouth
When. Is. Silksong. Coming
So how’s hornet
The Katz’s, they are charging you for eating in NYC & not so much for pastrami 😂
Sumi S since they don't charge you for the pastrami that must mean it's cheaper.. Sweeeeet
Do they give you a doggie bag??
Either their rent is high or employees make alot of money, I know it homemade pastrami
Pastrami is best out of the cooker& kind of brand of pastrami & freshness
harry and ida is very different and modern and for taking a big risk in changing the game they deserve the number one spot
$17 & $22 usd sandwich off the hopp?! That's insane. Those sandwiches better rub your shoulders and feet too.
It's New York Prices for you my friend
When you taste Katz's pastrami you'll know it's worth it
you haven’t been to new york have you?
You possibly don't know how much it cost to make a brisket and overhead cost too?
I can get a way bigger and juicer torta in LA for 8$
I came to the comments to see if I was the only one who thought the on-camera chemistry between the hosts was off
It was a little more than off i think
super off!!
This is why they are not allowed to go in the kitchen, too many knives in it ^^
I felt like the asian woman was rude to the other one
yeah.. i just commented before reading below.. and i just realized most comments are related

She is entitled of her biased and she was so open minded, especially when she already made up her mind for the best pastrami sandwich.
You food insider bring this back ,food wars cool and all but you still need this along side it
Christ, $22 sandwich better add years to my life
I remember how excited my buddy was to take me to Katz's. I've gone a few times now and it's okay which isnt great for the price. Have to try the others.
That Harry & Idas looks very interesting, but I was shocked by the amount of fresh dill. How do you not talk about the pickles?!
I'm gonna be steaming a Boars Head top round pastrami sandwich tomorrow night! With spicy mustard and pepper jack cheese. You can steam it in a vegetable steamer but just so it for a couple minutes on each side
In its heyday, NYC had dozens of excellent delis. You didn't have to leave your neighborhood to find a great pastrami or corned beef sandwich, Those days are gone, and Katz's wins by default. But back then, NYC deli aficionados considered Katz's a tourist trap.
Lol that snake's mouth comment got me laaaaaughing she nailed it.
The first episode I watch with Halal option. Thank you 🙏
I just stumbled across this video and by the 2:50 mark I was so excited to make it my mission to go enjoy Harry & Ida's sandwich strictly to try pastrami on something different from rye bread (which I'm not a big fan of). I opened another tab to check their hours of operation and instantly saw that they permanently closed the weekend before Thanksgiving... What a cruel, cold world we live in ='(
Ah shi
Harry & Ida is the evolution and future of Pastrami Sandwich
I've never had a pastrami sandwich before. This makes me motivated to plan a trip to New York to get one. So excited!
Go to a good local deli :: secret is great pastrami brands& freshness ; i used work in a deli ; pastrami best out of cooker : no water down cooling ;; take out the taste water ::not traveling to ny city
So worth it
I'm admittedly a Katz "fan" … And I've yet to try Harry & Ida's. Which If you analyze it carefully; seems to be the Vietnamese "Banh Mi" variant (the Fish Sauce & Sliced Fresh Cucumbers etc., on the French Bread). Regardless, I'm "open" to believe, It's an interesting & tasty alternative to the Traditional.
Watching this muted makes it even better.
Just chilling here watching this while eating a sandwich from my refrigerator !!
I want them all. I’m right outside philly, and while we have plenty of amazing food, every time I get a pastrami after watching these, I’m left wanting NYC deli pastrami. And as a philly boy I don’t pay nyc compliments often, but I have to tip my hat
I mean, when somebody wants a TRULY great cheeesesteak they think Philly when they want the best hot dog in the world they think Chicago. So hey, New York has the best pastrami sandwich....everybody has something they do REALLY well!
They should have gone to Stage Deli too. Would have loved to see that in the comparison too.
Ive had Katz many times and it tastes great , a lil pricey . Ive also had davids brisket , my childhoods friends dad owns the joint had it many times , its probably the most affordable option . I have to try out 2nd ave deli and harry & Ida's next time im in the city
Ben's Deli in NYC and in Woodbury and Carle Place Long Island makes a great pastrami.
Ahhhh!! That baking soda vinegar comment was spot on! How do u get on this show? Show up at the office and say ‘hey I’m female and quirky, am i hired?’…it’s just awkward and not funny, and takes my mind off the food, I’d be happier if a sock puppet was hosting
Katz was amazing when I went. 10 out of 10. I thought I didn't like Pastrami, until I tried that place.
Please do an episode of “Best Of The Best” with the best BBQ in Kansas City.
I love the raptor screams you can hear in the background during the intro 🤣
when?
Love pastrami and eaten many great sandwiches in NYC over the years. My issue is who wants 3 pounds of meat? Maybe I am the odd one. A half pound would do these great sandwiches justice alone.
They want to eliminate the human race. Globalist agenda at play here
Me. I need.
Katz isn't filling a normal sandwich like that bro.
I tried so hard to enjoy this review but it keeps getting cringey with the references & vocabulary the hosts use to describe the food 🤮
Same girl it makes them boring and look stupid. "It melts in ur mouth,flavorful and etc. "those r the words they always used every food. Do they have common words and natural to say another?
I enjoy pastrami a lot but like Alana I am not a big fan of Rye bread, so I get where they are both coming from. BTW these ladies have like the best job in the world I think.
