"There may be no sandwich more iconically American than the classic hot pastrami. A pastrami sandwich boasts a rich, meaty flavor that is sure to please any sandwich lover. The tender pastrami on sliced bread, traditionally simply topped, is a comfort food that has become synonymous with America's deli culture. A product of Eastern European Jewish immigration to the United States, the pastrami sandwich (which comes from a Turkish word for preserving meat) originated in New York City in the late 19th century."
"Katz's is so popular that in a given week, it goes through around 15,000 pounds of pastrami. The pastrami is generously layered, the bread is fresh, and mustard is the perfect complement. Get it juicy and thick (which is the standard), lean, or dry. Choose deli rye or club bread. Pick your dressing: mustard, reuben, or mayo. And pick your toppings: Swiss or American cheese, tomato, lettuce, onion, coleslaw, and sauerkraut."
The pastrami sandwich is an iconic American deli staple with rich, meaty flavor and traditionally simple toppings. The sandwich emerged from Eastern European Jewish immigration and a Turkish term for preserving meat, taking shape in New York City in the late 19th century. Lithuanian immigrant and kosher butcher Sussman Volk is credited with introducing the sandwich. By the early 20th century hot pastrami became a popular fixture in New York Jewish delis. Longstanding delis such as Katz's serve generously layered, juicy pastrami with choices of bread, dressings, and toppings, and some delis process thousands of pounds weekly.
