Surely there are debates on best pastrami in NY, but this is the one I tried when I visited. Mouth watering goodness!

    can’t be the only one who thinks this is visually disgusting right

    it looks visually delicious. pastrami is cured, not cooked. like other cured meats, it doesn’t turn brown in the process

      pastrami is cured and cooked for hours and hours to tenderize. the curing process turns the meat bright red even after it cooks.
