The Best Pastrami Sandwich In NYC | Best Of The Best | Food Insider - Jak na to + styl

Best Pizza 🍕 in NYC??
Best quesadillas please?
Best Donuts!
Lasagna or some type pasta
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.
They have about as much chemistry as baking soda and vinegar
Facts
Oil and water
Is it just me or are these two just really annoying and act really fake too
@@omarmunir5954 I also think they are annoying lol
Black pepper and salt?
Y’all need to find that vibe that the boys from Buzzfeed’s Worth It series have with each other tbh
Yeah the three boys, i miss them. They entertain me when i was depressed.
@@kucinghoren7864 Do they not do worth it anymore?
@@WizardsArt they still do it.
Difficult to emulate the Boys’ chemistry for these women I guess. The Worth it boys are amazing. They have set a benchmark which is insane.❤️
@@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.
Literally every singel place: "we are one os the only places that still makes it the old fationed way"
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.
Me too! Is a shame they closed in 2019 :(
When can we get 2 hosts that aren't so passive aggressive towards eachother
ikr
Ralph Valencia they don’t have to be guys just anyone who knows what the hell they’re taking about.
Took off the guy part, i meant 2 hosts that could just stand eachother
How
“You should swallow before you talk”
These two hosts HATE each other hahaha
All the pastrami sandwiches looks delicious!!!
It the great brand& fresh of pastrami 😊
8:46 : the comment section doesn’t think so.
Ikr .....THEY.....ARE....SUCH.....BAD.....FOOD...REVIEWERS 😒😒
Ik, they over complicate stuff and it sounds like the same damn thing
“I feel like the pastrami here has much more of a seasoning like.... taste”
Such a great reviewer!
"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.
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.
As a Finn, I liked the first one the most. That one looks like that has the most fresh flavors. Dill, cucumber, pastrami... Yuuuummmie
$17 & $22 usd sandwich off the hopp?! That's insane. Those sandwiches better rub your shoulders and feet too.
It's New York Prices for you my friend
When you taste Katz's pastrami you'll know it's worth it
you haven’t been to new york have you?
You possibly don't know how much it cost to make a brisket and overhead cost too?
I can get a way bigger and juicer torta in LA for 8$
6:50 "aS AlaNA stRugGLeS, I ShALL tEaCH yOu HOw iTS DonE"
They also made her head massive for a sec...
7:06 you can see she was struggling after that big ass bite 💀 looks like she's fighting to survive
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.
I used to live in a big city, the only thing I miss is finding restaurants with food like this
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
3:41 "You should swallow before you talk" - Has food in her mouth as she says this.
She always talks with food on her mouth
Example: 3:37
That girl is snotty and rude.
Haha exactly! And the other girl barely had food
in her mouth
When. Is. Silksong. Coming
So how’s hornet
Looked absolutely scrumptious and the 2 choices you both went with looked the most delicious to me. Yum.
I admire Herrine for the fact that she shoves as much food that can possibly fit into her face in a single bite. Always
Yes, but if you follow her to the bathroom afterwards, and listen through the door, you'll hear "beaoughhhh....beaoughhhh" 😂
@@genesankinlmaoooooo
Well, I find it quite disgusting, actually - she should wait to finish one bite before she takes another bite. She eats like a pig!
theyre either bestfriends that literally live at each others houses and hit one another or they hate each other
why does watching the hosts talk to eachother make me feel like im having a stroke?
Man lunch & dinner!Huge portions! If ever get to New York I want a pastrami sandwich.
5:01 That guy clearly loves his job! Bless him! 👍🏼😂
I don’t know why but Herrine always seems to be passive aggressive to every cohost that comes on these segments. It kinda ruins the video
Example?
Lol I agree
@@Domepeezy “you need to swallow before you talk” or “you can’t compare it to costco”
Literally everything she says. It’s her way or the highway
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.
That girls hereditary Asian humbleness has completely dissolved into Starbucks macchiatos
Lmfao!
Bruh chill hahahahahahahah
Lmaoooo
its true 😂😂
Damn bro that was harsh. But in future: humility not humbleness.
harry and ida is very different and modern and for taking a big risk in changing the game they deserve the number one spot
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
They literally have the worst chemistry ever lol it’s obvious how they’re annoyed with each other
so true!!! ...
The Asian one was so rude and obnoxious
Big C ditto. They have different opinions but that’s what I like about their videos.
@@KK-hy6zn Female Feminists don't have to like other women to be considered feminists. Feminism is all about equality of the sexes.
The part where they reveal there choices felt like they were about to start clawing at each other.
I can't smell any of the sandwiches but I can sure as hell smell the jealousy between these two
😂😂😂
😂👌
Do Americans only like over the top friendliness or something? I'm English and their way of talking is how we all talk, just constantly being mean.
@@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
@@jimmythechimp2 there's a difference.
Your channel is amazing. So good, as are the dishes you display, that sometimes it feels like torture ;) Torture of the licit kind!
I'm dreaming of eating this generous sandwich 😍
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.
your profile pic made me think i had a hair on my computer screen
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.
Jackson Walter As someone who has ate at all these places I feel you have added to the value of this food review. Thanks for the input brother.
David's is closed.
Except it's not Pastrami. It's pastrami-esque, made from a different cut of beef, a different way, with different spices.
you can tell that they don't wanna hangout with each other.
cool why? Rude.
Kelly Leung if you don’t know why, then you’re not a good reader of people or body language. To which, I feel bad for you.
Aidan Gallagher true or sarcasm because that type of action seems to fit her.
They have a professional relationship, for tv reasons must have diverse people
its clear that they dont.....no chemistry at alll
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.
Very Good Review....Thanks.
their content is good, the hosts are bad
Herrine ro is the worst.
@@claymurphy9213 and that nose job
Ahh man I thought it was just me. These 2 are sooo annoying they had the nerve to say they're good food critics!
@@RENZEENO damn
herrine ro I just can't stand her... 🤧🤧🤧🤧🤧
You can tell that they're annoyed AF with each other.
That Asian girl use to be a solo host. She must not like sharing the spotlight.
Herrine is Korean American lol
.....hey GC...first, ultimate respect to you...but, if you see annoyed,, Its you...I know. I Know stfu...but...every bdy got to try
The racist leftists & black supremacists now pitting Asians against other races. You communists see every twitch as a slight.
i thought i am the only one who noticed it. LOL
Looks awsome!!
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? 🤷🏻♂️
Lies again? FNB Money PS4 Face
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
I have so much nostalgia for this food, I love these places and these dishes so so much. Especially the SECOND AVENUE DELI. So many childhood memories :)
The best show for late night 😅
After all these decades since I lived in NYC, glad to see 2nd Ave Deli is still on point.
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.
While at the same time, she is also talking and chewing simultaneously 🤨🤨
@@joefretty3426 yeah maybe she was just kidding
Who knows idk, not really a big deal haha the comment section is having a hay day with it though 😂😂😂
Lies again? Bio Perene
SMH it’s a Chinese women tryna act white lmao
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..
Wow! Amazing sandwiches!
I love the raptor screams you can hear in the background during the intro 🤣
Why does everything have to be in NYC and LA?
Horror gamer 1
Im in LA and there is some damn good food around SoCal. Still wanna try some one the nyc food too.
You're not gonna find good food where white people live that's why
@Yeminn Htoon It's whoa, not wowww
David Maldonado racist. You made 2 acc to like your own comment
Mannequin X cuz they are the highest populated cities in the US
This video should be called "Herrine being obnoxious to Alana for 14 minutes straight"
Who's who
It’s part of the act...bitter lovers
@@heinrichcook4686 Herrine is the Asian woman. Alana is the Black woman.
So this is what "frenemies" looks like
alanah wanna hig her
Good review. If I ever visit New York City, I'll be sure to try the Pastrami at all four locations.
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 🥂
Herrine: I don’t think I’ve ever been this happy in a very long time. Boyfriend at home: 😐
Poor whoevers dating that woman
😆😂🤣
🤣 🤣 🤣!!!!
Joe Fretty - Writes a CZcams comment
The formatting of his comment - 💀
She seems a fan of a A LOT of "meat" on her sandwich.
I have never seen a more hostile comment section on one of these😂
Aye every last one of those pastrimi sandwiches looked 🔥🔥🤤🤤
Obsesssseddd with Thissss
3:09 “I don’t think I’ve ever been this happy in a very long time.” 😂 Girl, I felt that! I feel it every time I eat anything amazing 🤤
Alana is like "Change is GOOD!", I totally agree!
Great video🍖😋😄👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
7:00 😂😂😂
I love Herrine's mustard nail polish😊
I am so glad 2nd Ave Deli finally made it into a video! It is my favorite deli in NYC!
My god how many Katz deli videos does CZcams really need
❤ 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 have never had a pastrami before but I love watching u guy's vdos
7:00 😂😂😂 I looked away for a min and looked back and saw that
3:41 “This is cucumbe ... “yOU ShOuLD SaLlOw bEfOre YoU TalK!”
I’m pretty sure the Asian woman actually had food in her mouth and the other woman did not lol wtf
Waaaaa!! I'm so hungry now!!! That pastrami at 2nd ave Deli is the king!!
Lol that snake's mouth comment got me laaaaaughing she nailed it.
Oh, my God, my mouth is watering.
Every restaurant on video: “we have the best pastrami in the world”
I agree with Herrine 2nd Ave Deli rocks! Katz's Deli is overrated and too touristy, the other two are just mmh.
Austin has better brisket. 6 hour lines
Katz’s is amazing, hater
0reastreast um wtf this ain’t pornhub comment section buddy.
@@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.
0reastreast Thanks, I never thought of small mouth. I always stared at full sensual mouthy lips.
Both of them are top choices!!!!!!!
I’m hungry and watching this! Tortured 😖 myself again!
Couldnt watch this, Asian girl just made me so pissed with these cringy commentaries :(
Fugly
I haven't been this happy since forever 🙄
Agreed
LOVE THE PICKLES 😍😍
Looks delicious.
This beef pastrami sandwich looks so delicious 😍
$17.50 for a sandwich that’s why it’s hard to get someone to try it
With the size of bread and amount of meat you could easily make this two separate meals. In that sense you might find it worthwhile.
about par for NYC
@@MajorGeneralVeers no you need a full sandwich it’s kinda light
ny city is an expensive city.
Hands down, the stars of this video were the sandwiches. Nothing in this video compares. Like omg.
I need to go eat at these 4 places before I die....bucket list...
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.
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.
Hahahahaha
When Herrine Ro finishes her sandwich on camera, then you know it's good 😂
6:19 mood lmaoo
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.
Katz is crap
You wouldn't like NYC if you're that soft. It's just how we are but they are very nice at Katz's just follow the rules and you'll be fine
@@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.😊
@@wascar66 Or NY should be softer and be more lenient about a paper ticket loss at a sandwich place..
It looks so rude. Paying $22 for a sandwich & getting yelled at potentially? No ma'am.
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.
Anchovy mustard :O Fot to have a try!
I've not had a pastrami sandwich since I lived at home. I remember it to be peppery. Delicious!
I live in San Francisco; Ive😢 never been to NYC but my mom and sister have. Katz and (the Stage) were favorites.
must be a NY thing cause I dont see them being harsh or anything at all friendly banter sure.
Yes same. I’m not seeing what everyone else is seeing???
They all looked good to me 🤤
Talking about the sandwiches right
I wish I had y’all’s job. It’s the best!
Good job ladies!
Cant believe the pastrami at Arby’s didnt make the cut !!!
😂😂😂😂😂
Katz mas homemade pastrami, designer pastrami cost more money
Arby's is trash lol
@@BlackGirlLovesAnime6 you get what you pay ,designer pastrami cost more money
@@lloydkline6946 worth it
My choice is Harry and Ida's, because I'm not paying $22 for a god damn sandwitch.
Well, a streak meal cost similar, plus it home made, it not repackaged pastrami
17.50 for a sandwich isn't any better.
@@Redvines69 i used to work in a Delhi, pastrimi past right out of the cooker before water cooling stuff, , fresh pastrami however it the same basic meat, and bread, plus pay for legendary building, great staff etc etc
Never been, but definitely going to try. Seems more "mom & pop;" rather than the stupid Big Black Buffoon security at Katz's. Always wanted to try Katz's, as I used to work nearby, But that was a Turn OFF.
I'm not a fan of this kind of bread. I think I'd pick 2nd Ave Deli.
O M G !! Amazing!! Delicious!
You food insider bring this back ,food wars cool and all but you still need this along side it
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.
Katz’s only claim to fame is their history
Uh yeah that's usually how locations develop fame...
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 like Katz the best.
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
You have to do something great to make, creat and sustain "history"!
Literally every pastrami place, “we’re unique, we hand smoke and cut thin”… 🤣
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?
