Katz's Deli in NYC is one of the most famous restaurants in NYC, maybe one of the most famous restaurants in the world! It's beloved by tourists and locals alike, with many famous people having eaten there. The Katz's Deli Anthony Bourdain clip, the Katz's Deli Man Vs Food clip, Katz's Deli Mark Wiens clip, Katz's Deli Guy Fieri clip, are all very well known. The restaurant became famous due to the Katz Deli When Harry Met Sally scene, but even then Katz's Deli was the oldest deli in NYC and the oldest Jewish deli in New York City and it had beloved patrons dating back to 1888. Katz's Deli's pastrami on rye is one of the best pastrami on rye sandwiches in NYC. They have the best pastrami in New York City, and they also make some of the best corned beef in NYC. I would even go so far as to say Katz's Deli makes the best pastrami in the USA and the best pastrami in the world. However, due to their amazing reputation, they charge a whopping $26 per sandwich now. Some people decry that Katz's Deli is overrated and Katz's Deli is overpriced.
Is Katz's Deli overrated? That is our mission in today's episode, to find out if the famous Katz Deli pastrami sandwich is worth the price tag or not. We also try the famous NYC egg cream and talk a bit about the origin of the egg cream drink.
In either case, I hope you enjoy this video! It was fun to film a Katz's Deli mukbang video and to eat at a famous NYC Jewish restaurant. Even if it's not worth $26 I would suggest trying the oldest deli in NYC at least once in your life!

I really like how you incorporate the price of food items in your reviews, not just the taste, preparation, and presentation of the food. Most everyday people have to consider price as a significant factor when dinning out....

@aaronblashyrkh7655 Год назад

For me it's the first factor.

@YTnMe 9 месяцев назад

I agree. being born and raised in ny i regret not going when it was cheaper. But to go for a single sandwich at that price i rather eat somewhere else. Maybe its a one and done. But honestly NYC itself is becoming a one and done tourist trap.

@SamBrickell 8 месяцев назад

Why is that? I've been told by the media that the Economy is stronger than ever and inflation is quite low. Are you saying that the media is lying? That would make you a conspiracy theorist.

@doc-vg9lq 26 дней назад

yeah it really annoys me when YT'ers dont give prices of things when it's a very important factor

@doc-vg9lq 26 дней назад

@@SamBrickell nobody is saying inflation is low so you're exaggerating. and u obviously have an agenda with the picture you're trying to paint which is typical of the 'conspiracy theorist' doom and gloom. truth is the stock market has continually risen for the most part which is a positive. employment rate has been at an all time high. inflation is sky high which is a negative. Tensions around the world and domestically are extremely high. It always makes me laugh though how many of you tout alternative media over mainstream, which has its issues, but alt media is far more untrustworthy which is why you're promised all of these smoking guns constantly by alt right media but can never win in court with any of the vast conspiracies you people believe in. It's also why your media outlets have been sued and had to settle out of court on multiples of occasions so far. It's just funny with some of the stuff a lot of you believe.

@robbylawlor4259 Год назад

If you're visiting NYC, then sure Katz is the move. But at the end of the day a 26$ sandwich is just not sustainable long term, if you're just hungry on any given day, a cheaper sandwich will do the trick. And if you're dining out with friends, $26 can get you a lot more than just a sandwich meal.

For me the Katz hack is getting the $40.00 meat plate - you get a super generous selection of pastrami, brisket and corned beef, a stack of rye bread and two kinds of pickles. I usually get it to go since I live close but it's easily two meals for three of us and there is always a bit left over. If you do the math it's quite a deal!

The bright green pickels are called half sours. They are a very different type pickel they are not fermented, the are not preserved with Vinager. Just salt water and a day or two on the fridge. So if your expecting a dill pickel yes they will taste like a cucumber. Now that you know what it is taste it again. You will find a very flavorful pickel that is super crunchy and refreshing and tasty. In fact they may become one of your favorite pickels. Taste them with different expectations. Lucky dog. If you still don't like them I will take yours....thank you!

@eeldude Год назад

To me it is worth it as a once in a while treat. I go whenever I visit NYC, but if I lived in the neighborhood, it would not be my regular “go to” spot. I would take out of town visitors or go for a special occasion. BTW, the pickles are not hit or miss, they are actually two different types. Regular and half sour. The half sour is for those who like a fresher tasting pickle without the heavy brine. Also, if you prefer more fat, you can ask the cutter for a fatty cut. I do that and it is SO tender, juicy and delicious!

@uaeats Год назад

Thanks for the clarification on the half sour pickles. I didn't know that. Perhaps I need to try a fatty cut next time I go there!

@aperson2943 Год назад

I was just about to say that about the pickles. Personally, being a pickle fan, these are among the best I have had. Top tier. Both half sour and regular. Also, I'm a frequent visitor not a resident. Of course there are cheaper options, but when you take into account the history, and the taste... $26 is worth it. Find a way to fit it into your budget while on a trip. Most people will never make it to NYC in their lifetime. For me it's an easy trip I make often. If you get the opportunity to visit here at least once. I think trying the pastrami on rye with the pickles is a must.

@marioncapriotti1514 Год назад

Great video, you are absolutely right about Katz's pastrami. I love seeing and hearing how much you appreciate good food. Just two things -- first, the brighter-green pickles are called "half-sours" because they aren't completely pickled, and I agree with you, to me they are a pale imitation of the yellower-green real thing, but some people prefer them, and they are made that way on purpose. The other thing is, $26 doesn't seem quite so expensive when you figure in A) you are almost certainly going to take half of that monster-huge sandwich home for a whole 'nother meal, and B) you won't be hungry again for two days, so think of the money you're saving on food for tomorrow and the next day. . . Cheers from New York City!

@jeremyepstein7977 Год назад

Despite it being a tourist spot Katz is amazing. Like you said, it's a tourist spot now for a reason. Katz is worth it at 26 bucks. The pastrami sandwiches are also big. I actually think there is too much pastrami on the sandwich for one meal so what I do is take out half of it, get some rye bread and make a sandwich the next day. Worth it. With the brighter green pickles, those are supposed to taste like that! They are a style of pickle called half-sours.They aren't as pickled as regular pickles. I actually prefer them because I like the fresh feeling vs. the sourness of a dill pickle, but I know a lot of people don't.

@@tloco1529 yes I had it flipped! But when I would go to Katz's when I lived in NY it was still sliced fairly thin. The optimal way to eat Katz it is to take off half the meat and bring it home, get some rye bread and you have another sandwich and you can use some for pastrami and eggs. I can easily get 2 portions out of a Katz sandwich and it's a better proportioned bite with half the meat. The bread at Langer's is absolutely better but I still think the pastrami itself is better at Katz. Both are wonderful though. Note that I'm comparing two of the same classic pastrami sandwiches. Many people comparing Langer's talk about sandwich #19 which is excellent but it's not an apples to apples comparison.

I'm Canadian, have you tried Swartz in Montreal? That's the Canadian Katz. But it's our alternative to pastrami which is called "Montreal Smoked Meat" and us Canucks grow up with it. Less sugar, more spices.

@mattblom3990 Год назад

@Tim H Less expensive our Montreal meat is, with a similar vibe and serving size.

Smoked brisket in Texas in going for $30 a pound. Everything is expensive and Katz is just terrific.

Absolutely nothing has changed about Katz's deli. It looks the same as it always has! And it sounds like it's as delicious as it always has been too!

@dustyflair Год назад

why would it change?

@uaeats Год назад

It was extremely delicious! How long have you been going there?

@@uaeats I started going to Katz's about 30 years ago. Lucky for me the lines weren't out of the door and down the block! Very historical place.

@jtam70 Год назад

Last time I visited NYC, we went to Katz. I've always heard of the place and wanted to see if it's the real deal. Was it expensive? Sure, but we were visiting and it was an experience. To this day, when people talk about pastrami sandwiches, I always talk about Katz in NYC. If I live in NYC, I would probably go when visitors come to town. As you said, it's a sandwich. A really good sandwich, but a sandwich.

@marcushatch5863 Год назад

No, they are not over rated - cost is indicative of demand. The meat ai t cheap and every video like this drives it up. And it is good, real good, real deal and large sandwich 😂

@a9828 Год назад

tried this last week. 26 for the whole sandwich with pickles is relatively ok. i'm asian and considering the size, you can probably have it for two meals (since already cut in half) which makes the price more acceptable. it's a very good product, to begin with.

Love your videos! Honest reviews of the food, restaurant, service, what do expect, etc. Just watched your new review of Sarge’s. Sorry the waitress was so rude! Hope she was nicer by the end of your meal! (Did you tip her?) BTW, I hope you didn’t accidentally eat the fly crawling around on the pastrami!!

A $26 sandwich in New York is common. It's like what you pay $13 for anywhere else. It's a good deal.

Katz was good and reasonably priced until it became a tourist trap .

Sarge's Deli on 3rd Avenue. Not nearly as rammed with tourists.

@davidthaler7018 Год назад

Never cared for their egg creams (and I’m from Brooklyn)-the syrup:seltzer ratio is off, making them too sweet. They slice the pickles now? That’s criminal. BTW, pickles are “sour” or “half-sour.” Wet cucumbers indeed! Second Av Deli is just as good and is a kosher restaurant with hot selections in addition to sandwiches.

@annek1226 Год назад

Can you make Pastrami at home? Sure you can! Will it taste as good or better than Katz? Definitely not! If you are there visiting, you need to try it at least once! It is worth every Penny! You are not only paying for the experience, you are also paying for the work that went into making it! It is not easy, it’s a process!

@ericfoster3636 Год назад

I make my own pastrami and rye bread. I'll skip the standing in line experience. I promise it's better! LOL

@uaeats Год назад

I definitely agree that most people will be hard-pressed to replicate the amazing flavor and texture of Katz's Deli. I also agree that it's worth $26 to eat it once. However I would not eat it regularly at that price despite how good it is

@mynameiskillua 8 месяцев назад

I'm going to NYC this weekend. I'm choosing to go to either Katz's, 2nd Ave, Sarges or Barney Greengrass. Thoughts? Each Pastrami sandwich seems to be around 20-26 bucks. I don't have a lot of time there, and don't feel like waiting in line for an hour for a sandwich, haha. Good video.

@damianit Год назад

Without watching the video: no, it's not worth it at all... I already tried it out. Completely overrated. Basically a scam.

@tinland771 Год назад

When you complain about the price of a sandwich that you call “ one of your top 10 sandwiches”, I have to question your ability to distinguish value. Money does not enter into the equation when you speak about top quality items with no equal. It’s best that you take your money sensitive palate elsewhere. How about Papaya King? Not too far from Katz’s and you can get a hot dog for a buck. I will take my Rolex (another bad value, right?) and go to Katz’s tonight. Cheap.

I went to Katz and that had to be the worst Pastrami sandwich I've had... it taste like freaking Cornbread not Pastrami I was so up set..I said something to one of the servers but he didn't give a crap.. that sandwich isn't worth $26 let alone $16.. I'll definitely try another place never Katz's..now that's my take on quality of sandwich not price ..

@paulrichardson5309 Год назад

Noah I agree that sandwich wasn't worth $26 ..I had a Pastrami sandwich there and hated it.. it taste to much like Cornbeef.(they obviously don't know how to prepare a good quality Pastrami)... I'll never refer or go there again...

My wife and I recently took a trip back home to the city and had to stop here. We split the pastrami and photos to salad with a square knish and vanilla egg cream. Came out to about $50 for both of us. I think I would pay $26 for the sandwich for myself with an egg cream.

The full sour pickle tastes so different from what your used to because they are fermented for six to eight weeks. Commercial pickled are soaked in vinegar to try to recreate that in one day. The full sour in a deli is what a pickle tasted like 125 years ago

We went to Katz when we went over to NYC from Belfast. We got lucky as there was 2 people in line and the sandwich was amazing. We got the cornbeef and the pastrami. I seen someone order the Kinish (think that spelt right) I'll hopefully get that next time when I go back. Also got a can of cream soda. Amazing but defo pricey.

@hakimshah8397 8 месяцев назад

idk why people are saying that Katz'a sandwishes were 18, I remember going to the Deli in 2017 and it was 24.95 then, it was pricey then as it is now, but totally worth it! wish it was still Kosher though.

@Steve197201 6 месяцев назад

That looks like a delicious sandwich! I think the price is worth it if you're visiting and you're there for the whole NYC touristy experience. But if I worked in the area, I definitely wouldn't be getting that for lunch every day!

@docwho10th88 Год назад

Crack cocaine! Been to NY 4 times and it's my main go to...so much so that I buy and send the full $200 pastarmi to my home 3 times a year from their website. I am from Texas and we know meat...BUT the pastrami from Katz's is like meat butter...no teeth needed. Totally worth it....Hell, I pay the same here in Texas for smoked ribs from Franklin's BBQ...It's the same price about $21 bucks a pound...they are both worth it!

I agree with your assessment sir! Haven't been in a few years, but a welcome treat now and then! If you like your egg creams, check out the Lexington Candy Shop on E83rd and Lex. Just shy of 100 years old, and a neighborhood institution. Old school NYC luncheonette (probably video worthy!) Hope you had a safe new year sir!
