Good Luck Fred!

Actually, my daughter was kidding about me needing a pastrami steer. I am more than hip to Katz's. I have been there and I rate it #1 over the Stage, Carnegie, and 2nd Ave Deli. I love the fact that you can watch the guy make the sandwich. That is half of the experience with me. Dont worry, I will do serious damage at Katz's.

Beard

There isnt a single good corned beef or pastrami joint in the whole city of Chicago! For true.

Have fun....

Try Kaufman's deli. 4905 w. dempster.Comes close to Katz's but not technically not in Chicago but Skokie

Since NY is the Ultimate melting pot of humankind. You'll have a very interesting time, look forward to another Bobby Riggs story.

Been to Kaufman's. Very good. Probably the only place in Chicago where I will go out of my way to get a corned beef sandwich. They were closed (fire?) for a long time.
They used to have great bagels, but they must have changed the recipe, or get them from someplace else, because they are now just average or below.

I will also go to Moon's on Western and Madison. Neighborhood is scary, but the joint is owned by policemen -- policemen with relatives in the mob. The corned beef is good but the rye bread is a shit commercial brand.


Beard

Next to the NY deli's, the corned beef here doesnt compare.

Manny's is probably the worst. Big count, meat tough as shoe leather.

If Sunnyone shows she will have to stand for a body search. Or give me a in depth flash. I am not from the Show Me State, but I like the way they do things.
