The problem with eating Jewish food is 16 hours later you’re hungry again.

Hope it is better than Carnegie — just got back from NYC and ate there on Saturday (first time). Complete and total disappointment! Have eaten at much better delis in NYC.

Thanks for making me laugh!

thought the deli-sliders was a strange confluence of trends, although the smaller size is a good idea. their regular pastrami is enough for two people.

my Jewish colleague hadnt seen that many of his tribe since the last time he went to Temple. That made for a colorful lunch.

Off the subject as I’d not been to Roasters yet but will quickly get on it! Speaking of a reverse Annie Hall moment. My former mother n’ law was apparently nervous about meeting her first Hebrew when I visited for the first time. We were at a restaurant and she mistakenly called the Gazpacho soup Gestapo soup.

“I’m a WASPY shiksa who in 1976 totally humiliated her Jewish boyfriend by slathering mayo on pastrami piled on top of white bread.”

ha!

my shiksa girlfriend mispoke at our first passover seder, accidentally referring to shank bone as a “skank bone”.

luckily my family is a bit more understanding!

Had lunch there with my daughters twice the first week they were open and I wish I had 5
more kids. Had to show them what a real N. Y.
deli was really like when I was a kid living
in Brooklyn. Will be back this week and don’t
care how fat I get- it’s worth it

One the best movie sight gags ever: Woody Allen’s silent reax to Diane Keaton ordering corned beef with mayo on white bread in “Annie Hall.” (and Nancy, Dr. Freud and I are jess funnin’ each other, to use the local vernacular… )

Went opening week – thumbs up for the Pastrami and tuna melt good too – but major thumbs down on the Matzo Ball Soup. Very disappointing, can-quality salt bath.

I didn’t say anything about orthodox. Who are you people! I’m a WASPY shiksa who in 1976 totally humiliated her Jewish boyfriend by slathering mayo on pastrami piled on top of white bread.While sitting on plastic covered chairs in a dining room in Brooklyn. His family would not allow us to marry. True story.

True! To the best of my recollection, there was neither cole slaw nor sauerkraut on Mount Sinai.

But you are not suggesting cheese on an “orthodox” Reuben, are you?

Roaster’s offers corn beef Reuben and turkey Reuben, both with hot sauerkraut. Mine was “Pastrami Rachel.” And I didn’t want sauerkraut.

Sometimes with cole slaw, at least in the SFla of my youth. Like standing up or sitting down for the Shema.

Reuben = corned beef, sauerkraut and Russian dressing, nu?

I’ve been a patron of the original in Miami for years. My ‘rents live nearby, so whenever I visit, it’s one of the regular stops. It’s no Wolfie’s or Pumpernick’s (for any SFla alta kakers like me in the audience) but it is the real deal. I had no idea it was here. I wonder if it serves *real* bagels instead of the dinner-rolls-with-holes that masquerade most places in Dallas? (Nancy, if you liked it with the Swiss and Russian dressing and cole slaw, why did you not simply order a Reuben? Which is, pace “Dr. Freud,” an authentic sandwhich of the genre…)

“Mine was on toasted rye with melted Swiss and extra Russian dressing.”

Hmmm. Oy vey … Such a shiksa!

Same as you Nancy, I only ate half. Gray’s was a bucket list must for my daughter.
