When it comes to snacking, meal times and everything in between, there’s one thing Americans can all agree on: the sandwich is king. Whether these stacked-bread behemoths are served up at the best breakfast restaurants in America, the best BBQ restaurants in America or are some of the secret menu items across America, we can’t get enough bacon-egg-and-cheeses, beef briskets, Italian subs, classic pastrami on rye bread or spicy pork banh mi. So, the next time the craving strikes, hit up these spots to indulge in some of the best sandwiches in America.

The Difference Between Corned Beef And Pastrami

They both come from cows, but they are different cuts of beef. They’re also cooked and eaten differently.
Corned beef is typically brisket. While pastrami can also be brisket, it comes from the navel, which is the cut next to the brisket, closer to the belly. “Navel is particularly fatty and stands up well to the long cooking to come,” says Serious Eats.
Both cuts of beef are cured, which means they’ve been brined in a salt water solution. The brine may or may not include spices and seasoning. The cooking process differs after the curing. Corned beef is boiled while pastrami is smoked. Pastrami may also be rubbed with spices again before the smoking process.
I’m pretty sure that V-”cheese” is considered an anti-carcinogen, probably an anti-oxidant.
