Canter's and Langer's both have really really good pastrami on rye sandwiches and pretty damned good brisket sandwiches as well.
Langer's also has the best corned beef I've ever tasted. They also have great rye bread which you can buy by the loaf to take home.
I've also managed to find a decent Philly cheese steak in LA. (Philly West on Westwood near Santa Monica Blvd).
I'm sure the purists will find something wrong with each of my faves, but these sandwiches are so much better than everything else around, and so good in-and-of themselves that I have to believe they are great approximations to the "real thing".
I feel honored to be addressed by a fellow admirer of Ronald Reagan. I have never tried Tullamore. I’ve been indulging in Bushmills, but I’ll try and find Tullamore on my next visit to the ABC store. May the Lord bless and keep you.
I feel for you. In Kansas City there just isn’t anything like what you find on the east coast. I really miss both Jewish AND Italian delis and bakeries!
In KC there’s a place called Rosatis that has the closest thing to an Italian Beef sandwich that I’ve found. The meat is a bit dry, but with some extra “au jus” and the sweet peppers, it’s one of the best sandwiches in KC. And since the “New York Bakery” closed, there is no good corned beef or pastrami to be had... But for my birthday, my step-mother sent me a care package from Katz’s Deli in NYC, pastrami, knishes, rye, mustard, and half-dill pickles! YUM!

Tullamore Dew!
GAHHH!
I gave meat up for Lent this year. Regretting that hard now.
It’s 5:12 on Saturday, and that recipe takes more than 3 hours. Guess I’ll have to drink the Guinness instead.
