and 2nd is thinly sliced corned beef piled high on rye bread in any good Jewish deli. I have not found any thing comparable and delicious west of Mississippi.

That reminds me of how much I miss the Philly Jewish deli sandwich called a "Corned Beef Special", which is "thinly sliced (shaved) corned beef piled high on rye bread" with cole slaw right in the sandwich, as well as Russian dressing (the kind that's sort of like "Thousand Island" dressing) also right on the sandwich.

Nothing like that where we live now.

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!
