Pastrami Piled as High as New York, With Prices to Match
NY Times ^ | 3/19/15 | Jim Dewyr

Posted on 03/28/2015 5:45:24 PM PDT by Rebelbase

Short on dismal news? Have a look at this notice, taped to the counter at the Yankee Tavern on 161st Street in the Bronx.

“Due to the increased price of pastrami,” it began, unpromisingly, “we at the Yankee Tavern apologize for the increase in prices for the pastrami items.”

Pastrami is in crisis.

“I contemplated taking it off the menus,” Joe Bastone, owner of the tavern, said. “I came very close to doing it. I decided to try passing it on.”

"I find the pastrami to be the most sensual of all the salted cured meats".

I think I’d pay the price...It’s been a long time since I’ve had a great pastrami sandwich and it would be worth it - at least once....

Better than $9 per lb for deli sliced corned beef.

It only takes a spark — to get inflation going.

They’re going to “pass it on.”

I love pastrami but I can do without it.

I just had one of the best steaks I ever ate. It was a rib eye on sale at the local market. This particular market gets their meat from Mexico and the quality is all over the place.

Of maybe a dozen packs, most looked really tough with little fat and no marbling. Then I noticed a 3 pack which looked great. Probably would have graded out as prime. $5.67 a pound so I got it.

Sure enough, both tender and tasty. I still have two left.

I've always wanted to have a pastrami sandwich at a classic NYC deli.My hunch is that those delis that remain are located in Brooklyn rather than Manhattan.

Maybe someday.....

A hot pastrami sandwich on an old fashioned bulkie roll is the nearest thing to heaven that I know.

Porterhouse is my favorite steak but I will never order from Omaha Steaks again. My daughter has sent me a gift card for Christmas the last few years.

I always thought they were overpriced but the meat was decent. This year I tried to get a replacement and they flat out refused to do anything. They had a good reputation but I did some checking and that is a thing of the past.

Total jerks to deal with.

Omaha is usually pretty good but we had some of their steaks today and they were a little disappointing.

"Pastrami, you say? A little fatty, isn't it? No, we're sticking with calzones from Paisono's!"

We complained about a few products and they gave us credited us. We also mentioned the items that we liked.

I need to get off this thread. That sandwich and pickle! All the talk about meat is making me hungry.
