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.

There is no pastrami like NYC pastrami. And they DO really pile it high. In a former life I lived and worked there for a while. NYC really knows how to make a sandwich.
Sunny Isles, FL. Closed 2008.
Yep! That looks like what I remember.
Mercy!
No potato knish ?
I have a cousin, actually she is my Father’s first cousin. She has been editors of newspapers for around 50 years, some of them pretty big outfits.
I got a letter from her a year or two back. She mentioned being in New York visiting her Grand daughter who is at a music school.
She said the best hot dogs she has ever eaten are from sidewalk vendors in New York.
Just remembered her Grand Daughter is attending Julliard School.
Dump a some into a ziplock with enough soy sauce and olive oil and let the meat marinate for a few minutes.
I am going to try that if I can get it locally. It sounds really easy.
McCormicks so it should be available.
Mexican beef, you mean Horse? ; )
One question. Do you fork the meat to leave holes for the marinade to better soak in? Then how do you cook them?
I still have two great ones that I want to cook them right.
My fave NYC hot dogs are from Gray’s Papaya....the recession special...2/$5.00, includes a drink.
It’s on the spice aisle at the grocery.
Yummm...recently had a Rueben at Katz’ Deli, in NYC. Almost the same amount of meat.
Don’t fork it. Give it a minimum of 5-10 minute soak then grill it as usual.
Great on chicken and pork chops too.
“I think Id pay the price...Its been a long time since Ive had a great pastrami sandwich and it would be worth it - at least once....”
Had it on Snday at Kenny and Ziggy’s in Houston.
Here’s the recipe from the bottle. I just eyeball the measurements and use whatever olive oil is on hand virgin or not.
2 tsp McCormick GrillMates Montreal Steak Seasoning
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
2 tbsp soy sauce
Directions
1. Mix ingredients in a shallow dish.
2. Marinate 1 lb steak for 30 minutes, turning once.
Thanks, I will try that. I will have to get the seasoning and the olive oil as I just used the last I had.
Thanks.
