Carnegie matzoh soup might be better than anything on earth.

If it comes down to one solitary sandwich, I would def give it to Katz's for the pastrami.
But since Carnegies has the most awesome matzoh soup, better pickles, amazing pies and enormous piles of awesome meat, Carnegie is ultimately a better destination

katz's is so much better than carnegie it's ridiculous. granted i haven't been to carnegie in years, but i remember liking the stage deli better.
but nothing beats jewish deli in the san fernando valley.

I have trouble w/ kosher delis, but mebbe I give Katz's a shot for the soup why cos it look wintry out.

i've never had the soup @ katz's. i usually stick with the sandwiches, the knishes, and the hot dogs.

Katz's in a landslide.
Traditionally, I'd vote for Art's but right now I'd go with Langer's.

i was talking specifically about valley delis. langer's is a strong candidate for best pastrami sandwich in the world, but the restaurant is kind of a one-trick pony. (but their matzoh ball soup always cures my colds.)

Truth is that second ave knocks both these out, but I haven't been to new non-second-ave location so obv. Katz

I think Katz's might beat 2nd Ave on sandwiches and hot dogs, but 2nd Ave is the all-around winner

has anyone been to the new location
― ice cr?m, Thursday, 4 December 2008 15:23 (fifteen years ago) link
i went to the new location last week. corned beef was ok, matzoh ball soup was good-to-great, latkes were weird.

oh, kasha knish was v tasty.
okay i've been to both....but i forget which was which...one was by the david letterman show kinda and one was the orgasm scene in harry met sally.

agh, I've been looking at Katz's menu online and having mad pastrami lust.
― WmC, Sunday, 7 December 2008 18:54 (fifteen years ago) link
Katz's bathrooms are indeed questionable. They make the pickles in the basement and I like that they use a confusing, arcane and punitive system of payment to fuck with tourists.
It's fun to go there and feel like you're part of something bigger than yourself, but eating a whole one of their pastrami sandwiches is just asking for trouble. It is too much food for one person. Better to go with a friend and split one or start out by getting half wrapped up to go at the counter so you don't get tempted to eat the whole thing. Last time I ate a whole Katz's sandwich I called my mom, all "ow, ow, I got meat poisoning and my blood is 99% pastrami" and she was not sympathetic enough.

An excruciatingly hot curry, more pain and sweat than flavor. For our customers who do this on a dare, we will require you to state a verbal disclaimer not holding us liable for any physical or emotional damage after eating this curry.
