Of course you're right on the size of sandwiches, Sneak. As we've agreed upon in the past, sandwiches should be as much about the bread as about what's inside the bread.

Where does that leave Katz's, both in terms of size and their bread?

[Wilfrid]

I read that their using Orwasher's rye.

In that case we've GOT to try it. I miss that bread.

Do they have Cott's Black Cherry.

Though I love a Katz's pastrami sandwich, it could be smaller (and less expensive) and I wouldn't object. The bread could be A LOT better, too.

Of course, I think a lot of people have come to depend on the size of that sandwich, as well as the ones at Carnegie, Stage, Sarge's, et. al. as a prerequisite to the NY pastrami/corned beef sandwich experience.

If it's Orawasher's, that's the best in the city, imo.

It's not surprising that the Eater round-up of early notices of Mile High reports several complaints that the sandwiches are too small. Only one notes that they're much cheaper than at standard NYC delis. I guess people WANT to buy something that's much too big to eat.

I think the reasonable sandwich size here is a positive good.

So, nu, what kind of bread are they using? And, is it any good?

Hey, you've come out!

I'm sure they use some special bread sourced either from Montreal (where they get their bagels flown in from) or from some bearded former liberal arts students in Greenpoint.

Or maybe it's Orwasher's.

All kidding aside, the bread is very good.

[Wilfrid]

I think I picked up the Orwasher reference from this week's New York, I think (threw it away).

So what are we talking about in terms of the size of the sandwiches? 'Wichcraft size? That would put it in the category of lunch rather than something that would make a reasonable dinner.

I'm fighting the urge to take a long subway ride to Brooklyn.

Much like the Lutherburger, I seem to be immune to the allure of poutine.

I'm sure your cardiologist is thankful.
