joethefoodie Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 I'm at Frankel's now, having lunch. Due to its very limited menu, I don't think it should be on the list. Others may argue. That said, the pastrami is pretty damn good (and the rye is serviceable). The bagels are from Baz. It's cute, and there are lots of man buns. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

joethefoodie Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 I'll leave that to others to find out. Meanwhile... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
joethefoodie Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 Admins - Would this thread be better off in New York, since it's all about delis, in New York, that are far from dead? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Melonius Thunk Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 Is that hand sliced? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
joethefoodie Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 It sure looked like it. ETA: $15 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

SobaAddict70 Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 It's better than what we've got here in San Francisco, for sure. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rail Paul Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 It's better than what we've got here in San Francisco, for sure. Maybe you'll get one. SF would seem to be a promising market. The location in Las Vegas certainly seems to do well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SobaAddict70 Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 We were in Las Vegas a month ago. Huh, will have to make a note for next time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The pastrami is a pale shadow of Katz's. The matzo ball soup is pretty good. The potato salad needs work. One out of four is pathetic. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

SobaAddict70 Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 I wanted to like it but it was a touch too salty. Pity. The matzo ball is literally the size of my fist. Fluffy it's not. Great chicken broth with lots of fresh dill. Maybe I need to do more research...you know, so I can compare notes.... Lacked acidity or any sort of interest. I ended up adding some slivered pickled peppers because it was that boring. In their defense, potato salad is difficult to pull off. I rarely have any satisfying versions.

Wilfrid Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 Some of you guys are going to think there places on this list which are not delis; and maybe even not Jewish. 21 Stellar Jewish Delis Quote Link to post Share on other sites
