On our last trip to New York, we joined the noise and mayhem and ate lunch at Katz's Deli. Katz's is known for its legendary pastrami, corned beef, and other Jewish deli classics. Their most famous sandwich is the pastrami, a seasoned, smoked, and steamed cut of beef that is cured over 30 days. Amazing. We were in line behind a lady from Australia and she said that Katz's pastrami sandwich was what she had come halfway around the world for. It's a meat lover's paradise.
The Monday New York Times has a section, "The Metropolitan Diaries," and this past Monday's attention grabber was, "What's a vegetarian doing in a pastrami palace? I thought about Katz's and maybe that's where this person was and just for one meal threw all caution and beliefs to the wind.
At Katz’s
Dear Diary:
Overheard at Katz’s recently:
Customer: “I’m a vegetarian.”
Waiter: “So what are you doing here?

Love that NYC honesty, what was the person doing there?
