OT: Hot Pastrami recommendations?

[HectorSpectre]

It’s funny to scroll down through the topics about football and then see ,”hot pastrami recommendations.” Makes me laugh

I’m stunned that this throwaway thread has survived for 3 months.

I guess that’s a true testament to the broad appeal of hot pastrami sandwiches, and the vast experience thereof & limitless expertise therein of the fantastic Trojan Family.

Mahalo to everyone for all the great hot pastrami sandwich shoppe recommendation.

Personally, I’m seriously hooked on ‘em and, when I’m away, I truly miss a great LA hot pastrami with traditional sides of deli potato salad & wedges of legit garlic dills.

Nobody offers anything even close in my neck of the woods.

The Oinkster, now that's the best restaurant name I've ever heard!

Try their Pork Adobo Burger....

The Hat and Jim's are long time , old time home runs. In Orange county Nick's in Seal Beach and Los Alamitos are very good. Togo's franchise sandwich shop has excellent pastrami's sandwiches., surprisingly .

I used to live a block away from Nicks and it is known for their breakfast burrito.

I made a trip to University Village and I have a hankering for a hot pastrami sandwich for lunch today.

I'm wondering if anyone has a recommendation.

If not, it's Johnnie's Pastrami on Sepulveda way out in Culver City, for me. Since I need to be in Marina Del Ray later anyway, the drive is no big deal.

Thanks anyway.

The best pastrami I've ever enjoyed is Katz Deli in New York. More locally,

For my money the best pastrami I've ever enjoyed is Katz Deli in New York. Locally you can't go wrong with either Langer's Deli in Westlake (I get mine on French roll not rye) or Brent's Deli in Northridge.

If you're in a hurry or not able to schlep out to Northridge or Westlake, then believe it or not Ike's Love & Sandwiches, an Oakland based chain w/ several locations in greater LA, has a pretty good Pastrami on Dutch Crunch bread! Fight on!

Eastside Italian Deli, not sure if it was mentioned. Never had a straight pastrami from there but the DA special is ridiculously good.

Nicks is definitely breakfast burrito. Factors for Jewish pastrami on pico

Well, there’s no off topic forum anymore so this is the OT forum.

Combine football with good pastrami and you have a real winner!

The Hat in Glendora, on Route 66 has indoor seats...

Yeah, the original in Alhambra dont, just like the original In N Out....

Do you mean the In-N-Out in Baldwin Park? And why is it on both sides of the freeway? There was an article about the woman owner and her interesting life some time ago; I can’t remember the reference.

There used to be an Italian restaurant (Rosa’s?) in that same area north of the 210 frwy, and it featured northern Italian cuisine with great gelato.
