19 August 2011

GastronomyBlog.com recently featured a profile of Langer's Deli, featuring the authoress, her astronomy-focused husband ("the Astronomer"), and two friends - all of whom had never been to Langer's before (but did have familiarity with the smoked meats of Canada):

It was impossible to discern the pastrami’s flavor and texture amidst all the fixings, but I didn’t care because the entire package was so damn satisfying. I loved how the meat married with the tangy dressing and coleslaw, while the bread valiantly held together all the saucy stuff. The #19 lived up to the hype and then some. Open wide!
