ShalomLife: Adam Gertler Interview

17 June 2011

Canadian Jewish lifestyle blog ShalomLife.com recently published an interview with Food Network's Adam Gertler, who is a Friend of Langer's for many reasons, not the least of which was his hosting of our "Best Thing I Ever Ate" segment during their "Between Bread" episode - the highest-viewed portrayal of Langer's Delicatessen-Restaurant in our 64-year history.

Adam is now hosting Kid in a Candy Store on Food Network, and during his interview he had nice things to say about Langer's:

Since you’re a food lover, I have to ask: what’s your favourite Jewish dish?

I think our greatest contributions to the culinary world are appetizing and deli. I love few things on earth more than an everything bagel, slightly scooped, smeared with scallion cream cheese, topped with lox, tomato, red onion and a sunny side up egg and maybe a slice of muenster. Best breakfast sandwich ever.

As a native New Yorker I have great fondness for Katz's and 2nd Ave Deli, but as a Californian transplant, my favourite is Langer's deli, which I spoke about on Best Thing I Ever Ate. They have the best pastrami on the planet next to my own, which we used to serve at the Smoked Joint in Philadelphia. Now that our restaurant isn't around, Langer's rules the pastrami kingdom.

Thank you, Adam! See you soon at Langer's.
