Pastrami, Corned Beef, or Montreal Smoked Meat -- What's Your Pleasure?!

[Uncle-A]

Sauerkraut was never one of my favorite food. Found it to be too harsh and astringent. That said, the St. Bernard grill at Taos serves a mean sauerkraut with juniper berries. Really mellow and flavorful. Intended to be served with the bratwurst yet good enough to put on top of anything else that comes off the grill.

I like the idea of naming eating establishments in ski towns for all of the community see. Although as we know the quality of food is subjective to taste and if the chef changes so does the food. Has anyone started a thread about eating places near ski resorts? I seem to remember a thread about bars in ski resorts just not restaurants.

I'm from Montreal. 'nough said.

Skiing must be over for most of us because we have two food threads that are the most active. This one and the Seafood thread.

Definitely for most.

Ahhh, I'm still skiing at Killington, but it makes me hungry!

There is a Delaware institution called Capriotti's that serves great sandwiches. They make the expected cheese steaks, hoagies, meat ball, etc., but are famous for their fresh roasted turkey and roast beef hoagies. They claim to be the originator of the Thanksgiving on a bun sandwich called the Bobbie after the aunt that invented it. But the Capastrami is a grilled pastrami hoagie with Swiss and cole slaw. A personal favorite.

There was enough coral reef at Sugarloaf today that I should have been able to score some tropical fish

They have franchised. We have them here in Reno. The bread is lousy, Jersey Mikes is better.

I voted for MSM.

I love me some sauerkraut, as well as red cabbage.
Both my parents are from Austria so I grew up on all that ethnic food. Every family prepared there red-cabbage a different way depending on their regional recipes ( Austrian, German, East German, Polish, etc ). My one pal has Hungarian parents and grew up with his food traditions. When we do our annual ski trip to Austria/Germany, we both agree we are not sure if we go for the skiing or for the food/drink/culture . We are booked-in for 2023 and can't wait to get back there next February !

Salmon isn't meat. Get thee to a nunnery!!!

Thread drift alert...

What is the difference between Russian dressing and Thousand Island dressing? As part caveman, I like both.... but have wondered what the difference is? (I could Google it, but the information provided here is so much more entertaining....lol)

Russian dressing does without the horrid sweet pickles in Thousand Island dressing.

Back in my MN years, my favorite Reuben was made with Russian dressing (Grandma's Saloon and Deli IIRC).

So no thread drift penalty for you at all, BC!

There's your problem. You need that hoagie roll from a Philly area bakery. The original shop is in the Little Italy section of Wilmington DE. Home of St Anthony's Italian festival, the largest on the east coast.

You are going to have to post the dates for that festival, sounds like a trip worth making.

This could only be one place.......Harold's?????

We have some pretty good Rubin choices here in Albany, Troy and Schenectady. A Rubin is Corned beef, coleslaw, Russin on rye - grilled. The corned beef can be too fatty laced/gnarly, and that ruins it. Russian is now refered to as the dressing formerly known as Russian.

Went I am able to get to Montreal - 4 hours drive, it feels more NYC like than any of the other cities in Canada. It's got both culture and lack there of. Need to make a road trip.

Do you care to share the names of these dell's that are still in business in Queens, NY? I remember Katz's deli in the city but I think they closed and are only an online sales.

Katz's Deli is alive and well on Houston Street in NYC. Or at least they were last September. They are so popular that when we tried to stop by there was a 2 hour wait to get in.

Remember you gotta "send a salami to your boy in the army" said with a NY accent. My husband has several Katz's T-shirts and he is often stopped by people who say "oh yeah, I loved that place when I was in Houston". He used to correct them but now he just walks away shaking his head.

That’s a function of the internet, “top things…” lists, trip advisor, yelp, blah blah blah.
