With the sole exception of Reubens salt beef of course

Overpriced and portions far too small. Considering the salt beef and pastrami you guys get in NY, I'm amazed how much you rate Reubens. It's not thought of highly by the UK kehilla.

I think you're the only one that raves about it.
Go try Izzys pastrami rib or brisket. Now that is life changing!
Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.

I'm the only one? I jumped on the bandwagon fairly recently. I had Izzy's but I'm not a huge black pepper guy so it's kinda wasted on me. Although the Short rib at Mike's is something we both can agree on.

I agree about the black pepper. his ribs are much less spicy

Lol. Reminds me of this, “There's an old joke - um... two elderly women are at a Catskill mountain resort, and one of 'em says, "Boy, the food at this place is really terrible." The other one says, "Yeah, I know; and such small portions."

Rubens Salt Beef is excellent. But part of the attraction is that its in the UK, where everything else is awful.

Never thought of it that way, but you're probably right
