@George,
Where in Montreal is Schwartz's located please?
The Second Avenue Deli in NYC has wonderful sandwiches. Here's a pastrami on rye:
This thread is making me hungry.
OK y'all...let's talk about the Philly Cheese Steak, one of the most perfect sandwiches ever devised.
I had a good one once in a pizza shop run by Greeks, but one day I want to visit THE cheese steak Mecca...
where would that be?
Thank you, George and Joe. Must have passed the place a dozen times on visits to the most civilized city on the East Coast of North America and never paid it no mind.
Love Philly Cheese Steak. I had a very good one here in Atlanta many, many years ago, from a joint on Buford Highway, but have never found the place again nor tasted a cheese steak as tasty as that one.
@George,
Schwartz's is pretty dang amazing.
Nearer to me we have the Centre Street Deli and United Dairy resto - both of them do awesome awesome stuff - one meat, one milk.
@Roberta,
Ooooo . . . i LOVE pastrami . . . if you made me sammiches like that, i'd marry ya in a heartbeat . . .
@joefromchicago,
damn. i remember the owner mentioning their imminent closing when i was there last time, around August of 2008. I don't remember why he said they were closing. It had nothing to do with a lack of sales.

I'll get the pastrami and the bread.
I'll expect a ring in the mail. Two-karat solitaire would be nice. Say hi to Bethie for me. Hope she doesn't hold a grudge.
@Setanta,
You sound like my ol' man. He loooooooooooooves sammiches.
I remember Eddie Lenards steak subs...WONDERFUL.!!!! Our dates would take us girls there after the "drive in " on Route 5 ( The Branch Drive In)or the 301 Drive in on Rt 301 in maryland. DC was where you could go to "drink 3,2 beer at 18, haha where in maryland it was 21. Man o Man...what memories. Most often we would get the foot long steak sub, with onions & cheese. sloppy good, enough sandwich for 3 girls!
@aliceoftexas,
Alice, check out my previous post. It has the jingle AND the lyrics for Eddie Leonard's

When I was a young door to door book salesman in the mid 1970's I would get home after midnight at times and go directly to the Eddie Leonard's sandwich/sub shop off of 14th street in D.C. and get two half subs....one tuna and one ham and cheese melt. They were the finest (most filled) and joyfully served subs I've ever had. Later as a national sales manager for the same firm I would travel throughout the eastern seaboard from New Hampshire to New Orleans. Never found an equal sub/hero/po'boy or any other sandwich...even in my early Long Island and NYC days. Alas, I miss those rewards at the end of the day I looked so forward to.
@Roberta,
Drool....rumble............
