Pellet smoked Pastrami

[squirtthecat]

than the better deli pastrami I like the best (Buddy's in Bayside).

Hey Pokey, I'll be in Brooklyn the week of Christmas... I plan on doing a 'Deli Crawl' while Mrs and her Mom go off and do their thing... Where is Buddy's at?

MrsKyNola mixed up the pastrami rub yesterday and trimmed the 3 corned beef briskets and applied the rub to them. They are resting comfortable in the frig until Saturday or Sunday when they will meet the MAK 2 Star full of hickory.

I am SO keeping that woman.

Well, Brooklyn and Queens (where Bayside is) are like different countries. I'm certain you don't have to leave Brooklyn to get great pastrami, but I wouldn't know where to tell you to go. Katz’s Delicatessen (205 E Houston St at Ludlow) in Manhattan has great deli meat. Buddys is at 215-01 73rd Ave. zip 11364. You can Mapquest it, but it would be a haul from Brooklyn. Like Big Poppa says, NYC is a mecca for this kind of thing.

Thanks Pokey. I go by STC as well. (or just 'Pat')

Katz's is on my list for sure. There is a place near our rental in Brooklyn that specializes in "Montreal Smoked Meat". Kinda like pastrami, minus the coriander and other spices. I'm going to saunter over and check it out.

Corned beef round vs. brisket

Hi,
I just picked up a corned beef round at Costco to make Pastrami out of, as they didn't have any briskets. Any thoughts?
