1
00:00.310 --> 00:01.670
Okay we're at Second Avenue Deli,
2
00:01.670 --> 00:02.503
it is-
3
00:02.503 --> 00:04.290
big plot twist: not on Second Avenue.
4
00:04.290 --> 00:05.170
It's on 33rd and 3rd.
5
00:05.170 --> 00:06.070
Which makes no sense,
6
00:06.070 --> 00:06.950
but, whatever.
7
00:06.950 --> 00:08.160
We're here, we got the pastrami burger.
8
00:08.160 --> 00:10.870
I just got the pastrami burger to kind of...
9
00:10.870 --> 00:11.703
cheat the system,
10
00:11.703 --> 00:13.150
and try the pastrami at Second Avenue Deli,
11
00:13.150 --> 00:14.010
I'll admit that.
12
00:14.010 --> 00:15.240
I mean, if we're here, you kind of have to try it.
13
00:15.240 --> 00:17.210
It's kind of like going to John's of Bleeker
14
00:17.210 --> 00:18.043
and not getting the pizza,
15
00:18.043 --> 00:20.310
or going to fucking Italy and not getting pizza.
16
00:20.310 --> 00:21.440
Going to, like, Pink's in LA-
17
00:21.440 --> 00:23.150
you ever been to Pink's in LA, hot dog place?
18
00:23.150 --> 00:24.530
See it on the Travel Channel a lot.
19
00:24.530 --> 00:25.810
But it's like going there and not getting a hot dog.
20
00:25.810 --> 00:27.170
So, that's done.
21
00:27.170 --> 00:28.630
We have pastrami on the side,
22
00:28.630 --> 00:29.630
this bun is kind of trash,
23
00:29.630 --> 00:30.830
like a kaiser roll.
24
00:30.830 --> 00:31.801
I mean, there's just nothing on here.
25
00:31.801 --> 00:32.820
I'm going to-
26
00:32.820 --> 00:33.653
What do we do this, out of five?
27
00:33.653 --> 00:34.890
I'm going to say...
28
00:34.890 --> 00:35.775
This is-
29
00:35.775 --> 00:36.608
Chocolate syrup for you.
30
00:36.608 --> 00:37.441
Oh, thank you so much.
31
00:37.441 --> 00:38.274
What is that?
32
00:38.274 --> 00:39.706
Chocolate syrup.
33
00:39.706 --> 00:40.560
Oh. It's like a shot of chocolate?
34
00:40.560 --> 00:41.393
Fantastic.
35
00:41.393 --> 00:42.226
Look at that.
36
00:42.226 --> 00:44.160
If this is more than, like, three and half balls
37
00:44.160 --> 00:44.993
I'd be shocked.
38
00:44.993 --> 00:46.170
Because it's literally just pastrami and meat,
39
00:46.170 --> 00:47.190
and a lot of meat, at that.
40
00:47.190 --> 00:48.740
There's just no other ingredients on this.
41
00:48.740 --> 00:49.573
But, yeah.
42
00:49.573 --> 00:50.527
Let's dive in.
43
00:50.527 --> 00:52.521
Eat some pastrami burger.
44
00:52.521 --> 00:55.490
(restaurant chatter)
45
00:55.490 --> 00:59.110
So, the pastrami burger is 25 dollars
46
00:59.110 --> 01:01.960
and a hot pastrami sandwich is 22 dollars.
47
01:01.960 --> 01:03.130
It would make a lot of sense just to get
48
01:03.130 --> 01:04.070
the hot pastrami sandwich
49
01:04.070 --> 01:06.160
because it's the only thing you want to taste on the burger.
50
01:06.160 --> 01:06.993
So, yeah.
51
01:06.993 --> 01:08.910
I'm going to give that a solid, like-
52
01:08.910 --> 01:09.810
thank you so much-
53
01:09.810 --> 01:11.040
I'm going to give it, like, a two point eight balls.
54
01:11.040 --> 01:12.020
Really not worth it,
55
01:12.020 --> 01:13.530
but we've got to try the pastrami,
56
01:13.530 --> 01:15.546
so let's try the pastrami, as well.
57
01:15.546 --> 01:18.629
(restaurant chatter)
58
01:20.220 --> 01:21.140
It's no Katz's, honestly,
59
01:21.140 --> 01:21.973
I will say:
60
01:21.973 --> 01:23.567
Second Avenue Deli, kind of disappointed.
61
01:23.567 --> 01:24.400
I'm disappointed,
62
01:24.400 --> 01:25.392
Second Avenue Deli.
63
01:25.392 --> 01:27.691
I'm going to go with a three point eight balls on the...
64
01:27.691 --> 01:28.524
Pastrami.
65
01:28.524 --> 01:29.357
So that's- what is that?
66
01:29.357 --> 01:31.890
A total of three point three.
67
01:31.890 --> 01:32.740
Fast math, right?
68
01:33.620 --> 01:34.453
No alcohol, here.
69
01:34.453 --> 01:35.286
It's a kosher deli,
70
01:35.286 --> 01:37.090
so we're going to skip the alcohol portion.
71
01:37.090 --> 01:38.010
And we'll...
72
01:38.010 --> 01:38.843
Do these fries.
73
01:38.843 --> 01:39.730
These fries actually look fire.
74
01:39.730 --> 01:41.463
They do some thick fries.
75
01:41.463 --> 01:42.820
(restaurant chatter)
76
01:42.820 --> 01:43.990
That's a good fry.
77
01:43.990 --> 01:45.620
I told the guy "a side of Russian dressing,"
78
01:45.620 --> 01:47.440
he did not bring me a side of Russian dressing.
79
01:47.440 --> 01:49.070
These French fries, side of Russian,
80
01:49.070 --> 01:49.960
probably would be out of this world.
81
01:49.960 --> 01:50.807
I'm going to go with a four point one balls
82
01:50.807 --> 01:51.970
for these French fries.
83
01:51.970 --> 01:52.870
Home run.
84
01:52.870 --> 01:54.610
These delis know how to do the fries.
85
01:54.610 --> 01:56.890
They're fucking good, the French fries.
86
01:56.890 --> 01:57.730
Got to give them credit, there.
87
01:57.730 --> 01:59.740
Finally, I'll be honest...
88
01:59.740 --> 02:00.573
Interesting place,
89
02:00.573 --> 02:01.860
you walk in, you've got the whole kitchen right up there,
90
02:01.860 --> 02:04.690
they're all cooking the pastrami, the corn beef, everything.
91
02:04.690 --> 02:06.070
Then you walk back to a bunch of tables,
92
02:06.070 --> 02:08.140
probably, like, 20, 30 tables,
93
02:08.140 --> 02:09.550
two separate areas,
94
02:09.550 --> 02:12.170
menu and everything, very old school.
95
02:12.170 --> 02:13.370
It's like a Seinfeld diner,
96
02:13.370 --> 02:14.530
I can see, like, Seinfeld and Larry David
97
02:14.530 --> 02:15.610
hanging out in here.
98
02:15.610 --> 02:16.550
I am a fan of it.
99
02:16.550 --> 02:19.740
I'm going to say four point three balls
100
02:19.740 --> 02:20.573
on the ambience,
101
02:20.573 --> 02:21.613
very cool ambience.
102
02:21.613 --> 02:23.050
Now, finally,
103
02:23.050 --> 02:24.300
we've got to take the shot.
104
02:24.300 --> 02:25.920
This guy brought over the shot of chocolate-
105
02:25.920 --> 02:26.753
I don't know what it is,
106
02:26.753 --> 02:27.650
chocolate mousse or something?
107
02:27.650 --> 02:28.483
So, yeah.
108
02:28.483 --> 02:29.440
This could be the alcohol portion,
109
02:29.440 --> 02:30.610
but I don't really think there's alcohol in here.
110
02:30.610 --> 02:31.960
So, whatever, (cheers-ing).
111
02:33.056 --> 02:34.140
(restaurant chatter)
112
02:34.140 --> 02:34.973
Tastes like an egg cream.
113
02:34.973 --> 02:36.280
You ever had egg cream?
114
02:36.280 --> 02:37.290
It's like a- my-
115
02:37.290 --> 02:39.270
fun fact: my uncle made the best egg cream in New York City,
116
02:39.270 --> 02:40.103
voted by Deli News,
117
02:40.103 --> 02:41.060
like 20 years ago.
118
02:41.060 --> 02:42.790
You put, like, chocolate, seltzer, and milk in thing,
119
02:42.790 --> 02:44.420
it's like a seltzer-y milkshake.
120
02:44.420 --> 02:46.185
That's what this tastes like.
121
02:46.185 --> 02:47.506
I'll give it a three point eight balls,
122
02:47.506 --> 02:48.339
it doesn't knock my socks off.
123
02:48.339 --> 02:49.172
But, yeah.
124
02:49.172 --> 02:50.005
That was Second Avenue Deli.
125
02:50.005 --> 02:50.838
A little disappointed, honestly,
126
02:50.838 --> 02:52.240
but (mumbles) will persevere,
127
02:52.240 --> 02:53.320
and we'll live.
128
02:53.320 --> 02:54.470
Definitely Katz's still has my heart
129
02:54.470 --> 02:56.620
when it comes to pastrami in New York City.
