| - Oh my gaad! I am still reeling from this Pastrami experience, so much so that I can't even use my usual Yelp Review Format.
Let us just make one thing clear before I go on. I was not even hungry before going in to Pancer's Deli Emporium. I was at the LCBO across the parking lot and noticed the Pancer's sign, and I remembered Moe Pancer's from way back in the day because they owned Patsrami & Corned Beef sandwiches. As this location was a hop skip and a leap from my parents house in Richmond Hill I had to give it a go, even though I had lunch shortly prior.
As I waited for my pastrami sandwich, Will filled me in on the location, the brisket and other useful history about Pancer's. It just so happens the same Chef who made the pastrami for 54 years (?!?!?) at the old location made it there now, and they made it slightly spicier. Will was kind enough to shave me off some to sample as he made my sandwich. Let me tell you, I never really knew what pastrami was until I ate this. I never tasted something so tender, seasoned, warm with the perfect thickness ever in my life. It made me so happy, I was truly impressed.
My sandwich with mustard on white rye was to die for. The best pastrami sandwich this side of.....The best pastrami sandwich ever.
I was on my way out and almost forgot to get a pickle. I will certainly be back to try other items on the menu, but for now the pastrami haunts my thoughts.
