For smoked meat/corned beef/pastrami cravings while you're in toronto this place is pretty good.
After eating at Carnegie deli I really craved some corned beef and chicken liver. So off to katz I went for the first time.
I didn't know this place was cafeteria style so I'm happy it wasn't busy when I came. Otherwise there would be some annoyed regulars staring me down.
I got the chopped liver... It kind of freaked me out that they leave chopped liver on a plate out in the open (its on ice). Still I was craving some and alas... It would have to do. Doesn't that stuff go bad easily? It didn't seem very safe to have it sitting out exposed with the chicken salad ad tuna salad and egg salad.
Either way.. It was pretty tasty. The slight stomach ache that followed might have been caused by this, but I'm not completely sure.
Corned beef was delicious... Just a little too fatty and not as much taste as Carnegie deli. But that's like trying to compare a Toyota to a lexus.... It's a car... But just in two different classes.
smoked meat was a little dry for my liking... But again.... If we are to compare this to real Montreal smoked meat.... Well it's just not fair to do so!
