What the creator captured
UA Eats was highly impressed by the pastrami sandwich, noting its tender, fatty texture and unique garlic-forward seasoning. He particularly praised the seeded rye bread as being superior to other famous delis and felt the restaurant successfully carried on the legacy of the iconic Carnegie Deli. Despite the sandwich's massive size, he found it so delicious that he ate most of it before even providing his commentary.
