Los Angeles has some fine traditional deli options. But it's Langer's that boasts the reputation as having the best pastrami in the city.

Perhaps the best of the best: Katz's Deli hot patrami and a cream soda. The famous NYC landmark never disappoints.

Much needed hunger relief after a days hiking in Santa Barbara, hot patrami from Nortons Pastrami in Santa Barbara, CA

One of my favorites for pastrami: Carnegie Deli in New York. While the pastrami is in a tight race with Katz's for supremacy, Carnegie has perhaps the best knish: tasty mashed potatoes in a buttery shell.
