Mid-Coast Maine 2021

Lovely-looking pastrami. I want to ask a question that’s been eating me. When you first ate their pastrami in 2019 you’d said

I drove by today and they had the sign out for pastrami. That is my siren song. … It was absolutely incredible pastrami, I’m fairly sure the best I have ever had. And I have eaten a lot of pastrami in my life …

Pastrami is my siren song, too, and it’s time, in my respectful, regular-guy opinion, for you to do that odious thing: compare. What other great pastramis of your life do you think this one is better than? Good pastrami is so friggin’ rich that I can only eat it when I must, on culinary grounds. I’m plotting my return to Maine, and I need to know how this compares to the various hand-cut thick, fatty pastramis of NYC or any other place. (Only “Our Fathers” in Allston has had that kind of pastrami in my experience.)
