Yes, I'm back in my favorite city again. This will be the last time I'm here till November. This was a unique year for me as I was able to go to Las Vegas so often in such a short time. I belong to two business organizations that move their yearly conventions from one place to another. both of them coincidentally had them here.
So I got in met up with a fellow machinery dealer who I have been friends with now for many years. We each got in early today (Wednesday) to have a little bit of extra fun. We started off the day by going to the famous New York eatery Carnegie Deli located at the Mirage Hotel.
It is smaller than the original but the taste was the same. As you walk past this place the smell draws you in. You can't beat true New York style Corned Beef and Pastrami. Yes a stumbling block for my low salt diet but I have been super good the past few weeks and felt I can afford a cheat. I wanted a corned beef and pastrami combo. it's called the "Woody Allen". It should be called the meat towers. It was ridiculous. As were most things coming out of the kitchen. This place takes portion control and annihilates it. The sandwich is so big that it is held together with Skewers. I took a photo but it was blurry. But I can easily say, it was stacked about 10" high. A true Dagwood.
The Pastrami was juicy and peppery the way pastrami should be. The corned beef was very lean and therefore dry in my book. I like a fattier piece of corned beef. I think my mother and I are the only ones who order corned beef fatty.
We both ended up controlling ourselves and eating just 1/2 the sandwich and taking the other 1/2 back. I think I can make three sandwiches with what I brought back.
If you go to any type of New York Style Deli, bring an appetite.
Carnegie Deli can be found on the Strip in Las Vegas at The Mirage Hotel. www.mirage.com
