Pastrami Sandwich
Start here: Pastrami vs Reuben.
Do you want the extras, or do you trust the meat? That’s the entire argument. The pastrami sandwich strips everything down—bread, meat, maybe mustard—and dares you to say it’s not enough.
No distractions. No safety net. If the meat is good, it wins. If it’s not, it has nowhere to hide.
Compared to something like an Italian Sub, it feels almost stubborn. Why add anything else?
It’s not trying to impress you. It’s trying to prove a point.
