On this occasion I went to Miranda’s specifically to try their Pastrami on Rye. Being a New Yorker I had something in mind already and through their Instagram page I was kinda challenged to try it. The sandwich is a very good sandwich, but it could have been an exceptionally great sandwich if the emphasis was on the pastrami and not on the bread. The bread was overly buttered and overpowered the taste. The meat was really secondary. The bread is cut thick and toasted. There is one slice of cheese. But the meat is a smallish portion. I calculate less than a 6 ounce stack. There were bites, especially away from the center that were all greasy toasted bread and cheese, with no pastrami. The meat itself was tender, but I could not distinguish the classic coriander, pepper, brine and smoke taste that is pastrami. I will go back and request the pastrami on untoasted rye bread with no cheese to really try to taste the meat.
