THE ULTIMATE DELI SANDWICH: Pastrami on Rye
Pastrami on Rye is one of THE ultimate deli sandwiches, but unfortunately you can’t get it everywhere so today we’re making our own completely. We’re brining, rubbing, and smoking the pastrami, and making the caraway rye and grainy mustard from scratch. It’s a lot of work, but believe me when I say that you’re in for a huge payoff.
